Download or read book Apolog a de un matem tico written by Godfrey Harold Hardy and published by Capitán Swing Libros. This book was released on 2019-12-23 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: G.H. Hardy fue uno de los mejores matemáticos de este siglo, reconocido entre sus contemporáneos como un "matemático auténtico, el más puro entre los puros". Esta Apología, escrita emotivamente cuando su poder creativo matemático estaba ya en su ocaso, es un relato brillante y cautivador de las matemáticas consideradas como mucho más que una ciencia, que nos proporciona una de las mejores visiones de cómo discurre la mente de un matemático en pleno proceso de trabajo. De hecho, este libro está ampliamente considerado como una de las mejores penetraciones en la mente de un matemático profesional, escrita para profanos. En sus páginas, Hardy defiende el valor de la matemática teórica más abstracta y la belleza como valor indispensable de las buenas teorías matemáticas por encima de otros valores como su aplicabilidad o relevancia para los problemas de física. Cuando fue publicada en inglés por primera vez, Graham Greene la aclamó, junto con los cuadernos de notas de Henry James, como "la mejor narración de lo que representa el ser un artista creativo". El prólogo de C. P. Snow a la edición inglesa proporciona algunas claves de la vida de Hardy, incluyendo las anécdotas relativas a su colaboración con el matemático indio Ramanujan, sus aforismos y su pasión por el críquet. Este es un relato único de la fascinación por las matemáticas y de uno de sus exponentes más convincentes de los tiempos modernos.

This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «L'ethos, mémoire autobiographique de l’homme de science» est le thème traité dans ce sixième numéro de Mnemosyne o la costruzione del senso. On y trouvera des articles sur des autobiographies de scientifiques – surtout mathématiciens, physiciens, naturalistes –, qui utilisent d’habitude des codes de communication très sectoriels, iconographiques ou écrits, dans leur profession. Le mot 'science’ nous réfère d'emblée à un domaine où l’application rigoureuse d’une méthodologie vise à trouver des récurrences dont les applications s’avèrent démontrables et reproductibles. Dans un essai célèbre2, Roland Barthes distingue les ‘écrivants’ des ‘écrivains’: pour les premiers, le langage est un véhicule; pour les seconds, le style est un but en soi et pour soi. Dans tous les essais qui sont publiés ici, la distinction barthienne s’avère très faible: on percevra dans tous ces récits une rhétorique, la recherche d’une façon de transmettre, de communiquer l’intrication entre oeuvre et vie, entre leurs découvertes et leur vie privée. Le terme ‘beauté’ y est en outre très récurrent. Voir entre autres l’article d’Alessio Porretta sur A mathematician’s apology de G. H. Hardy, qui n'était pas par hasard l'ami de Charles P. Snow, auteur de The Two Cultures (1959).

Download or read book Uncle Petros and Goldbach s Conjecture written by Apostolos Doxiadis and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncle Petros is a family joke. An ageing recluse, he lives alone in a suburb of Athens, playing chess and tending to his garden. If you didn't know better, you'd surely think he was one of life's failures. But his young nephew suspects otherwise. For Uncle Petros, he discovers, was once a celebrated mathematician, brilliant and foolhardy enough to stake everything on solving a problem that had defied all attempts at proof for nearly three centuries - Goldbach's Conjecture. His quest brings him into contact with some of the century's greatest mathematicians, including the Indian prodigy Ramanujan and the young Alan Turing. But his struggle is lonely and single-minded, and by the end it has apparently destroyed his life. Until that is a final encounter with his nephew opens up to Petros, once more, the deep mysterious beauty of mathematics. Uncle Petros and Goldbach's Conjecture is an inspiring novel of intellectual adventure, proud genius, the exhilaration of pure mathematics - and the rivalry and antagonism which torment those who pursue impossible goals.

Download or read book Borelli s On the Movement of Animals On the Force of Percussion written by Giovanni Alfonso Borelli and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides an introduction to Borelli’s theory on the movement of animals and demonstrates the nature of the energy of percussion, its causes, properties and effects. Building on and moving away from the theory of mechanics as formulated by Aristotle and Galileo and countering objections expressed by Stephani degli Angeli among others, Borelli presents a completely mechanical account of the action of muscles and analyzes the way in which the center of gravity of the animal shifts in locomotion. Originally published in Italian in 1667, then translated into Latin in 1686, the text of this volume has now been translated into English, making the text accessible to a wide readership. This volume is the first of two volumes that contain the Introduction and physical-mathematical illustrations necessary to understand Giovanni Alfonso Borelli’s work On the Movement of Animals, the founding text of seventeenth century biomechanics. The second volume, entitled On The Natural Motions Resulting From Gravity, describes his theory and scientific experiments relating to the natural movements of bodies in a fluid environment.
