Die vorliegende Schrift behandelt die Kalenderlehre unter bewuBter Ausscheidung aller historischen Betrachtungen. Liegt darin einerseits e: ne Beschrankung, so glaubt der Ver fasser andererseits durch die Loslosung von der vielverschlungenen und daher mit mancherlei Ballast behafteten Entwickelungs geschichte des Kalenderwesens dessen mathematischen Kern sozusagen reinlicher herausschalen zu konnen, als es bei einer historischen Darstellung moglich ware. Die Schrift wendet sich an einen sehr allgemeinen Leser kreis. Sie mochte jedem Gebildeten zuganglich sein, der mathe matischen Oberlegungen einfachster Art Interesse entgegen bringt. Da und dort mag vieHeicht der Historiker bei chrono logischen Untersuchungen aus ihr Nutzen ziehen konnen. Eine besondere Freude ware es dem V erfasser, wenn zuweilen ein Feldgrauer nach dem Schriftchen griffe; weiB er doch aus eigener Erfahrung, wie es Zeiten gibt, in denen der Soldat nach irgendwelcher geistigen Anregung hungert - ganz ab gesehen davon, daB es im Felde von praktischem Interesse sein kann, nach kurzer Dberlegung zu wissen, welche Mondphase einem gegebenen Datum zukommt. Aber dariiber hinaus mochte das Biichlein auch dem an gehenden Mathematiker etwas zu sagen haben, und vor aHem dem Unterricht an hoheren Schulen dienen. Sollte die Schrift einem so verschiedenartigen Leserkreise gerecht werden, so war dies nur moglich durch eine besondere Behandlungsweise des Stoffes: die Darstellung zerfallt gewisser maBen in mehrere "Kreise," deren jeder in sich geschlossen und verstandlich ist. Der engste erfordert kaum mehr, als die Kennt nis der vier Grundrechnungsarten. Der nachste setzt schon Vorwort."

'This is a nicely produced book which should appeal to a wide readership.'The ObservatoryThis book is about the Dark Energy Survey, a cosmological experiment designed to investigate the physical nature of dark energy by measuring its effect on the expansion history of the universe and on the growth of large-scale structure. The survey saw first light in 2012, after a decade of planning, and completed observations in 2019. The collaboration designed and built a 570-megapixel camera and installed it on the four-metre Blanco telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in the Chilean Andes. The survey data yielded a three-dimensional map of over 300 million galaxies and a catalogue of thousands of supernovae. Analysis of the early data has confirmed remarkably accurately the model of cold dark matter and a cosmological constant. The survey has also offered new insights into galaxies, supernovae, stellar evolution, solar system objects and the nature of gravitational wave events.A project of this scale required the long-term commitment of hundreds of scientists from institutions all over the world. The chapters in the first three sections of the book were either written by these scientists or based on interviews with them. These chapters explain, for a non-specialist reader, the science analysis involved. They also describe how the project was conceived, and chronicle some of the many and diverse challenges involved in advancing our understanding of the universe. The final section is trans-disciplinary, including inputs from a philosopher, an anthropologist, visual artists and a poet. Scientific collaborations are human endeavours and the book aims to convey a sense of the wider context within which science comes about.This book is addressed to scientists, decision makers, social scientists and engineers, as well as to anyone with an interest in contemporary cosmology and astrophysics.Related Link(s)

R1,362 Discovery Miles 13 620 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In each generation, scientists must redefine their fields: abstracting, simplifying and distilling the previous standard topics to make room for new advances and methods. Sethna's book takes this step for statistical mechanics - a field rooted in physics and chemistry whose ideas and methods are now central to information theory, complexity, and modern biology. Aimed at advanced undergraduates and early graduate students in all of these fields, Sethna limits his main presentation to the topics that future mathematicians and biologists, as well as physicists and chemists, will find fascinating and central to their work. The amazing breadth of the field is reflected in the author's large supply of carefully crafted exercises, each an introduction to a whole field of study: everything from chaos through information theory to life at the end of the universe.
