The Pythagorean Theorem: A 4,000-Year History
ISBN: 9780691148236 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. By any measure, the Pythagorean theorem is the most famous statement in all of mathematics. In this book, Eli Maor reveals the full story of this ubiquitous geometric theorem. Maor shows that the theorem, although attributed to Pythagoras, was known to the Babylonians more than a thousand years earlier. Pythagoras may have been the first to prove it, but his proof--if indeed he had one--is lost to us. The theorem itself, however, is central to almost every branch of science, pure or applied. Maor brings to life many of the characters that played a role in the development of the Pythagorean... By any measure, the Pythagorean theorem is the most famous statement in all of mathematics.

To Infinity and Beyond : A Cultural History of the Infinite
ISBN: 9780691025117 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Eli Maor examines the role of infinity in mathematics and geometry and its cultural impact on the arts and sciences. He evokes the profound intellectual impact the infinite has exercised on the human mind--from the "horror infiniti" of the Greeks to the works of M. C. Escher; from the ornamental designs of the Moslems, to the sage Giordano Bruno, whose belief in an infinite universe led to his death at the hands of the Inquisition. But above all, the book describes the mathematician's fascination with infinity--a fascination mingled with puzzlement. "Maor explores the idea of infinity in...

Venus in Transit
ISBN: 9780691115894 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In 2004, Venus crossed the sun's face for the first time since 1882. Some did not bother to step outside. Others planned for years, reserving tickets to see the transit in its entirety. But even this group of astronomers and experience seekers were attracted not by scientific purpose but by the event's beauty, rarity, and perhaps--after this book--history. For previous sky-watchers, though, transits afforded the only chance to determine the all-important astronomical unit: the mean distance between earth and sun. Eli Maor tells the intriguing tale of the five Venus transits... In 2004, Venus crossed the sun's face for the first time since 1882. Some did not bother to step outside.

Cannabinoids, both plant and endogenous compounds, exert a very large spectrum of physiological actions over almost every system tested to date. Most of these actions are associated with the neural and immune systems. However cardiovascular effects are also well established. Most of the effects are caused by the activation of two receptors, CB1 and CB2. Plant-based cannabinoids are isolated from Cannabis sativa herbs or produced as synthetic cannabinoid analogues. The most important classes of natural phytocannabinoids are Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinols and cannabidiols. Much work has been done on...

A 'synoptic' reading is implemented and discloses a reflective similarity at the heart of their ars poetica. The encounter reveals how both poets are reacting similarly to the...
