Recensione

'Its fundamentalist view of observation is, however, bracing. It would be a useful supplementary text in a final-year physics course, and should also be of interest to philosophers of science with a sound background in physics.' The Observatory, Charles Jenkins

'I found this a stimulating book ... The strength of the book is its straightforward untechnical style. There is plenty of food for thought.' Contemporary Physics

Descrizione del libro

How do the ways in which we observe the world determine physical theories, and how can we obtain reliable predictions when observations are inherently uncertain? This book explores both these subtle issues and the relationship between mathematical theories and physical observations.
