520			_aThis book introduces budding scientists to the method of science. Science tries to find out the laws governing the material world and explain various natural events and phenomena following a definite methodology: proposing hypotheses and postulates and accepting or rejecting these based on evidence. This book contains a step-by-step exposition of the method. The book begins with philosophical issues like subjective versus objective thinking, materialism versus idealism, logical reasoning, causality etc. Then the methodological issues in proposing and testing hypotheses and postulates, making measurements, and conducting theoretical research are covered. The third part deals with the ethics of science and the art of scientific communication.
