An exploration of the relationship between mathematical theories and physical observations.

Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The central models of theoretical physics have been extraordinarily successful in describing and predicting the behavior of physical systems under an enormous range of conditions. But why are these mathematical theories so successful, and how is their structure influenced by the nature of the observations on which they are inevitably based? This intriguing book examines these subtle and fundamental issues, and investigates the complex interdependency of theory and experiment.Dealing with important and basic aspects of the general framework of physics, this book will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students in the physical sciences, and to anyone with an interest in the empirical and metaphysical foundations of science.
