Baised upon the Tarner Lectures given by Braithwaite in 1946, "Scientific Explanation" aims to examine the logical features common to all the sciences. Scientific advancement is by means of testing the conclusions of proffered hypotheses by observation and experiment. Braithwaite attempts to explain how the implications of this process may throw light upon seemingly mysterious features of scientific procedure and should resolve many of the fundamentals of scientific procedures, including the function of mathematics, probability, and "models" in science and the nature of theoretical concepts.
