Book Synopsis The Pythagorean World by : Jane McDonnell
Download or read book The Pythagorean World written by Jane McDonnell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores precisely how mathematics allows us to model and predict the behaviour of physical systems, to an amazing degree of accuracy. One of the oldest explanations for this is that, in some profound way, the structure of the world is mathematical. The ancient Pythagoreans stated that “everything is number”. However, while exploring the Pythagorean method, this book chooses to add a second principle of the universe: the mind. This work defends the proposition that mind and mathematical structure are the grounds of reality.

Book Synopsis The Great Equations: Breakthroughs in Science from Pythagoras to Heisenberg by : Robert P. Crease
Download or read book The Great Equations: Breakthroughs in Science from Pythagoras to Heisenberg written by Robert P. Crease and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2010-01-18 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Any reader who aspires to be scientifically literate will find this a good starting place." —Publishers Weekly While we may be familiar with some of science’s greatest equations, we may not know that each and every equation emerged not in "Eureka!" moments but in years of cultural developments and scientific knowledge. With vignettes full of humor, drama, and eccentricity, philosopher and science historian Robert P. Crease shares the stories behind ten of history’s greatest equations, from the "first equation," 1 + 1 = 2, which promises a rational, well-ordered world, to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, which reveals the limitations of human knowledge. For every equation, Crease provides a brief account of who discovered it, what dissatisfactions lay behind its discovery, and what the equation says about the nature of our world.
Book Synopsis Logos and Alogon by : Arkady Plotnitsky
Download or read book Logos and Alogon written by Arkady Plotnitsky and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-16 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a philosophical study of mathematics, pursued by considering and relating two aspects of mathematical thinking and practice, especially in modern mathematics, which, having emerged around 1800, consolidated around 1900 and extends to our own time, while also tracing both aspects to earlier periods, beginning with the ancient Greek mathematics. The first aspect is conceptual, which characterizes mathematics as the invention of and working with concepts, rather than only by its logical nature. The second, Pythagorean, aspect is grounded, first, in the interplay of geometry and algebra in modern mathematics, and secondly, in the epistemologically most radical form of modern mathematics, designated in this study as radical Pythagorean mathematics. This form of mathematics is defined by the role of that which beyond the limits of thought in mathematical thinking, or in ancient Greek terms, used in the book’s title, an alogon in the logos of mathematics. The outcome of this investigation is a new philosophical and historical understanding of the nature of modern mathematics and mathematics in general. The book is addressed to mathematicians, mathematical physicists, and philosophers and historians of mathematics, and graduate students in these fields.
Book Synopsis The Music of Pythagoras by : Kitty Ferguson
Download or read book The Music of Pythagoras written by Kitty Ferguson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-01-10 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enthralling story of Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans, whose insights transformed the ancient world and still inspire the realms of science, mathematics, philosophy, and the arts. "Pythagoras's influence on the ideas, and therefore on the destiny, of the human race was probably greater than that of any single man before or after him," wrote Arthur Koestler. Though most people know of him only for the famous Pythagorean Theorem (a2 +b2=c2), in fact the pillars of our scientific tradition-belief that the universe is rational, that there is unity to all things, and that numbers and mathematics are a powerful guide to truth about nature and the cosmos-hark back to the convictions of this legendary sixth-century B.C. scholar. Born around 570 B.C. on the cultured Aegean island of Samos, Pythagoras (according to ancient tales) studied with the sage Thales nearby at Miletus, and with priests and scribes in Egypt and Babylon. Eventually he founded his own school at Croton in southern Italy, where he and his followers began to unravel the surprising deep truths concealed behind such ordinary tasks as tuning a lyre. While considering why some string lengths produced beautiful sounds and others discordant ones, they uncovered the ratios of musical harmony, and recognized that hidden behind the confusion and complexity of nature are patterns and orderly relationships. They had surprised the Creator at his drafting board and had glimpsed the mind of God! Some of them later would also find something darker in numbers and nature: irrationality, a revelation so unsettling and subversive that it may have contributed to the destruction of their brotherhood.

Book excerpt: This is the story of Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans, whose insights transformed the ancient world and still inspire the realms of science, mathematics, philosophy and the arts. Einstein said that the most incredible thing about our universe was that it was comprehensible at all. As Kitty Ferguson explains, Pythagoras had much the same idea - but 2,500 years earlier. Though known by many only for his famous Theorem, in fact the pillars of our scientific tradition - belief that the universe is rational, that there is unity to all things, and that numbers and mathematics are a powerful guide to truth about nature and the cosmos - hark back to the convictions of this legendary scholar. Kitty Ferguson brilliantly evokes Pythagoras' ancient world of, showing how ideas spread in antiquity, and chronicles the incredible influence he and his followers have had on so many extraordinary people in the history of Western thought and science. 'Pythagoras' influence on the ideas, and therefore on the destiny, of the human race was probably greater than that of any single man before or after him' - Arthur Koestler.

