Quantitative methods are introduced at the second level; they comprise: (a) quantitative design of experiments; (b) regrouping of experimental results; (c) evalua tion of results by means of mathematical or special statistical techniques. The last step implies the introduction of theoretical concepts, but we are not justified in speaking of theoretical science unless true theoretical con siderations-models or hypotheses-precede experiment, and this is then followed by an attempt to link results with theory so as to verify the theory. Biology at present seems to lie somewhere between the second and third level mentioned above, not yet having achieved the status of a theoretical science in all its branches. Thus, though the need for quantification and mathematical formulation is widely recognized, many biologists still believe that e.g. general systems theory is too abstract to be of use in handling concrete problems. | | 出版日期 | Conference proceedings 1968 | | 关键词 | CNS; adaptation; biology; cell; development; enzyme; enzymes; evolution; influence; life sciences; metabolism; | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-51065-6 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-540-04301-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-51065-6 | | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin · Heidelberg 1968 |
