The Scientist as Problem Solver.
Abstract
Our exploration of the histories of scientific discoveries have made it eminently clear to us that scientists set themselves many different kinds of tasks. These include tasks of formulating significant scientific problems, of discovering interesting phenomena, of finding laws that are hidden in data (with and without the help of theories for guiding the search), or inventing new representations for phenomena and their accompanying theories, of inferring the logical consequences of theories and testing them.
