Book Synopsis Simulation and Similarity by : Michael Weisberg

Download or read book Simulation and Similarity written by Michael Weisberg and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2013-02-14 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an account of modeling and idealization in modern scientific practice, focusing on concrete, mathematical, and computational models. The main topics of this book are the nature of models, the practice of modeling, and the nature of the relationship between models and real-world phenomena. In order to elucidate the model/world relationship, Weisberg develops a novel account of similarity called weighted feature matching.
