Frontiers of Mathematical Psychology
The papers in this volume were prepared after a preliminary symposium held at The University of Michigan in honor of Clyde Coombs. Following the symposium, each paper was extensively revised and in many instances completely rewritten to provide a timely and provocative survey of current works in mathematical psychology in the style of Clyde Coombs. All of the authors were students or colleagues who were closely influenced by Coombs and our intention was not to cover all approaches to the field, but rather to illustrate the continuing influence of Coombs's work and approach to the application of mathematics to basic psychological phenomena. If we are successful, it is because of his influence on the contributors. v Acknowledgements The preparation of this volume in memory of Clyde Coombs owes much to the many friends, students, and colleagues of Clyde Coombs who generously provided their support and encouragement. Funding was provided by Dean John D'Arms of the Horace H.

Science Outside the Laboratory
Social science experiments often cannot be analyzed under controlled conditions, as many take place outside a laboratory. None-the-less, measurement provides scientists with a sound basis for collecting and analyzing the results of field research. Science Outside the Laboratory examines the relationship between measurement theory and field investigations through the philosophy of science.
The Structuring and Analysis of Complex System Problems
Many complex systems consist of too many different types of elements and are influenced by too many factors to lend themselves readily to conceptualization through mathematical models, without introducing unrealistic oversimplifications. To structure such systems realiztically, an approach has been developed which begins with the classification of the elements affecting the system and the determination of the existence of certain types of relations between these elements. The approach which is known as the System Analysis and Integration Model (SAIM) has been applied to the analysis of a number of system problems concerning weapon system development, including command and control. Other problem areas to which the method has been applied are the analysis of postattack recovery, political conflicts, and large-scale organizations. The paper concludes with a discussion of the function of this general approach in the development of formal models which realistically represent complex system problems. (Author).
Biographical Memoirs
Biographic Memoirs: Volume 56 contains the biographies of deceased members of the National Academy of Sciences and bibliographies of their published works. Each biographical essay was written by a member of the Academy familiar with the professional career of the deceased. For historical and bibliographical purposes, these volumes are worth returning to time and again.
