Structure and Approximation in Physical Theories [E-Book] / edited by A. Hartkämper, H.-J. Schmidt.
The present volume contains 14 contributions presented at a colloquium on "Structure and Approximation in Physical Theories" held at Osnabruck in June 1980. The articles are presented in the revised form written after the colloquium and hence also take account of the results of the discuss...
