It provides an introduction to mathematical modeling through the use of selected examples from the health sciences. Where appropriate, computer techniques are discussed and illustrated with examples drawn from studies by the authors and their colleagues. An introductory chapter discusses mathematical models and their roles in biomedical research.

Appendix: Overcoming the Problem of Epistemic Relativism -- BibliographyThis book is focused on a problem that has aroused the most controversy in recent epistemological debate, which is whether the truth can or cannot be the fundamental epistemic goal. Traditional epistemology has presupposed the centrality of truth without giving a deeper analysis. To epistemic value pluralists, the claim that truth is the fundamental value seems unjustified. Their central judgement is that we can be in a situation where we do not attain truth but something else that is also epistemically valuable. In contrast, epistemic value monists are committed to the view that one can only Epistemische Studien (Frankfurt am Main, Germany) ;Bd. 17.TruthPhilosophyKnowledge, Theory ofGoal (Philosophy)TruthPhilosophy.Knowledge, Theory of.Goal (Philosophy)100Hess Markus Patrick1499422MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779734203321Is truth the primary epistemic goal3725440UNINA
