Choice of mathematical models in geographic research considering alternatives.

Auteur :
EPPINK, T. W. A.

Description :
This Ph. D. thesis is a first attempt to explore the gap between mathematics and geography. The human geographer or social scientist usually speaks a different language than the mathematician. Concepts such as entropy, diffusion and allometry play a great role in this study. The idea that various alternatives should be compared before making a choice of a model forms a critical theme. - (AGD)