Book Synopsis The Greatest Commandment by : David T. Steineker
Download or read book The Greatest Commandment written by David T. Steineker and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book is titled "The Greatest Commandment", since it is the most important point of the book. (John 5:41-42) If you Love the Lord your God with all your Heart, Mind, Soul, then why is there a second law? The second law really displays the same principles as the first. This is why the first commandment is the greatest or most clear description of what God calls us to do. God is a Creator, and the law is a representation of how he builds. How do you Love the Lord your God with all your Soul, Heart, and Mind? Master the second law and the first law will become clearer. The photo on the cover is symbolic to the laws by which we are governed, just like scriptures state that the law is the cornerstone of government. Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. (Ephesians 2:19-20) For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. (Isaiah 9:6)"--Back cover.
Book Synopsis The Demon and the Quantum by : Robert J. Scully
Download or read book The Demon and the Quantum written by Robert J. Scully and published by Wiley-VCH. This book was released on 2010-11-15 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eagerly awaited, the new edition of this successful text is now available in paperback. Maxwell's Demon is a character in an 1867 thought experiment by the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, meant to raise questions about the second law of thermodynamics. This book explains the connection between Maxwell's Demon and the role of the observer and quantum eraser, showing that information science, thermodynamics and quantum physics are closely related. We often hear phrases like quantum weirdness and the strange world of the quantum. A fact that is not so widely appreciated is that quantum mechanics can (and does) shed light on problems such as the Maxwell Demon Paradox of thermodynamics, the seemingly spiritual nature of information, and even, perhaps, new insights into the existence of Mind! The common denominator of all this is the fact that information is a real physical quantity. Information is more than something just in our mind; it is the essence of, and in many ways more general than the concept of entropy. By focusing on entropy, information, and observation, the authors bring a unique perspective to this subject, and offer insight into the strange ways of the quantum which will not only fascinate scientists but lay persons as well. Key features of the new paperback edition: Explains the connection between Maxwell's Demon and the role of the observer Takes a completely new approach to quantum mechanics and quantum information theory which is of interest to students from undergraduate level onwards as well as researchers and lay persons Written by two authors who approach the topic from two different angles and combine both the scholar's and the layperson's perspective in a most interesting and enjoyable fashion Treats central concepts such as entropy, information and intelligence in a comprehensible and entertaining way Includes fresh biographical material on key researchers like Planck, Schrödinger, and others is presented at the beginning of each chapter Mathematical formulae have been removed and replaced by a history of famous Erwin Schrödinger Praise for the previous edition: "The Demon and the Quantum is accessible to a large spectrum of readers of PHYSICS TODAY; it is worthwhile reading?"

Download or read book How Plato and Pythagoras Can Save Your Life written by Nicholas Kardaras and published by Conari Press. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: University professor, psychotherapist and recovering former nightclub owner Dr. Nicholas Kardaras presents a mind blowing, reality rocking, and life changing approach to Greek philosophy. Having once owned celebrity-studded NY nightclubs where he had mingled with the likes of JFK, Jr., Uma Thurman and Tom Cruise, Kardaras would emerge from that glamorous-yet-self-destructive world to discover the powerful and transformative teachings of his ancient ancestors. To his amazement, he learned that ancient Greek philosophy, contrary to popular misconceptions, was not a dry and academic pursuit, but a vibrant and holistic transformative practice. In How Plato and Pythagoras Can Save You’re your Life, Dr. Kardaras breathes new life into those ancient teachings as he incorporates some of the most cutting edge advances in the fields of quantum mechanics and consciousness research to validate the insights and wisdom of the ancient Greek sages. As he guides readers through an array of contemplative practices designed to help them live a more meaningful life, Kardaras warns the reader to be prepared because they just might also “catch a glimpse of that trippy realm called “Ultimate Reality”.

Book Synopsis Is God a Mathematician? by : Mario Livio
Download or read book Is God a Mathematician? written by Mario Livio and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-02-22 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author and astrophysicist Mario Livio examines the lives and theories of history’s greatest mathematicians to ask how—if mathematics is an abstract construction of the human mind—it can so perfectly explain the physical world. Nobel Laureate Eugene Wigner once wondered about “the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics” in the formulation of the laws of nature. Is God a Mathematician? investigates why mathematics is as powerful as it is. From ancient times to the present, scientists and philosophers have marveled at how such a seemingly abstract discipline could so perfectly explain the natural world. More than that—mathematics has often made predictions, for example, about subatomic particles or cosmic phenomena that were unknown at the time, but later were proven to be true. Is mathematics ultimately invented or discovered? If, as Einstein insisted, mathematics is “a product of human thought that is independent of experience,” how can it so accurately describe and even predict the world around us? Physicist and author Mario Livio brilliantly explores mathematical ideas from Pythagoras to the present day as he shows us how intriguing questions and ingenious answers have led to ever deeper insights into our world. This fascinating book will interest anyone curious about the human mind, the scientific world, and the relationship between them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Puramore is a science fiction novel that presents a utopian view of the future for mankind. The plot setting takes place between the latter part of the 20th century and the middle part of the 21st. The main character is a British Army general who is assigned by beings from another universe to bring about apotheosis for mankind after defeating its mortal and immortal enemy. * * * Mankind has only two choices after science and technology renders the species utterly obsolete and incapable of survival in the future. One choice compels humanity to submit body and soul to a sinister supernatural civilisation, whilst the other impels mankind to submit to a utopian bioengineering paradigm. The first choice results in extinction of the singularity of the human soul, whilst the second choice leaves it infinitely free and self-determined. General Sir George Smythe, Team Alpha, Nagual sorcerer and quantum computer battle Wingtip and spirit forces at his command to turn the tide of mankind´s survival dilemma decidedly in their favour. In order to prevail against their mortal and immortal foe, they must marshal all the genius and intellectual resources at their disposal to overcome Wingtip´s spiritual advantage. Time is of the essence since their foe is on the brink of delivering the final coup d´état to mankind. The Divine Blade, can be wielded only for the thirteenth and last time. And only a paragon of mankind is fit to wield the Puramore to defeat the mortal and immortal enemy and lead mankind to apotheosis. Failure is not an option for George Smythe, nor for mankind, whether or not he proves himself worthy to wield Puramore. *** If you enjoyed Dan Brown´s "The Lost Symbol", you´ll enjoy discovering the mystic secret of the Puramore talisman.
