This book analyses the impact computerization has had on
contemporary science and explains the origins, technical nature and
epistemological consequences of the current decisive interplay
between technology and science: an intertwining of formalism,
computation, data acquisition, data and visualization and how these
factors have led to the spread of simulation models since the
1950s. Using historical, comparative and interpretative case
studies from a range of disciplines, with a particular emphasis on
the case of plant studies, the author shows how and why computers,
data treatment devices and programming languages have occasioned a
gradual but irresistible and massive shift from mathematical models
to computer simulations.
