Mathematics and Computation provides a broad, conceptual overview of computational complexity theory—the mathematical study of efficient computation. With important practical applications to computer science and industry, computational complexity theory has evolved into a highly interdisciplinary field, with strong links to most mathematical areas and to a growing number of sci...(展开全部)

This systematic investigation of computation and mental phenomena by a noted psychologist and computer scientist argues that cognition is a form of computation, that the semantic contents of mental states are encoded in the same general way as computer representations are encoded. It is a rich and sustained investigation of the assumptions underlying the directions cognitive sc...(展开全部)

When mathematician Hermann Weyl decided to write a book on philosophy, he faced what he referred to as 'conflicts of conscience' - the objective nature of science, he felt, did not mesh easily with the incredulous, uncertain nature of philosophy. Yet the two disciplines were already intertwined. In "Philosophy of Mathematics and Natural Science", Weyl examines how advances in p...(展开全部)

E.T.贝尔（Eric Temple Bell 1883—1960），美国著名数学家、数学史家，美国国家科学院院士，哥伦比亚大学数学博士。先后在芝加哥大学、华盛顿大学和加州理工学院任教。曾任美国数学学会（AMS）主席、美国数学协会（MAA）副主席。以他的名字命名的“贝尔数”与“贝尔多项式”是其主要的数学贡献，曾获美国数学学会的博歇奖（Bôcher Memorial Prize）。贝尔著述颇丰，除本书外，《数学的历程》《数学大师》也很受读者欢迎。

Can Science and Technology Save China? assesses the intimate connections between science and society in China, offering an in-depth look at how an array of sciences and technologies are being made, how they are interfacing with society, and with what effects. Focusing on critical domains of daily life, the chapters explore how scientists, technicians, surgeons, therapists, and ...(展开全部)

Now available in paperback, the "Handbook of Science and Technology Studies" is the most authoritative and extensive resource in the field. This volume represents the social constructivist turn of the field, which made a major impact during the 1970s and 1980s. The diverse papers included here highlight the role of ethnography in STS. Expertly edited with contributions from int...(展开全部)

This book is offers a broad, comparative survey of a booming field within the history of science: the history, generation, use, and function of images in scientific practice. It explores every aspect of visuality in science, arguing for the concept of visual domains. What makes a good scientific image? What cultural baggage is essential to it? Is science indeed defined by its p...(展开全部)
