About this title

Synopsis

Cambridge 1987 1st MIT. 8vo., 357pp., hardcover. Fine in Fine DJ.

From the Back Cover

Scientific Discovery examines the nature of scientific research; reviews the arguments for and against a normative theory of discovery; describes the evolution of the BACON programs, which discover quantitative empirical laws and invent new concepts; presents programs that discover laws in qualitative and quantitative data; and ties the results together, suggesting how a combined and extended program might find research problems, devise new instruments, and invent appropriate problem representations.
