Book Synopsis Wetenschap als roeping by : Geert Vanpaemel
Download or read book Wetenschap als roeping written by Geert Vanpaemel and published by Universitaire Pers Leuven. This book was released on 2017-03-22 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Van katholieke propaganda en maatschappelijk belang tot wetenschappelijk onderzoek Horen de natuurwetenschappen thuis aan een universiteit? Van bij haar oprichting in 1817 heeft de Leuvense faculteit voor wetenschappen moeten strijden om haar bestaan te rechtvaardigen. Daarbij moest ze steeds opnieuw het juiste evenwicht vinden tussen katholieke propaganda, maatschappelijk nut en zuivere wetenschap. Pas op het einde van de negentiende eeuw slaagde ze erin het roer in eigen handen te nemen. Wetenschappelijk onderzoek werd voortaan de norm. Sindsdien staat de faculteit vooraan in de verwetenschappelijking van de universiteit. Dit boek vertelt het verhaal van de Leuvense faculteit voor wetenschappen en haar steeds wisselende relatie tot universiteit en maatschappij.
Download or read book E = Einstein written by Donald Goldsmith and published by Sterling Publishing Company, Inc.. This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the history of physics, there has been no greater visionary than Albert Einstein. Through his revolutionary Theory of Relativity, he changed the way we look at the universe. But there is more to Einstein than just E=mc[superscript 2]. "In addition to contributing to many branches of physical science," relates Gerald Holton, "he also published widely on social and philosophical issues. He challenged current philosophies, both of science and of the state. He waged a constant fight for individual liberty and dignity against persecution and war." Einstein's ideas and views continue to play a role in contemporary science and in the popular imagination. Now two distinguished editors have compiled an enlightening collection of important and penetrating essays that shed light on many fascinating aspects of this great man. The esteemed contributors cover both important milestones and lesser known facts to present a thoughtful portrait. Historical black-and-white photographs and color illustrations complete this engaging anthology. Book jacket.

Book Synopsis Differential Geometry by : J. J. Stoker
Download or read book Differential Geometry written by J. J. Stoker and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-09-09 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic work is now available in an unabridged paperback edition. Stoker makes this fertile branch of mathematics accessible to the nonspecialist by the use of three different notations: vector algebra and calculus, tensor calculus, and the notation devised by Cartan, which employs invariant differential forms as elements in an algebra due to Grassman, combined with an operation called exterior differentiation. Assumed are a passing acquaintance with linear algebra and the basic elements of analysis.
Download or read book Collected Papers written by H. A. Lorentz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the present ninth volume we bring to a conclusion the edition of the Collected Papers of Professor H.A. Lorentz. It contains the evidence of his constant activity to promote the interest in science of a larger public, in particular of his country men, by addresses on se veraloccasions, by articles in magazines and newspapers, and other wise. In a certain way in this part of his work he belongs more partic ularly to his country, therefore we reproduce it in the original lang uage, with the exception of his inaugural address as Leiden professor early in I878, which readers abroad might be interested in. The sketch of Ludwig Boltzmann, in the German language, contains a most powerful and deep-going survey of the scientific work of this genius. In several places the character of the man's personality rather than that 0/ the scientist reveals itself, his attitude towards various problems and his personal views. In his first address he refers to the value of mathematics, we hear his dislike lor too vivid visual speculations and crude hypotheses, his taste lor the soberness of mathematical formulae, where he argues that the fundamental principles must needs escape further explanation. On page 54 we read what he said about determin ism, and on page I8I he expresses himself on the relation of matter and mind. His intimate feelings on space and time, and the aether, are touched upon on pages 240, 26I, 274.
Book Synopsis Einstein and the History of General Relativity by : Don Howard
Download or read book Einstein and the History of General Relativity written by Don Howard and published by Einstein Studies. This book was released on 1989 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based upon the proceedings of the First International Conference on the History of General Relativity, held at Boston University's Osgood Hill Conference Center, North Andover, Massachusetts, 8-11 May 1986, this volume brings together essays by twelve prominent historians and philosophers of science and physicists. The topics range from the development of general relativity (John Norton, John Stachel) and its early reception (Carlo Cattani, Michelangelo De Maria, Anne Kox), through attempts to understand the physical implications of the theory (Jean Eisenstaedt, Peter Havas) and to quantize it (Peter G. Bergmann), to elaborations of the theory into a unified theory of electromagnetism and gravitation (Vladimir P. Vizgin, Michel Biezunski), and considerations of its cosmological extensions (Pierre Kerszberg, George F.R. Ellis). This is the first volume to survey many of the most important questions in the history of general relativity, with many of the contributions drawing upon such original resources as the Einstein Archive. It is hoped that it will stimulate much-needed further research in this hitherto neglected area.
Book Synopsis De geschiedenis van het heelal in 21 sterren (en 3 bedriegers) by : Giles Sparrow
Download or read book De geschiedenis van het heelal in 21 sterren (en 3 bedriegers) written by Giles Sparrow and published by Nieuw Amsterdam. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Een bonbonnetje van een boek over ons universum en de sterrenkunde Wanneer je op een heldere nacht omhoog kijkt, kun je duizenden sterren aan de hemel zien staan. Elke ster kent een eigen verhaal dat ons uitleg geeft over het ogenschijnlijk oneindige universum. Aan de hand van 21 van deze sterren - plus 3 bedriegers die feitelijk gezien geen sterren zijn - beschrijft sterrenkundige Giles Sparrow de geschiedenis van het heelal, van het ontstaan tot de meest recente ontdekkingen en inzichten. Over zwarte gaten, supernova's, witte dwergsterren en rode superreuzen; over bekende sterren als de Poolster en de zon: wie nieuwsgierig is naar de wereld buiten onze aarde, gaat in dit boek mee op de ontdekkingstocht die generaties van wetenschappers eerder aflegden. Sparrow geeft bovendien aanwijzingen voor het sterrenkijken zelf. Doe zoals Albert Einstein al adviseerde: 'Kijk naar de sterren en leer van ze.' * onder redactie van wetenschapsjournalist Govert Schilling * hét cadeau voor elke sterrenliefhebber * aantrekkelijk laagdrempelige uitleg * mooi gebonden en geïllustreerd boek met fonkelende gouden sterren 'Dankzij goed gekozen voorbeelden, een feilloos taalgevoel en een mespuntje Britse humor is deze geschiedenis van ons heelal een heel plezierig en laagdrempelig boek dat uitpuilt van de interessante informatie.' - Govert Schilling, auteur van De olifant in het universum
Download or read book Wetenschap written by Brian Ridley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-08-27 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kan de wetenschap alles verklaren? Brian Ridley, zelf een natuurkundige, zoekt een antwoord op deze en andere vragen in deze boeiende studie naar zowel de reikwijdte als de grenzen van de wetenschap. Volgens Ridley ligt aan het wetenschappelijke denken een wereld van 'magische ideeën' ten grondslag, en hij betoogt dan ook dat wetenschap meer overeenkomst met magie heeft dan wij vaak aannemen. In het boek wordt ook ingegaan op de vaak veronachtzaamde relatie tussen natuurwetenschap en wiskunde. De auteur koppelt dit op elegante wijze aan een fascinerende bespreking van relativiteit en kwantumtheorie, aldus onderstrepend dat er binnen de wetenschap vele perspectieven mogelijk zijn. Wetenschap is boeiende lectuur voor iedereen die geïnteresseerd in de huidige stand van zaken in de wetenschap en de richting waarin zij zich ontwikkelt.

