{"product_id":"on-meaningful-scientific-laws-jean-claude-falmagne-9783662460979","title":"On Meaningful Scientific Laws","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe authors describe systematic methods for uncovering scientific laws a priori, on the basis of intuition, or \"Gedanken Experiments\". Mathematical expressions of scientific laws are, by convention, constrained by the rule that their form must be invariant with changes of the units of their variables. This constraint makes it possible to narrow down the possible forms of the laws. It is closely related to, but different from, dimensional analysis. It is a mathematical book, largely based on solving functional equations. In fact, one chapter is an introduction to the theory of functional equations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Claude Falmagne, Christopher Doble\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3662460971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783662460979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Jean-Claude Falmagne","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44126026203391,"sku":"9783662460979","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_51358f5b-86a6-4bfd-ac18-719e7ce63c38.jpg?v=1687445877","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-meaningful-scientific-laws-jean-claude-falmagne-9783662460979","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
