Description

Book Synopsis
Digital computer simulation helps study phenomena of great complexity, but how much do we know about the limits and possibilities of this new scientific practice? How do simulations compare to traditional experiments? And are they reliable? The author seeks to answer these questions.

Trade Review
"This is the first book-length study of the role of simulation models from the standpoint of philosophy of science. It will be required reading for all who follow." - Ronald Giere, University of Minnesota"
