Richard P. Feynman ist der unumstrittene Meister, wenn es darum geht, die Physik aufregend und interessant darzustellen: Mit seinen legendaren Vorlesungen ist es Feynman gelungen, die Physik in einer leicht verstandlichen Form zu zeigen, ohne dabei auf Genauigkeit zu verzichten. Band 1 stellt eine grundlegende Einfuhrung in alle Bereiche der Physik dar, wobei der besondere Schwerpunkt auf der Mechanik liegt.

This textbook offers an introduction to the philosophy of science. It helps undergraduate students from the natural, the human and social sciences to gain an understanding of what science is, how it has developed, what its core traits are, how to distinguish between science and pseudo-science and to discover what a scientific attitude is. It argues against the common assumption that there is fundamental difference between natural and human science, with natural science being concerned with testing hypotheses and discovering natural laws, and the aim of human and some social sciences being...

This book covers various quantitative methods for preprocessing and analyzing human EEG signals. It presents a holistic approach to quantitative EEG from its neurological basis to simultaneous EEG and fMRI studies. Equal emphasis is given to major mathematical and statistical theories and computational techniques that have been in use in qEEG and their applications on clinical and laboratory experimental EEG. The book is compact and self-contained, requiring no background in EEG processing or acquisition and quantitative techniques.

This book presents a multidisciplinary perspective on chance, with contributions from distinguished researchers in the areas of biology, cognitive neuroscience, economics, genetics, general history, law, linguistics, logic, mathematical physics, statistics, theology and philosophy. The individual chapters are bound together by a general introduction followed by an opening chapter that surveys 2500 years of linguistic, philosophical, and scientific reflections on chance, coincidence, fortune, randomness, luck and related concepts.

A main conclusion that can be drawn is that, even...

This book proposes a wide overview of the research and development of proton-conducting solid oxide materials. It is the first to approach the topic on proton-conducting ceramics and presents analysis studies from the fundamental to the most promising applied domains. It describes theoretical studies to enhance understanding of proton-transport mechanisms through materials and focuses on the main families of materials referred in the literature, highlighting their structure and their electrical and physicochemical properties. It lists the various routes of synthesis and processing methods...

In this lively look at a timeless idea, Ball provides the...

Six experiments to accompany Introductory Physics and ASPC

• The Pendulum Lab
• The Soul of Motion Lab
• The Hot Wheels Lab
• DC Circuits
• The Solubility Lab
• The Density Lab

Experiments are designed to teach students how to function in a laboratory, how to take measurements, how to calculate and account for error, how to use new equipment, and how to create a proper lab report on a computer from scratch.

From the intro: -

The activities in this book are the results of those years trying things...

AutoGenesism is a full Theory of Everything. It's the only full Theory of Everything that exists. This is what makes it singular among the many theories that have begun to pile up within the worlds of cosmology, physics and metaphysics in recent years.

It's not a unification theory addressing the profound schism between the way that macro and micro systems operate. It's not a theory focused on reducing the mathematics of material reality to an elegant (if necessarily cryptic) equation that balances one side of the "=" against the other with miraculous precision and without leaning on...

• Includes experts contributors who review the most important recent literature
• Contains a broad view, including examination of semiconductor nanowires

The book treats such diverse topics as the microscopic theory of critical phenomena, superfluid dynamics, quantum conductance, light scattering, transport processes, and dissipative structures, all in the framework of the foundations of statistical physics and thermodynamics. It shows the quantum origins of problems in classical...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique used in biomedical imaging and radiology to visualize internal structures of the body. Because MRI provides excellent contrast between different soft tissues, the technique is especially useful for diagnostic imaging of the brain, muscles, and heart.

In the past 20 years, MRI technology has improved significantly with the introduction of systems up to 7 Tesla (7 T) and with the development of numerous post-processing algorithms such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), functional MRI (fMRI), and spectroscopic imaging. From these...
