Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Einstein said that the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. But was he right Can the quantum theory of fields and Einsteins general theory of relativity, the two most accurate and successful theories in all of physics, be united into a single quantum theory of gravity Can quantum and cosmos ever be combined In The Nature of Space and Time, two of the worlds most famous physicists - Stephen Hawking (A Brief History of Time) and Roger Penrose (The Road to Reality) - debate these questions. The authors outline how their positions have further diverged on a number of key issues, including the spatial geometry of the universe, inflationary versus cyclic theories of the cosmos, and the black-hole information-loss paradox. Though much progress has been made, Hawking and Penrose stress that physicists still have further to go in their quest for a quantum theory of gravity.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Diane Coyle traces the history of this artificial, abstract, complex, but exceedingly important statistic from its eighteenth- and nineteenth-century precursors through its invention in the 1940s and its postwar golden age, and then through the Great Crash up to today. The reader learns why this standard measure of the size of a countrys economy was invented, how it has changed over the decades, and what its strengths and weaknesses are. The book explains why even small changes in GDP can decide elections, influence major political decisions, and determine whether countries can keep borrowing or be thrown into recession. The book ends by making the case that GDP was a good measure for the twentieth century but is increasingly inappropriate for a twenty-first-century economy driven by innovation, services, and intangible goods.

Neuware - Commemorating the 150th anniversary of one of the most beloved classics of childrens literature, this illustrated edition presents Alice like youve never seen her before. In an informative and wide-ranging introduction, Carroll expert Mark Burstein discusses Dalís connections with Carroll, his treatment of the symbolic figure of Alice, and the mathematical nature of Wonderland. In addition, mathematician Thomas Banchoff reflects on the friendship he shared with Dalí and explores the mathematical undercurrents in Dalís work.
