Understanding Uncertainty / Maurice Lemaire -- Modeling Uncertainty / Maurice Lemaire -- Decision Support Under Uncertainty / Maurice Lemaire. Science is a quest for certainty, but lack of certainty is the driving force behind all of its endeavors. This book, specifically, examines the uncertainty of technological and industrial science. Uncertainty and Mechanics studies the concepts of mechanical design in an uncertain setting and explains engineering techniques for inventing cost-effective products. Though it references practical applications, this is a book about ideas and potential advances in mechanical science. Online resource; title from PDF title page (Wiley, viewed June 4, 2014).
