Sinopse

In "Archimedes," Thomas Little Sir Heath masterfully explores the life and contributions of one of antiquity's most influential figures, Archimedes of Syracuse. Utilizing a blend of vivid narrative and rigorous analysis, Heath captures the essence of Archimedes' mathematical innovation, his philosophical inquiries, and the historical context of his era. The book interweaves contemporary mathematical interpretations with an examination of Archimedes' legacy, employing a clear and engaging prose style that is both intellectually stimulating and accessible to a wide audience. Heath's work situates Archimedes within the broader tapestry of Hellenistic science, emphasizing the relevance of his discoveries to modern scientific principles. Sir Thomas Little Heath, a distinguished scholar and mathematician in his own right, dedicated much of his life to the study and translation of ancient Greek mathematical texts. His deep admiration for Archimedes is evident throughout the book, as Heath not only elucidates the genius of Archimedes but also draws parallels to his own mathematical pursuits. This personal connection enriches the narrative, making it a compelling read for those interested in the intertwining of history and mathematics. This book is highly recommended for anyone fascinated by the intersection of history and science. Whether a student of mathematics, history, or philosophy, readers will find in Heath's illuminating examination not just a biography of Archimedes but a profound meditation on the enduring impact of his work on today's scientific landscape.

    Victorian era steam engines and particle physics may seem worlds apart, yet a new branch of science, quantum thermodynamics, reenvisions the scientific underpinnings of the Industrial Revolution through the lens of today's roaring quantum information revolution. Classical thermodynamics needs reimagining to take advantage of quantum mechanics, the basic framework that explores the nature of reality by peering at minute matters, down to the momentum of a single particle. 
     
     
     
    In her exciting new book, Harvard physicist Dr. Nicole Yunger Halpern introduces these concepts with what she calls "quantum steampunk," after the fantastical genre that pairs futuristic technologies with Victorian sensibilities. While listeners follow the adventures of a rag-tag steampunk crew on trains, dirigibles, and automobiles, they explore questions such as, "Can quantum physics revolutionize engines?" and "What deeper secrets can quantum information reveal about the trajectory of time?" 
     
     
     
    Yunger Halpern also describes her own adventures in the quantum universe and provides an insider's look at the work of the scientists obsessed with its technological promise. Quantum Steampunk explores the field's aesthetic, shares its whimsy, and gazes into the potential of a quantum future. The result is a blast for fans of science, science fiction, and fantasy.

    How do artificial neural networks and other forms of artificial intelligence interfere with methods and practices in the sciences? Which interdisciplinary epistemological challenges arise when we think about the use of AI beyond its dependency on big data? Not only the natural sciences, but also the social sciences and the humanities seem to be increasingly affected by current approaches of subsymbolic AI, which master problems of quality (fuzziness, uncertainty) in a hitherto unknown way. But what are the conditions, implications, and effects of these (potential) epistemic transformations and how must research on AI be configured to address them adequately?
