On the shoulder of giants
On the Shoulders of Giants investigates the relationship between the disciplines of physics and mathematics and shows how many of the most significant advances of 20th-century physics rely on mathematics developed, sometimes much earlier, with no…
On the shoulders of giants
World-renowned physicist and bestselling author Stephen Hawking presents a revolutionary look at the momentous discoveries that changed our perception of the world with this first-ever compilation of seven classic works on physics and astronomy. His…
Oneindigheid, een onbereikbaar ideaal
Het boek behandelt de verschillende orden van oneindigheid. In ongeveer chronologische volgorde wordt de ontwikkeling van de wiskunde gevolgd om uiteindelijk fascinerende zaken als Julia-fractals en de Mandelbrot-set te verklaren. 'Oneindigheid' gaat…
Out of This World: Colliding Universes, Branes, Strings, and Other Wild Ideas of Modern Physics
