from Bookcast · host John Castle
George Pólya's Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning, Volume 2. It explores plausible reasoning, a type of inference used in mathematics and other fields. The book examines various patterns of plausible reasoning, including induction and analogy, and their relationship to probability. It uses numerous examples to illustrate these patterns, discussing their application in mathematical discovery and problem-solving, as well as in areas like legal reasoning and the natural sciences. The text also considers the limitations of plausible reasoning and contrasts it with demonstrative reasoning. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
