Hardcover. New York, N.Y., Gotham, 1st, 2010, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 318 pages, b&w illustrations. Light edgewear to dust jacket. Overall, a tight clean copy. A highly entertaining exploration of the complicated science of quantum mechanics made easy to understand by way of pop culture. As a young science fiction fan, physicist James Kakalios marveled at the future predicted in the pulp magazines, comics, and films of the '50s and '60s. By 2010, he was sure we'd have flying cars and jetpacks. But what we ended up with-laptop computers, MRI machines, Blu-ray players, and dozens of other real-life marvels-are even more fantastic. In The Amazing Story of Quantum Mechanics, he explains why the development of quantum mechanics enabled our amazing present day.

Berkeley's Philosophy of Mathematics (Science and Its Conceptual Foundations Series) by: Jesseph, Douglas M.

Berkeley's Philosophy of Mathematics (Science and Its Conceptual Foundations Series)
by: Jesseph, Douglas M.

Softcover. Chicago, University of Chicago Press, 1st pbk., 1993, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 322 pages, b&w illustrations. In this first modern, critical assessment of the place of mathematics in Berkeley's philosophy and Berkeley's place in the history of mathematics, Douglas M. Jesseph provides a bold reinterpretation of Berkeley's work. Jesseph challenges the prevailing view that Berkeley's mathematical writings are peripheral to his philosophy and argues that mathematics is in fact central to his thought, developing out of his critique of abstraction. Jesseph's argument situates Berkeley's ideas within the larger historical and intellectual context of the Scientific Revolution.

Softcover. Milano, Franco Angeli, 1st, 2004, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 400 pages. Introductory texts in English, main text in Italian. Girolamo Cardano (1501-76) was one of the most original thinkers of his day, a polymath who applied his mind to philosophy, medicine, mathematics, mechanics and astrology and whose intellectual career led him to teach in Milan and Bologna. Today, Cardano is well known for his achievements in algebra. In his 1545 book Ars Magna he made the first systematic use of negative numbers in Europe, published (with attribution) the solutions of other mathematicians for cubic and quartic equations, and acknowledged the existence of imaginary numbers.

Einstein and the Quantum: The Quest of the Valiant Swabian by: Stone, A. Douglas

Einstein and the Quantum: The Quest of the Valiant Swabian
by: Stone, A. Douglas

Hardcover. Princeton NJ, Princeton University Press, 2nd pr., 2013, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 332 pages, b&w illustrations. Einstein and the Quantum reveals for the first time the full significance of Albert Einstein's contributions to quantum theory. Einstein famously rejected quantum mechanics, observing that God does not play dice. But, in fact, he thought more about the nature of atoms, molecules, and the emission and absorption of light-the core of what we now know as quantum theory-than he did about relativity. A compelling blend of physics, biography, and the history of science, Einstein and the Quantum shares the untold story of how Einstein-not Max Planck or Niels Bohr-was the driving force behind early quantum theory. It paints a vivid portrait of the iconic physicist as he grappled with the apparently contradictory nature of the atomic world, in which its invisible constituents defy the categories of classical physics, behaving simultaneously as both particle and wave. And it demonstrates how Einstein's later work on the emission and absorption of light, and on atomic gases, led directly to Erwin Schrodinger's breakthrough to the modern form of quantum mechanics. The book sheds light on why Einstein ultimately renounced his own brilliant work on quantum theory, due to his deep belief in science as something objective and eternal. Clean copy.

Feynman's Thesis: A New Approach to Quantum Theory by: Brown, Laurie M (Editor)

Feynman's Thesis: A New Approach to Quantum Theory
by: Brown, Laurie M (Editor)

Softcover. London, World Scientific Publishing, 1st, 2005, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 121 pages. Richard Feynman?s never previously published doctoral thesis formed the heart of much of his brilliant and profound work in theoretical physics. Entitled "The Principle of Least Action in Quantum Mechanics," its original motive was to quantize the classical action-at-a-distance electrodynamics. Because that theory adopted an overall space?time viewpoint, the classical Hamiltonian approach used in the conventional formulations of quantum theory could not be used, so Feynman turned to the Lagrangian function and the principle of least action as his points of departure. The result was the path integral approach, which satisfied ? and transcended ? its original motivation, and has enjoyed great success in renormalized quantum field theory, including the derivation of the ubiquitous Feynman diagrams for elementary particles. Path integrals have many other applications, including atomic, molecular, and nuclear scattering, statistical mechanics, quantum liquids and solids, Brownian motion, and noise theory. It also sheds new light on fundamental issues like the interpretation of quantum theory because of its new overall space?time viewpoint. Clean copy.

Hardcover. London, Allen Lane/Penguin Books, 1st UK, 2019, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 314 pages. This book is all about what happens when math goes wrong in the real world. Exploring and explaining a litany of near-misses and mishaps involving the internet, big data, elections, street signs, lotteries and the Roman empire, Matt Parker shows us the bizarre ways math trips us all up, and what this reveals about its essential place in our world. Mathematics doesn't have good 'people skills', but we would all be better off, he argues, if we saw it as a practical ally. By making math our friend, we can use it to our advantage and learn from its pitfalls.

