Knowledge and Computing: Computer Epistemology and Constructive Skepticism

A unique book about the relations of computation to its mathematical basics and application models. The evolutionary interpretation of these developments creates a novel understanding of computational design and control processes. The analysis focuses on the pitfalls of transformations from the verbal-physical problem formulation to the final execution activities via mathematical modeling and programming.

The book is enlightened with witty cartoons, and is based on a general under graduate level knowledge for anybody interested in the subject. An appropriate course material for introduction to philosophy of science, especially epistemology.
