Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Computational methods have become the dominant technique in many areas of science. This book contains the very first systematic philosophical account of these new methods and their consequences for scientific method. This book will be of interest to philosophers of science and to anyone interested in the role played by computers in modern science.

Rated by buyers -
I can recommend this book to anyone interested in how computers are changing science. Although the book contains some technical material addressed to academic philosophers, most of the material is accessible to anyone interested in general issues of scientific method and overall the prose is exceptionally well written. There is one chapter on empiricism that ties together the use of instruments in science and the specifically computational material later in the book. Definitely recommended for anyone in computer science and scientific fields that use computers since this is the very first book by a philosopher to discuss these new methods.