Lewis Carroll in Numberland: His Fantastical Mathematical Logical Life by: Wilson, Robin

Lewis Carroll in Numberland: His Fantastical Mathematical Logical Life
by: Wilson, Robin

Hardcover. London, Allen Lane, 2008, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. The writings of Lewis Carroll have inspired and entertained generations of readers and have influenced the work of everyone from James Joyce to John Lennon. But the extraordinary imagination that created Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking Glass, was not limited simply to fantasy, logic and word play. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, who wrote under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, was for many years lecturer in mathematics at Christ Church, Oxford, and published works in the fields of geometry, logic and algebra. He also made significant contributions to subjects as varied as voting patterns and the design of tennis tournaments, and he created large numbers of imaginative recreational puzzles based on mathematical ideas. For the first time, Lewis Carroll in Numberland explores both his serious and his recreational work and places it in the context of his many other activities, mathematical and otherwise. Clean copy.

Revolutions in Mathematicsby: Donald Gillies (Ed.)

Revolutions in Mathematics
by: Donald Gillies (Ed.)

Softcover. Oxford UK, Clarendon Press, reprint, 2002, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 353 pages. Social revolutions--that is critical periods of decisive, qualitative change--are a commonly acknowledged historical fact. But can the idea of revolutionary upheaval be extended to the world of ideas and theoretical debate? The publication of Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions in 1962 led to an exciting discussion of revolutions in the natural sciences. A fascinating, but little known, off-shoot of this was a debate which began in the United States in the mid-1970's as to whether the concept of revolution could be applied to mathematics as well as science. Michael Grove declared that revolutions never occur in mathematics, while Joseph Dauben argued that there have been mathematical revolutions and gave some examples. This book is the first comprehensive examination of the question. It reprints the original papers of Grove, Dauben, and Mehrtens, together with additional chapters giving their current views. To this are added new contributions from nine further experts in the history of mathematics, who each discuss an important episode and consider whether it was a revolution. The whole question of mathematical revolutions is thus examined comprehensively and from a variety of perspectives. This thought-provoking volume will interest mathematicians, philosophers, and historians alike. Small bump to bottom corner, otherwise clean, very good.

The Arithmetic of Infinitesimals: John Wallis, 1656 (Sources and Studies in the History of Mathematics and Physical Sciences)by: Wallis John;/Stedall Jacqueline A. (I

The Arithmetic of Infinitesimals: John Wallis, 1656 (Sources and Studies in the History of Mathematics and Physical Sciences)
by: Wallis John;/Stedall Jacqueline A. (I

Hardcover. NY, Springer, 1st, 2004, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, glossy yellow boards, 192 pages. John Wallis (1616-1703) was the most influential English mathematician prior to Newton. He published his most famous work, Arithmetica Infinitorum, in Latin in 1656. This book studied the quadrature of curves and systematized the analysis of Descartes and Cavelieri. Upon publication, this text immediately became the standard book on the subject and was frequently referred to by subsequent writers. This will be the first English translation of this text ever to be published. To the modern reader, the Arithmetica Infinitorum reveals much that is of historical and mathematical interest, not least the mid seventeenth-century tension between classical geometry on the one hand, and arithmetic and algebra on the other. Newton was to take up Wallis's work and transform it into mathematics that has become part of the mainstream, but in Wallis's text we see what we think of as modern mathematics still struggling to emerge. It is this sense of watching new and significant ideas force their way slowly and sometimes painfully into existence that makes the Arithmetica Infinitorum such a relevant text even now for students and historians of mathematics alike. Name on front fly leaf, otherwise clean.

The Janus Faces of Genius: The Role of Alchemy in Newton's Thoughtby: Dobbs, Betty Jo Teeter

The Janus Faces of Genius: The Role of Alchemy in Newton's Thought
by: Dobbs, Betty Jo Teeter

Softcover. Cambridge UK, Cambridge University Press, 1st pbk., 2002, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 359 pages. In this major reevaluation of Isaac Newton's intellectual life, Betty Jo Teeter Dobbs shows how his pioneering work in mathematics, physics, and cosmology was intertwined with his study of alchemy. Professor Dobbs argues that to Newton those several intellectual pursuits were all ways of approaching Truth, and that Newton's primary goal was not the study of nature for its own sake but rather an attempt to establish a unified system that would have included both natural and divine principles. She also argues that Newton's methodology was much broader than modern scholars have previously supposed, and she traces the evolution of his thought on the intertwined problems of the microcosmic "vegetable spirit" of alchemy and the "cause" of the cosmic principle of gravitation.

The Origins of Order: Self-Organization and Selection in Evolution by: Kauffman, Stuart A.

The Origins of Order: Self-Organization and Selection in Evolution
by: Kauffman, Stuart A.

Softcover. NY, Oxford University Press, 1st pbk, 1993, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 709 pages. Stuart Kauffman has written a challenging book on the general problem of the origins of life and maintenance of order in complex biological systems. Kauffman contends that the basic concepts of Darwinian evolution by natural selection must be extended to accommodate new information from molecular biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Kauffman's hallmark is a shift to nonlinear paradigms for living systems. Kauffman argues that biological order is largely self-organized and spontaneous, and proposes to extend evolutionary theory beyond Darwin. His thesis requires three components: an understanding of spontaneous sources of order and self-organization; integration with natural selection, which in Kauffman's scheme molds biological order; and a consideration of adaptation. Clean copy.
