      abstract = {This anthology is a unique compilation of scientific  contributions on the topic of measurement and  understanding, showing how terms such as number,  measurement, understanding, model, and pattern are used in  a wide variety of disciplines. Based on results and  experiences from their own projects, 23 researchers comment  on the potentials and limitations of their individual  methodological approaches as well as success factors of  interdisciplinary collaboration. In doing so, they fathom  the relative importance of quantification and empirical  evidence for each of their disciplines and examine how the  methodological approaches shape their existing models and  images. Their common goal is to understand the world;  however, their methods are highly diverse. The Content  Advantages and challenges of interdisciplinary work  Examples of interdisciplinary work to measure and  understand the world Communication of interdisciplinary  work Success factors for interdisciplinary collaboration  and conclusions Similarities and differences in the meaning  of number and measurement between disciplines The Target  groups Faculty and students in all disciplines who are  interested in interdisciplinary research The editors and  authors The editors and authors of the book are fellows in  the WIN Kolleg of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and  Humanities. The scientific focus of the individual authors  is broad across the spectrum of the sciences. This book is  a translation of an original German edition. The  translation was done with the help of artificial  intelligence (machine translation by the service  DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily  in terms of content, so that the book will read  stylistically differently from a conventional translation.},
