Topic: Quantification and Measurement Speaker: Ken Hughes (a gradute in ECE) Place: Baker Hall336B. Time: Friday Feb 15, 12:00 -- 1:20pm One big difference between physical sciences and social sciences is that the former is usually more quantified and formalized than the latter. To what extend can we push the quantitative methodology in social sciences? With respect to quantification and measurement, what are the similarities between physical and social science? Aside, is the measurement problem like the uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics fundamental to all scientific inquiries? If you are interested, please come!
