Vagueness in the Exact Sciences: Impacts in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, Engineering and Computing

Vagueness in the Exact Sciences : Impacts in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, Engineering and Computing

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.
