Past and Future of Mathematical Geology

  • Received Date: 02 Feb 2003
  • Accepted Date: 20 Mar 2003
  • This is a brief review of alternative methods of problem-solving in geoscience with emphasis on the role of mathematical geology. It is desirable to maintain a clear-cut distinction between reliable facts which can be stored in data banks and concepts that can be incorporated in the specifications of statistical models designed for specific purposes. If possible, subjective probabilities should be incorporated in hypotheses that are to be tested by statistical inference. KEY WORDS: mathematical geology, history of geoscience, use of computers, conceptual models, probability, statistics.
