BUENO, O. F., Applying Mathematics. Immersion, Inference, Interpretation. Oxford University Press, 2018. 288p. Hardback. a valuable addition to the ongoing debates about the partial-structures approach in philosophy of physics, presenting a coherent account of the position of the authors, argued through a series of detailed and interesting case studies of advances in quantum physics that are so complex that no superficial account would serve the philosophical analyses sought after. . . . an elaborate exposition and defence of a promising, practice-sensitive approach to philosophy of physics. To the broader community of historians and philosophers of science, the book is also a valuable addition, perhaps mainly for its philosophically focused analyses of important historical events which build upon, but also contribute to, the existing specialized scholarship and the account for how mathematical surplus structure can function in theory development.
