"Between the covers of a single book, Hugh Gauch has compiled the first synthesis of the practice and the philosophy of the scientific method. This book will enable scientists to become better scientists by offering them a deeper understanding of the underpinnings of the scientific method. For instance, parsimonious models often increase accuracy and thereby accelerate progress and increase returns on research investments. An examination of each of the principles noted earlier and a selective discussion of history and philosophy will demonstrate that the synergy of specialized techniques with general principles can enhance scientific productivity and experimental outcome. Once science is understood in its historical and philosophical context, scientists also can achieve a more accurate perspective on the rationality of the scientific approach and the role of science in society. Beginning with a discussion of today's "science wars" and science's presuppositions, the book then looks at deductive and inductive logic, probability, statistics, and parsimony and concludes with an examination of science's powers and limits and a look at science education. Topics relevant to a variety of disciplines are treated, and clarifying figures, case studies, and chapter summaries enhance the pedagogy." "This adeptly executed, comprehensive, yet pragmatic work yields a new synergy suitable for scientists and instructors as well as for graduate students and advanced undergraduates."--Jacket
