"This fascinating book examines some of the characteristics of technological/engineering models that are likely to be unfamiliar to those who are interested primarily in the history and philosophy of science and mathematics, and which differentiate technological models from scie…
Creating reality -- Dimensional analysis and dimensional reasoning -- Models: what do engineers see in them? -- Metatools for information engineering design -- Early computational modelling: physical models, electrical analogies and analogue computers -- Expanding the concept of…
In exploring modelling in technological practice, this book examines technological/engineering models from new viewpoints including the role of language; communities of practice; reification; machines both current and historic and epistemological aspects.

Die praktische Anwendung der Finite Elemente Methode ist bei anspruchsvolleren Aufgaben an die Bedienung von FE-Softwaresystemen gebunden. Und es besteht die Notwendigkeit, reale Bauteile zu wirklichkeitsnahen FE-Modellen aufzubereiten. Die Modellbildung rückt also in den Mittel…
This title helps readers overcome three common difficulties: the proper choice of model, the absence of precise solutions, and the need to make suitable simplifying assumptions and approximations. This second edition incorporates the use of Mathematica in various applications.
