Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2009 Description An account of the resource In the first book of this series Roger Sinnott probably has written the best description of the Jean Meeus’ work:<br /><br /> “Many celestial cycles are fleeting, destined to fade away after a few iterations as others overlap them or start up afresh. It is a fallacy to think that you can recreate planetary motions for many years by spinning back or fast-forwarding a planetarium projector. Only someone with a profound grasp of astronomical motions and relationships could have produced an authoritative book like this.<br /><br /> “Some readers will see here an antidote to the claims of astrology. Others will gain a deep insight into the misuse of statistics, especially in such areas as the sunspot cycle and its relation to weather on Earth. But all of us can acquire plenty of ammunition to settle bets at star parties, test computer programs, and amaze our friends (or an astronomy professor) with some little-known surprises about the sky and calendar.<br /><br /> “So why exactly does Christmas fall more often on a Tuesday than on a Monday? How many centuries will elapse before 10 successive Easters occur in April? What is the reason that total solar eclipses are more common for observers in the Northern Hemisphere than in the Southern? Turn thes pages in the first Mossels, and you’ll find out!” So will you find equally interesting in Morsels V.<br /><br /> Language A language of the resource eng https://bib.cozmix.cloud/files/original/f653c5deb89d6223f88fd6ef2f6ae142.jpg d428f0e574067c958d1a5bb231367538 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Mathematics at the meridian Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available CRC Press Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020 Description An account of the resource Greenwich has been a centre for scientific computing since the foundation of the Royal Observatory in 1675. Early Astronomers Royal gathered astronomical data with the purpose of enabling navigators to compute their longitude at sea.  Nevil Maskelyne in the 18th century   organised the work of computing tables for the Nautical Almanac, anticipating later methods used in safety-critical computing systems. The 19th century saw influential critiques of Charles Babbage’s mechanical calculating engines, and in the 20th century Leslie Comrie and others pioneered the automation of computation.  The arrival of the Royal Naval College in 1873 and the University of Greenwich in 1999 has brought more mathematicians and different kinds of mathematics to Greenwich.  In the 21st century computational mathematics has found many new applications. This book presents an account of the mathematicians who worked at Greenwich and their achievements.<br /> Features<br /> • A scholarly but accessible history of mathematics at Greenwich, from the seventeenth century to the present day, with each chapter written by an expert in the field<br /> • The book will appeal to astronomical and naval historians as well as historians of mathematics and scientific computing.

Maxwell was geen makkelijke man: zijn persoonlijk leven verliep zonder opvallende gebeurtenissen, maar zijn wetenschappelijk leven was des te opmerkelijker. Door zijn starre karakter beet hij zich vast in onderzoek dat tijdgenoten zonloos achtten. Zijn uitkomsten werden terzijde geschoven door de zittende wetenschappers van naam. Maxwell was ervan overtuigd dat de wereld logisch in elkaar zit en dat de natuurkrachten met elkaar in verband staan. Vanuit die overtuiging ontwikkelde hij een van de grote theorieën van de negentiende eeuw, die de fysica van de twintigste eeuw mogelijk maakte.</p> Language A language of the resource nothing https://bib.cozmix.cloud/files/original/3d7a878c78ef5b006b3507fb7177ef4b.png d236c5103aa6693891b6cadd77891137 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Throughout history, countless systems of measurement have been devised and then discarded as more precise and more logical systems have come along. While most of the world has adopted the metric system, the United States―with the curious exception of soda bottles―adheres to the imperial system, even though the country has officially been a metric nation since 1893, when Thomas Corwin Mendenhall declared metric prototypes the country's "fundamental standards of length and mass." The convenience of the base-ten metric system is undeniable, and so are the costs associated with not converting to metric. Yet, Americans still cling to inches, quarts, and ounces. Clearly, there is more to measurement than logic.<br /> In <em>Measure for Measure</em>, Alex Hebra offers a delightfully engaging and instructive history of measurement systems from ancient times to the present, exploring how and why such units as the stadium, the span, and the parsec first came about. Tracing civilization's various efforts to calculate distance, volume, mass, energy, and time, he explains how units of measurement are applied in such fields as mechanical engineering, physics, optics, and astronomy. In particular, Hebra focuses on the development of the metric system, arguing that even the United States will eventually join the worldwide metric community. Deeply informed and imaginatively told, <em>Measure for Measure</em> chronicles humanity's imperfect search for the perfect system with which to quantify reality.

Intent on making precise astronomical measurements at the Equator, they were poised to resolve one of mankind’s oldest mysteries: the true shape of the Earth.<br /><br /> A thrilling tale of adventure, political history, and scientific discovery, Measure of the Earth recounts the greatest scientific expedition of the Enlightenment through the eyes of the men who completed it—pioneers who overcame tremendous adversity to traverse the towering Andes Mountains in order to discern the Earth’s shape.  In the process they also opened the eyes of Europe to the richness of South America and paved the way for scientific cooperation on a global scale.

Title A name given to the resource Measuring the universe Description An account of the resource <p><span>More than 2,000 years ago, Eratosthenes, in Alexandria, used a stick, a hole in the ground, sunllght at summer solstice, and elementary geometry to measure the circumference of the Earth with surprising accuracy, long before anyone was able to circumnavigate it. Today, scientists are attempting to measure the entire universe and to determine its origin. Although the methods have changed, the quest to chart the horizons of space and time continues to be one of the great adventures of science.</span></p> <p><span class="a-text-italic">Measuring the Universe</span><span> is an eloquent chronicle of the men and women– from Aristarchus to Cassini, Sir Isaac Newton to Henrietta Leavitt and Stephen Hawking–who have gradually unlocked the mysteries of "how far" and in so doing have changed our ideas about the size and nature of the universe and our place in it. Kitty Ferguson reveals their methods to have been as inventive as their results were–and are–eye-opening. Advances such as Copernicus's revolutionary insights about the arrangement of the solar system, William Herschel's meticulous creation of the first three-dimensional map of the universe, and Edwin Hubble's astonishing discovery that the universe is expanding have by turns revolutionized our concept of the universe. Connecting centuries of breakthroughs with the political and cultural events surrounding them, Ferguson makes astronomy part of the sweep of history.</span></p> <p><span>To measure the seemingly immeasurable, scientists have always pushed the boundaries of the imagination–today, for example, facing the paradox of an ever-expanding universe that doesn't appear to expand </span><span class="a-text-italic">into</span><span> anything.
