Download or read book Optics Astronomy and Logic written by A. I. Sabra and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1994 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These articles discuss the appropriation of Greek science by scholars in the world of medieval Islam. After presenting the historiography of this process, the volume focuses on Ibn al-Haytham, one of the most influential figures of the 11th century, and on his contribution to the science of optics and the psychology of vision. The work then analyzes how Greek thought was developed in the Islamic world, based on studies of Euclid's geomotry and critiques of Ptolemaic astronomy. Finally, some articles consider the history of logic - Aristotelian syllogism and Avicenna's views on the subject matter of logic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Wallis (1616-1703) was the most influential English mathematician prior to Newton. He published his most famous work, Arithmetica Infinitorum, in Latin in 1656. This book studied the quadrature of curves and systematised the analysis of Descartes and Cavelieri. Upon publication, this text immediately became the standard book on the subject and was frequently referred to by subsequent writers. This will be the first English translation of this text ever to be published.

Download or read book The Numerical Universe written by Anthony Morris and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NB THIS IS THE BLACK & WHITE VERSION.The Numerical Universe sets out to show that there exists a primordial, numerical, geometric and musical structure to the Universe. The proposal is simply that there is only order in the universe; that there is no chaos and that we are not all here by virtue of some incredible stroke of luck. The universe is instead shown to be the effect produced by a perfectly balanced, always in equilibrium, numerical order, inherent to the decimal system of numbers 0 to 9.The book starts with a look at the numerical structure and how the decimal system of numbers work in specific pairs and groups, making use of modular arithmetic - the reader won't need any formal mathematical training to follow the arguments and analysis. In the second section there is analysis of the group of 20 amino acids which are common to all life and which reveal the canonical, numerical, geometric and ultimately musical biological template that pervades the created Universe.The final section of the book demonstrates how the Integer Partition Table of Numbers might well be the numerical algorithm used to create and structure the whole of the universe. Numbers are seen to organise themselves in such a way that they unfold as an elegant geometric integration to produce a holographic universe.Hard evidence of this ancient knowledge may be found in analysis of the Great Pyramid, Stonehenge, famous cathedrals like Wells and Chartres, and all the megalithic sites, that are shouting this numerical canon that it may never be lost. The theory offers extraordinary new insights into the central question of natural philosophy, the origin of the Fine Structure Constant, the force that essentially holds us and the universe together and that stops us from flying apart, and the famous number 137, that has so obsessed some of the greatest thinkers of the 20th Century.Enduring mysteries concerning Prime Numbers, Photosynthesis, Plato, Dante's 55 Stelle, the 153 Fish in the Bible, and the SATOR Square recovered from the ruins of Pompeii - all can be readily explained and understood by application of this number theory which can potentially project our learning and advancement like no theory yet conceived. This effort has pieced together the work of many great men and women and it is by standing upon their shoulders that this theory of everything can come to you at all. Otherwise, I have simply let intuition be my guide and have been rewarded by a flow of incredible synchronicity that has allowed me to progress the theory to this stage. Without claiming to have all the answers by any means the hope is that this work will provide the inspiration for the research of many others. It feels like I have opened a crack in a door that has been shut for a very long time.
