His talents are vividly revealed in this exciting and penetrating explanation of how the central laws of physical science evolved — from Pythagoras' discovery of frequency ratios in the 6th century B.C. to today's research on elementary particles.\u003cbr\u003eUnlike many books on physics which focus entirely on fact and theory with little or no historic detail, the present work incorporates fascinating personal and biographical data about the great physicists of past and present. Thus Dr. Gamow discusses on an equal basis the trail of Galileo and the basic laws of mechanics which he discovered, or gives his personal recollections about Niels Bohr along with detailed discussion of Bohr's atomic model. You'll also find revealing glimpses of Newton, Huygens, Heisenberg, Pauli, Einstein, and many other immortals of science.\u003cbr\u003eEach chapter is centered around a single great figure, or at most two, with other physicists of the era and their contributions forming a background. Major topics include the dawn of physics, the Dark Ages and the Renaissance, Newtonian physics, heat as energy, electricity, the relativistic revolution, quantum theory, and the atomic nucleus and elementary particles.\u003cbr\u003eAs Dr. Gamow points out in the Preface, the aim of this book is to give the reader the feeling of what physics \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e, and what kind of people physicists \u003ci\u003eare\u003c\/i\u003e. This delightfully informal approach, combined with the book's clear, easy-to-follow explanations, will especially appeal to young readers but will stimulate and entertain science enthusiasts of all ages. 1961 edition.\u003cbr\u003e\"The whole thing is a tour de force covering all the important landmarks.\" — \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003eReprint of \u003ci\u003eThe Biography of Physics\u003c\/i\u003e, Harper \u0026amp; Row, New York, 1961.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"George Gamow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131621458241,"sku":"9780486257679","price":17.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/3262\/5985\/products\/9780486257679_a1338413-eaa7-4778-8896-9ee90a116888.jpg?v=1698420914"},{"product_id":"9780486235424","title":"The Geometry of Art and Life","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eIs everything chaos and chance, or is there order, harmony, and proportion in human life, nature, and the finest art? Can one find a natural aesthetic that corresponds to a universal order? If so, what importance can it have for the scientist, artist, or layman? What is the \"true\" significance of the triangle, rectangle, spiral, and other geometric shapes? These are but a few of the questions that Professor Matila Ghyka deals with in this fascinating book. The author believes that there are such things as \"The Mathematics of Life\" and \"The Mathematics of Art,\" and that the two coincide. Using simple mathematical formulas, most as basic as Pythagoras' theorem and requiring only a very limited knowledge of mathematics, Professor Ghyka shows the fascinating relationships between geometry, aesthetics, nature, and the human body.\u003cbr\u003eBeginning with ideas from Plato, Pythagoras, Archimedes, Ockham, Kepler, and others, the author explores the outlines of an abstract science of space, which includes a theory of proportions, an examination of \"the golden section,\" a study of regular and semi-regular polyhedral, and the interlinking of these various shapes and forms. He then traces the transmission of this spatial science through the Pythagorean tradition and neo-Pythagorism, Greek, and Gothic canons of proportion, the Kabbala, Masonic traditions and symbols, and modern applications in architecture, painting, and decorative art. When we judge a work of art, according to his formulation, we are making it conform to a pattern whose outline is laid down in simple geometrical figures; and it is the analysis of these figures both in art and nature that forms the core of Professor Ghyka's book. He also shows this geometry at work in living organisms. The ample illustrations and figures give concrete examples of the author's analysis: the Great Pyramid and tomb of Rameses IV, the Parthenon, Renaissance paintings and architecture, the work of Seurat, Le Corbusier, and flowers, shells, marine life, the human face, and much more. \u003cbr\u003eFor the philosopher, scientist, archaeologist, art historian, biologist, poet, and artist as well as the general reader who wants to understand more about the fascinating properties of numbers and geometry, and their relationship to art and life, this is a thought-provoking book. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eReprint of the 1946 edition.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Matila Ghyka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159412949313,"sku":"9780486235424","price":9.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/3262\/5985\/products\/9780486235424.jpg?v=1710206626"},{"product_id":"9780486414621","title":"Wave Mechanics","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the 1950s, the distinguished theoretical physicist Wolfgang Pauli delivered a landmark series of lectures at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.

Dividing her book into three parts — The Sorcerer's Apprentice, The Creative Role of Form, and The Self-Critique of Pure Reason — Peter develops her material in twenty-two chapters that sound almost too appealing to be true: playing with fingers, coloring the grey number series, we catch infinity again, the line is filled up, some workshop secrets, the building rocks, and so on.\u003cbr\u003eYet, within this structure, the author discusses many important mathematical concepts with complete accuracy: number systems, arithmetical progression, diagonals of convex polygons, the theory of combinations, the law of prime numbers, equations, negative numbers, vectors, operations with fractions, infinite series, irrational numbers, Pythagoras' Theorem, logarithm tables, analytical geometry, the line at infinity, indefinite and definite integrals, the squaring of the circle, transcendental numbers, the theory of groups, the theory of sets, metamathematics, and much more. Numerous illustrations and examples make all the material readily comprehensible.\u003cbr\u003eWithout being technical or superficial, the author writes with complete clarity and much originality on the whole range of topics from counting to mathematical logic. Using little algebra and no mathematical formulas, she has written an unusual book that will interest even mathematicians and teachers. Beginning mathematics students and people in the humanities and other fields will find the book particularly outstanding for their purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eReprint of \u003ci\u003ePlaying with Infinity: Mathematics for Everyman\u003c\/i\u003e, 1961.\u003c\/div\u003e logic;infinity;number systems;arithmetical progression;diagonals;convex polygons;theory of combinations;prime numbers;equations;fibonacci sequence;math in nature;practical math;negative numbers;vectors;fractions;infinite series;irrational numbers;logarithm;analytical geometry;integrals;transcendental numbers;squaring of the circle;theory of groups;sets;popular math;fun math;mathematics;math for non math;beginning math;homeschool;curriculum;nonfiction;reference","brand":"Rózsa Péter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47181315932481,"sku":"9780486232652","price":9.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/3262\/5985\/products\/9780486232652.jpg?v=1710204997"},{"product_id":"9780486817354","title":"Digital and Kalman Filtering","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eThis text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students provides a concise introduction to increasingly important topics in electrical engineering: digital filtering, filter design, and applications in the form of the Kalman and Wiener filters.
