Vagueness in the exact sciences: impacts in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, engineering and computing
Boston: De Gruyter (2021)
Abstract
The book starts with the assumption that vagueness is a fundamental property of this world. From a philosophical account of vagueness via the presentation of alternative mathematics of vagueness, the subsequent chapters explore how vagueness manifests itself in the various exact sciences: physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, computer science, and engineering.
