| Question : |
|
What are 'Empirical Problems' ? |
Answer : |
|
There are problems that are not necessarily supported by any established theory of laws but are based upon immediate experience
rather than logical conclusions. Such problems are known as Empirical Problems. |
| To give an example,
if you come across a problem which says with the ten digits,
9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, express numbers whose sum is unity:
each digit being used only once , and the use of the usual notations
for fractions being allowed with the same ten digits express
numbers whose sum is 100. |
|
There is no limit to the making of such questions, but their solutions involve little or no mathematical skill. These are
considered Empirical Problems. |
