Applied Longitudinal Data Analysis: Modeling Change and Event Occurrence
ISBN: 9780195152968 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 672 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Change is constant in everyday life. Infants crawl and then walk, children learn to read and write, teenagers mature in myriad ways, the elderly become frail and forgetful. Beyond these natural processes and events, external forces and interventions instigate and disrupt change: test scores may rise after a coaching course, drug abusers may remain abstinent after residential treatment. By charting changes over time and investigating whether and when events occur, researchers reveal the temporal rhythms of our lives. Applied Longitudinal Data Analysis is a much-needed professional...

The Indispensability of Mathematics
ISBN: 9780195166613 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Quine-Putnam indispensability argument in the philosophy of mathematics urges us to place mathematical entities on the same ontological footing as other theoretical entities essential to our best scientific theories. Recently, the argument has come under serious scrutiny, with many influential philosophers unconvinced of its cogency. This book not only outlines the indispensability argument in considerable detail but also defends it against various challenges.

Tracking Reason
ISBN: 9780195187137 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When ordinary people--mathematicians among them--take something to follow (deductively) from something else, they are exposing the backbone of our self-ascribed ability to reason. Jody Azzouni investigates the connection between that ordinary notion of consequence and the formal analogues invented by logicians. One claim of the book is that, despite our apparent intuitive grasp of consequence, we do not introspect rules by which we reason, nor do we grasp the scope and range of the domain, as it were, of our reasoning. This point is illustrated with a close analysis of a paradigmatic case of...

Playing for Real: A Text on Game Theory
ISBN: 9780195300574 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 656 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Ken Binmore's previous game theory textbook, Fun and Games (D.C. Heath, 1991), carved out a significant niche in the advanced undergraduate market; it was intellectually serious and more up-to-date than its competitors, but also accessibly written. Its central thesis was that game theory allows us to understand many kinds of interactions between people, a point that Binmore amply demonstrated through a rich range of examples and applications. This replacement for the now out-of-date 1991 textbook retains the entertaining examples, but changes the organization to match how game theory...

Thinking about Acting: Logical Foundations for Rational Decision Making
ISBN: 9780195304817 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. John Pollock aims to construct a theory of rational decision making for real agents--not ideal agents. Real agents have limited cognitive powers, but traditional theories of rationality have applied only to idealized agents that lack such constraints. Pollock argues that theories of ideal rationality are largely irrelevant to the decision making of real agents. Thinking about Acting aims to provide a theory of "real rationality."

Naturalism in Mathematics
ISBN: 9780198235736 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Naturalism in Mathematics investigates how the most fundamental assumptions of mathematics can be justified. One prevalent philosophical approach to the problem--realism--is examined and rejected in favor of another approach--naturalism. Penelope Maddy defines this naturalism, explains the motivation for it, and shows how it can be successfully applied in set theory. Her clear, original treatment of this fundamental issue is informed by current work in both philosophy and mathematics, and will be accessible and enlightening to readers from both disciplines.

Mathematics as a Science of Patterns
ISBN: 9780198236085 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book expounds a system of ideas about the nature of mathematics which Michael Resnik has been elaborating for a number of years. In calling mathematics a science he implies that it has a factual subject-matter and that mathematical knowledge is on a par with other scientific knowledge; in calling it a science of patterns he expresses his commitment to a structuralist philosophy of mathematics. He links this to a defense of realism about the metaphysics of mathematics--the view that mathematics is about things that really exist.

Constructibility and Mathematical Existence
ISBN: 9780198239758 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Chihara here develops a mathematical system in which there are no existence assertions but only assertions of the constructibility of certain sorts of things. He utilizes this system in the analysis of the nature of mathematics, and discusses many recent works in the philosophy of mathematics from the viewpoint of the constructibility theory developed. This innovative analysis will appeal to mathematicians and philosophers of logic, mathematics, and science.

Mathematics Without Numbers: Towards a Modal-Structural Interpretation
ISBN: 9780198240341 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Hellman here presents a detailed interpretation of mathematics as the investigation of "structural possibilities," as opposed to absolute, Platonic objects. After treating the natural numbers and analysis, he extends the approach to set theory, where he demonstrates how to dispense with a fixed universe of sets. Finally, he addresses problems of application to the physical world.

Reality of Numbers: A Physicalist's Philosophy of Mathematics
ISBN: 9780198249573 / Angielski / Twarda / 1988 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Challenging the myth that mathematical objects can be defined into existence, Bigelow here employs Armstrong's metaphysical materialism to cast new light on mathematics. He identifies natural, real, and imaginary numbers and sets with specified physical properties and relations and, by so doing, draws mathematics back from its sterile, abstract exile into the midst of the physical world.
