Mathematics and Explanation

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This Element discusses traditional theory of scientific explanation, its inadequacies, clarifications, and how to integrate mathematical elements into the physical world. Some of the evidence for a novel scientific posit may be traced to the explanatory power that this posit would afford, were it to exist.
