- Definitions : We need precise definitions for ideas and for quantities. We often take common words and give them meanings that are more tightly constrained than in everyday speech. For instance, in the next chapter the word period will be given a precise mathematical meaning.
- Simplification : The real world is complicated. Science gains its power by simplification. For instance, everyday materials are complex compounds and mixtures of dozens of chemical elements, but the chemist uses pure chemicals to gain control of his experiment. In the same way, speech and music are complicated signals, but the acoustician uses signals that are no more complicated than necessary for the intended purpose.
- Idealization : The technique of idealization is like simplification in that it is a scientific response to a messy world. Idealization applies to the conceptual models that we use to explain some aspect of the world. An idealized model attempts to capture the essence of something, even though the model may not explain every detail. For instance, there is the concept that planets, like the Earth and Mars, orbit the Sun because of the Suns strong gravitational attraction. That is a powerful model of our solar system. But, it is not a perfect model because the planets attract one another too, and this is not included in the basic heliocentric model of orbital motion. Nevertheless, the model successfully abstracts the most important character of planetary motion from a complicated real-world situation. This model is a useful idealization.
