When we use science to describe and understand the world around us, we are in essence grasping nature through symmetry. Emphasizing the concepts, this book leads the reader coherently and comprehensively into the fertile field of symmetry and its applications. Among the most important applications considered are the fundamental forces of nature and the Universe. Written by a renowned expert, this book will convince all interested readers of the importance of symmetry in science.

A theoretical physicist, Joe Rosen was for many years a member of the School of Physics and Astronomy of Tel Aviv University and also served as chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Central Arkansas. He has authored or edited eleven books, and many of his publications have dealt with various aspects of symmetry in physics and in science. Now semi-retired from academe, Joe Rosen is involved in research, writing, and physics teaching as adjunct professor at universities and colleges in the Washington DC area.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Ernest Rutherford (New Zealand-British physicist, 1871-1937), the 1908 Nobel Laureate who discovered the existence of atomic nuclei, is famously quoted as having said: 'Physics is the only real science. All the rest is butter y collecting.' Or something to that e ect. I like to include this quote in my introductory remarks at the rst class meetings of the physics courses I teach. I have seen that there are those whointerpret this as a put-down of amateurs (butter y collectors) in science. However, my own interp- tation of Rutherford's statement is that he is claiming that, except for physics, all of the rest of science is involved merely in collecting facts and classifying them (butter y collecting). It is physics, uniqueamong the sciences, that is attempting to nd explanations for the classi ed data. The periodic table of the chemical elements, originally proposed by DmitriIvanovichMendeleev(Russianchemist,1834-1907), presentsan example of this. Chemists toiled to discover the chemical elements and their properties and then classi ed the elements in the scheme that is expressed by the periodic table. Here was the chemists' butter y collecting. It took physicists to explaintheperiodictablebymeansof quantum theory. N° de réf. du vendeur 9783540759720
