The reader may well wonder why, apart from personal interest, one should commission and edit such a collection of articles. There are, of course, many reasons, but perhaps the three most relevant are: (i) a philosophicaJ interest in conceptual models; this is an interest shared by everyone who has ever puzzled over the relationship between thought and reality; (ii) a conviction, not unsupported by empirical evidence, that probabilistic modelling has an important contribution to make to scientific research; and finally (iii) a curiosity, historical in its nature, about the complex interplay between personal events and the development of a field of mathematical research, namely applied probability. Let me discuss each of these in turn. Philosophical Abstraction, the formation of concepts, and the construction of conceptual models present us with complex philosophical problems which date back to Democritus, Plato and Aristotle. We have all, at one time or another, wondered just how we think; are our thoughts, concepts and models of realit | 出版日期 | Book 1986 | 关键词 | Abstraction; Mathematica; conceptual model; construction; development; field; form; function; functional; mod | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4613-8631-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4613-8633-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4613-8631-5Series ISSN 0937-3195 | issn_series | 0937-3195 | copyright | Applied Probability Trust 1986 |