Book Synopsis The Scientific Correspondence of H.A. Lorentz by : A.J. Kox
Download or read book The Scientific Correspondence of H.A. Lorentz written by A.J. Kox and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 886 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second and final volume of Dutch physicist Hendrik Antoon Lorentz's scientific correspondence with Dutch colleagues, including Pieter Zeeman and Paul Ehrenfest. These 294 letters cover multiple subjects, ranging from pure mathematics to magneto-optics and wave mechanics. They reveal much about their author, including Lorentz's surprisingly active involvement in experimental matters in the first decades of his career. Letters are also devoted to general relativity, Lorentz's 1908 lecture on radiation theory, and his receipt of the Nobel Prize along with Zeeman in 1902. The letters are presented in their original language; Dutch originals are accompanied by English translations. A concise biography of Lorentz is also included.

Book Synopsis Special Relativity in General Frames by : Éric Gourgoulhon
Download or read book Special Relativity in General Frames written by Éric Gourgoulhon and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special relativity is the basis of many fields in modern physics: particle physics, quantum field theory, high-energy astrophysics, etc. This theory is presented here by adopting a four-dimensional point of view from the start. An outstanding feature of the book is that it doesn’t restrict itself to inertial frames but considers accelerated and rotating observers. It is thus possible to treat physical effects such as the Thomas precession or the Sagnac effect in a simple yet precise manner. In the final chapters, more advanced topics like tensorial fields in spacetime, exterior calculus and relativistic hydrodynamics are addressed. In the last, brief chapter the author gives a preview of gravity and shows where it becomes incompatible with Minkowsky spacetime. Well illustrated and enriched by many historical notes, this book also presents many applications of special relativity, ranging from particle physics (accelerators, particle collisions, quark-gluon plasma) to astrophysics (relativistic jets, active galactic nuclei), and including practical applications (Sagnac gyrometers, synchrotron radiation, GPS). In addition, the book provides some mathematical developments, such as the detailed analysis of the Lorentz group and its Lie algebra. The book is suitable for students in the third year of a physics degree or on a masters course, as well as researchers and any reader interested in relativity. Thanks to the geometric approach adopted, this book should also be beneficial for the study of general relativity. “A modern presentation of special relativity must put forward its essential structures, before illustrating them using concrete applications to specific dynamical problems. Such is the challenge (so successfully met!) of the beautiful book by Éric Gourgoulhon.” (excerpt from the Foreword by Thibault Damour)
