Softcover. Condition: Very Good+. Only slight wear to card covers; A bright, solid book, text unmarked; Trade PB; B&W Illustrations; 8.48 X 5.46 X 0.69 inches; 314 pages; Seeking Ultimates: An Intuitive Guide to Physics, Second Edition takes us on a journey that explores the limits of our scientific knowledge, emphasizing the gaps that are left. The book starts with everyday concepts such as temperature, and proceeds to energy, the Periodic Table, and then to more advanced ideas. The author examines the nature of time and entropy, chaos, quantum theory, cosmology, and some aspects of mathematics, confirming that our understanding is necessarily incomplete. Using references to historical figures in science as well as thought-provoking illustrations, Seeking Ultimates encourages you to consider your scientific knowledge in a new light. You will be able to reassess your belief in "truths" as presented (such as mathematical theorems) and to reconsider philosophical issues of theology and happiness. A comprehensive glossary explains in clear language the technical terms so that nonscientists can enjoy the text.…

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Este libro es el testimonio de un encuentro histórico celebrado a principios de noviembre de 1985 en el Teatro-Museo Dalí de Figueres. A partir de seis ponencias magistrales sobre el papel del azar en la ciencia, a cargo de otros tantos científicos en la vanguardia de las disciplinas fundamentales, el debate y la discusión de ideas alcanzó una temperatura que no se conseguía desde el congreso "Determinism and Freedom" celebrado en Nueva York en el año 1958. Tras casi treinta años de aceleración científica (procesos irreversibles, cosmología, teoría de las catástrofes, inteligencia artificial, evolución biológica. . . ) , una audiencia expectante y diversa de científicos, filósofos y artistas, asistió a un candente replanteamiento del problema del azar y la necesidad, sin duda atraídos por la garantía que ofrece la ciencia en la simplicidad de sus sistemas y problemas. Pero la ciencia también comparte muchas fronteras con otras formas de conocimiento dedicadas a sistemas más complejos, más próximos a la naturaleza humana. Y cuando los conceptos científicos experimentan una de sus frecuentes revoluciones conviene revisar y discutir su impacto en las disciplinas vecinas. Así ha ocurrido con el azar. ¿Es el azar un producto de nuestra ignorancia o un derecho intrínseco de la naturaleza? La convocatoria de Figueres removió investigaciones e ideologías, ciencias y creencias, resultados e intuiciones en torno al determinismo y la libertad. Fue, en verdad, un proceso al azar. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente. No aceptamos pedidos con destino a Ceuta y Melilla.…

Condition: Very Good. : Este libro, escrito por el físico Peter T. Landsberg, es una innovadora obra que combina un estilo matemático preciso con una fuerte intuición física. Dirigido a estudiantes avanzados de pregrado y posgrado, abarca un amplio espectro de aplicaciones, incluyendo temperaturas negativas y capacidades caloríficas, efectos relativistas generales y especiales, termodinámica de agujeros negros, colapso gravitacional, problemas de conversión de energía y eficiencias, incluyendo la teoría simple de la bomba de calor. Las ideas básicas y la formulación matemática de la termodinámica se presentan de manera moderna y clara con el método de Carathéodory. La mecánica estadística se basa en ideas de la teoría de la información, y los sistemas ideales más simples se cubren en estrecha relación con el tratamiento termodinámico. Los pasos matemáticos se muestran en detalle, y abundantes problemas incluyen soluciones trabajadas.
