Download or read book Measurement written by Paul Lockhart and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For seven years, Paul Lockhart’s A Mathematician’s Lament enjoyed a samizdat-style popularity in the mathematics underground, before demand prompted its 2009 publication to even wider applause and debate. An impassioned critique of K–12 mathematics education, it outlined how we shortchange students by introducing them to math the wrong way. Here Lockhart offers the positive side of the math education story by showing us how math should be done. Measurement offers a permanent solution to math phobia by introducing us to mathematics as an artful way of thinking and living. In conversational prose that conveys his passion for the subject, Lockhart makes mathematics accessible without oversimplifying. He makes no more attempt to hide the challenge of mathematics than he does to shield us from its beautiful intensity. Favoring plain English and pictures over jargon and formulas, he succeeds in making complex ideas about the mathematics of shape and motion intuitive and graspable. His elegant discussion of mathematical reasoning and themes in classical geometry offers proof of his conviction that mathematics illuminates art as much as science. Lockhart leads us into a universe where beautiful designs and patterns float through our minds and do surprising, miraculous things. As we turn our thoughts to symmetry, circles, cylinders, and cones, we begin to see that almost anyone can “do the math” in a way that brings emotional and aesthetic rewards. Measurement is an invitation to summon curiosity, courage, and creativity in order to experience firsthand the playful excitement of mathematical work.

This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 1037 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multidisciplinary reference of engineering measurement tools, techniques, and applications Volume 1 "When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely in your thoughts advanced to the stage of science." Lord Kelvin Measurement falls at the heart of any engineering discipline and job function. Whether engineers are attempting to state requirements quantitatively and demonstrate compliance; to track progress and predict results; or to analyze costs and benefits, they must use the right tools and techniques to produce meaningful, useful data.

Download or read book The Measurement of Gravitomagnetism written by Lorenzo Iorio and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to give an updated overview on the state-of-the art of the theoretical and experimental efforts aimed to detect the elusive Lense-Thirring effect in the gravitational field of the Earth. The reader, after a robust introduction to the historical (Chapter 2) and theoretical (Chapters 3-5) aspects of the subject, will get acquainted with the subtleties required to design suitable observables which are able to sufficiently enhance the signal-to-noise ratio. Moreover, he/she should be able to follow autonomously the exciting developments which, hopefully, will take place in the near future if and when reliable few percent tests of this prediction of general relativity should become available. In an Earth-space based experiment with artificial satellites a good compromise between the need of reducing the impact of the systematic errors of gravitational origin and of non-gravitational origin must be obtained; this is not an easy task because such requirements are often in conflict one with each other. Consequently, a great attention is paid to elucidate many classical perturbing effects which, if not carefully modelled and accounted for in the data analysis, may alias the recovery of the gravitomagnetic signature. Indeed, we are dealing with a fundamental test of general relativity which must be honest, robust and based on solid error analysis. A critical and detailed discussion of the latest test with the LAGEOS satellites is included. The book will also be useful for better understanding the interplay among various geodetic, geophysical, general relativistic, astronomical and matter-wave interferometric effects which occurs in the weak-field and slow-motion approximation and which will become increasingly important in the near future thanks to the improvements in the accuracy of the orbital reconstruction process.

Download or read book Quantum Measurements in Optics written by Paolo Tombesi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Quantum Measurements in Optics was held in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, January 21-25, 1991. This workshop was attended by 70 participants from 16 different countries. The subjects discussed at this workshop concentrated on quantum measurements in optics made possible by the recent advances in the generation and detection of light with low quantum noise. These advances have occurred simultaneously with the development of atomic traps capable of trapping a single atom for a considerable period of time. The interaction of a single two level atom with the single mode of the electromagnetic field is now possible in high Q microcavities. A new field of cavity QED has developed studying the properties of Rydberg atoms in microwave cavities. At this meeting we heard the first report of an atomic interferometer where a single atom passing through the two slits exhibits wave like interference phenomena. This new field involving the transfer of momentum from photons to atoms has lead to new possibilities for quantum nondemolition measurements on an optical field. We heard suggestions for such measurements at this meeting. With the new light sources available the possibility of using low quantum noise light in optical communications becomes close to reality. The problem of the propagation of quantum light field in optical fibres was actively discussed at this meeting.

Download or read book Dust in the Solar System and Other Planetary Systems written by S.F. Green and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2002-12-10 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the last joint IAU and COSPAR Colloquium in Gainesville in 1995, there have been dramatic changes in the field resulting from in-situ space experiments, Earth orbiting satellites and ground based observations. The brightest comet since the early years of the twentieth century, comet Hale-Bopp, appeared, giving an invaluable opportunity to see in action one great source of interplanetary dust. Similarly, the Leonid meteor shower has been at its most active since 1966, producing spectacular displays of meteors and allowing for an array of observational techniques, not available in 1966 to be used, while theory has also been refined to a level where very accurate predictions of the timing of meteor storms has become possible. Prior to the meeting a total eclipse of the Sun in South West England and North Europe was observed, traditionally a good opportunity to observe the Zodiacal cloud. The knowledge of the Near-Earth Asteroid population has also increased dramatically, with the increased study arising from the heightened awareness of the danger to Earth from such bodies. Extrasolar planets have been discovered since the last meeting and it is recognised that interplanetary dust in other Planetary Systems can now be studied. Since much of the dust observed in such systems is at a distance of order 100 AU from the star, this brings into focus the production of dust in the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt of our own system. Recent years have seen a recognition of the importance of dust originating outside our own system, that is now present in the near-Earth environment. As is always the case when great strides take place observationally, much theoretical work follows, and the same is true in this instance. While data about the planetary medium from Venus to Jupiter was beginning to be available at the meeting in 1995, the data from both Galileo and Ulysses have now been more fully analysed, with a corresponding increase in our knowledge. This book reflects the thematic approach adopted at the meeting, with a flow outwards (from meteors in the atmosphere, through zodiacal dust observation and interplanetary dust, to extra solar planetary systems) and returning (via the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt and comets) to the Earth, with laboratory studies of physical and chemical processes and the study of extra-terrestrial samples.
