Precision Cosmology
Cosmology seeks to characterise our Universe in terms of models based on well-understood and tested physics. Today we know our Universe with a precision that once would have been unthinkable. This book develops the entire mathematical, physical and…
Priemgetallen
Al tijdens onze eerste schooljaren komen we in aanraking met priemgetallen. Ondanks de mythe zijn ze in feite niet zo complex als ze lijken. Om te kunnen begrijpen wat priemgetallen zijn, hoeven we alleen maar een getallensysteem te kennen en de…
Priemwoestijnen
De eenentwintigste eeuw is nog jong, maar heeft al een indrukwekkende lijst aan wiskundige doorbraken opgeleverd. De wiskundige Terence Tao bewees onder meer een stelling over de lengte van priemwoestijnen: opeenvolgende getallen zonder priemen…
Prime obsession
The definitive story of the Riemann Hypothesis, a fascinating and epic mathematical mystery that continues to challenge the world.
In 1859, Bernhard Riemann, a little-known thirty-two year old mathematician, made a hypothesis while presenting a paper…
Principles of Cosmology and Gravitation
General relativity and quantum mechanics have become the two central pillars of theoretical physics. Moreover, general relativity has important applications in astrophysics and high-energy particle physics. Covering the fundamentals of the subject,…

Prisons of Light
In this jargon-free review of one of the most fascinating topics in modern science, acclaimed science writer Kitty Ferguson examines the discovery of black holes, their nature, and what they can teach us about the mysteries of the universe. In search…
Problems in quantum mechanics
Problem solving in physics is not simply a test of understanding the subject, but is an integral part of learning it. In this book, the basic ideas and methods of quantum mechanics are illustrated by means of a carefully chosen set of problems,…
