Download or read book Strengthening the Linkages Between the Sciences and the Mathematical Sciences written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-04-05 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over three hundred years ago, Galileo is reported to have said, "The laws of nature are written in the language of mathematics." Often mathematics and science go hand in hand, with one helping develop and improve the other. Discoveries in science, for example, open up new advances in statistics, computer science, operations research, and pure and applied mathematics which in turn enabled new practical technologies and advanced entirely new frontiers of science. Despite the interdependency that exists between these two disciplines, cooperation and collaboration between mathematical scientists and scientists have only occurred by chance. To encourage new collaboration between the mathematical sciences and other fields and to sustain present collaboration, the National Research Council (NRC) formed a committee representing a broad cross-section of scientists from academia, federal government laboratories, and industry. The goal of the committee was to examine the mechanisms for strengthening interdisciplinary research between mathematical sciences and the sciences, with a strong focus on suggesting the most effective mechanisms of collaboration. Strengthening the Linkages Between the Sciences and the Mathematical Sciences provides the findings and recommendations of the committee as well as case studies of cross-discipline collaboration, the workshop agenda, and federal agencies that provide funding for such collaboration.

This book is suitable for anyone who wants to write and publish their first paper using bibliometric analysis.
Download or read book Design research in software development Constructing and Linking Research Questions Objectives Methods and Outcomes UUM Press written by Norshuhada Shiratuddin and published by UUM Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design research is grounded on the iterative Triangulation Methodology (ITM), where theoretical, development and empirical research approaches are triangulated to accomplish the design research objectives. Constructing and associating research gaps, questions, objectives, methods and outcomes are imperative in a research. However, not linking all these and choosing the wrong and poorly designed methods are common especially among inexperienced researchers and students. Therefore, researchers should practice strategies in identifying the right methods to collect data or perform experiment that can meet the predefined objectives and determined research problems. This book is aimed at providing some of the likely strategies. It contains personalized strategies and examples that are useful for starting a design research in any field particularly in software and application development. The examples described are real studies that we conducted together with our research team members.

Download or read book Models Simulations and Representations written by Paul Humphreys and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although scientific models and simulations differ in numerous ways, they are similar in so far as they are posing essentially philosophical problems about the nature of representation. This collection is designed to bring together some of the best work on the nature of representation being done by both established senior philosophers of science and younger researchers. Most of the pieces, while appealing to existing traditions of scientific representation, explore new types of questions, such as: how understanding can be developed within computational science; how the format of representations matters for their use, be it for the purpose of research or education; how the concepts of emergence and supervenience can be further analyzed by taking into account computational science; or how the emphasis upon tractability--a particularly important issue in computational science--sheds new light on the philosophical analysis of scientific reasoning.

Download or read book Approximating Perfection written by Leonid P. Lebedev and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book for those who enjoy thinking about how and why Nature can be described using mathematical tools. Approximating Perfection considers the background behind mechanics as well as the mathematical ideas that play key roles in mechanical applications. Concentrating on the models of applied mechanics, the book engages the reader in the types of nuts-and-bolts considerations that are normally avoided in formal engineering courses: how and why models remain imperfect, and the factors that motivated their development. The opening chapter reviews and reconsiders the basics of calculus from a fully applied point of view; subsequent chapters explore selected topics from solid mechanics, hydrodynamics, and the natural sciences. Emphasis is placed on the logic that underlies modeling in mechanics and the many surprising parallels that exist between seemingly diverse areas. The mathematical demands on the reader are kept to a minimum, so the book will appeal to a wide technical audience.
Download or read book African Perspectives on Reshaping Rural Development written by Mafukata, Mavhungu Abel and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Development studies in developing regions such as Southern Africa rely heavily on materials developed by Europeans with a European context. European dominance in development studies emanates from the fact that the discipline was first developed by Europeans. Some argue that this has led to distortions in theory and practice of development in Southern Africa. This book wishes to begin Africa’s expedition to develop proper material to de-Westernize while Africanizing the context of the scholarship of rural development. African Perspectives on Reshaping Rural Development is an essential reference source that repositions the context of rural development studies from the Western-centric knowledge system into an African context in order to solve African-centered problems. Featuring research on topics such as food security, poverty reduction, and community engagement, this book is ideally designed for planners, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, government officials, academicians, and students seeking clarity on theory and practice of development in Africa.
