Laws and Models: Science, Engineering, and Technology
Editorial Reviews
Review
An excellent purchase and one not likely to become dated for many years
-Choice, April 2000
…we see that the process of discovery is a process that proceeds on the margins of extant knowledge. We build models on data and collect data on models…and the most fundamental of these models we call laws. And such is the subject of this book.

Book Description
This encyclopedic work compiles more than 1,200 laws and models found in science and engineering literature. Written in a clear, accessible style, each entry includes a statement of the law or model, its date, keywords, a brief biography of the people involved in its formulation, sources of information, and cross-references. The author includes models not usually found in such compilations, such as dimensionless groups, models from more recently evolved areas of engineering, and models from education and business.Marketing Class Code: 4, 5, 7
