guslI'm a few days away from handing in the final version of my thesis.
* Are you interested in Kuhn's description of normal science, and how scientific derivations are found? Would you like to how see reuse in scientific derivations is analogous to reuse in natural language and reuse in programming?
* Are you interested in how scientific derivations are justified when formalization fails? Have you always been unhappy with physicists for not being logical, and wondered how the heck their "derivations" are justified?
If you answered YES to the above, you will probably find my thesis interesting.
Here it is:
Automating Normal Science: Reusing Exemplars in Quantitative Explanations.
Warning: I'm still working on this document. The beginning is pretty smooth already, so you can get a good idea of what it's about... and the rest will probably be easily understandable, if sometimes unsteady, slightly disorganized and slightly incoherent reading.
The more comments I get the better. Please be frank. You can also email me if that will make you more frank. :-) I thank and appreciate all comments.
If there's anything that I should explain better, please email me! Having readers helps keep my motivation up. For what it's worth, you will be credited, unless you indicate that you'd rather be anonymous.
