Dicati R: Stamping Through Astronomy

Stamping Through Astronomy

A History of Astronomy through Stamps and Philately

De Gruyter Studies in Mathematics

Orthogonal Polynomials

Science Networks. Historical Studies

This unique reference work systematically presents and studies mathematical terms, sourcing literature from antiquity until the 20th century.
The book provides detailed and reliable information on the origins and developments of more than 1,000 mathematical terms from all branches of mathematics. The dictionary is based on extensive research of the primary literature, cites from original sources, provides historical illustrations, discusses synonyms and competing terms, and quotes critical or approving comments on newly created terms. Each entry is self-contained and includes a bibliography. All major mathematical fields are represented, ranging from geometry and arithmetic to, for example, calculus, topology, and category theory.
This set comprises both volumes I and II, covering the letters from A through Z.

Fundamental Theories of Physics

This book highlights that Mass and Proper Time, which are well-defined classically, have all sorts of conceptual problems when considered quantum- machanically. When systems interact, the masses change to include binding energies, etc., but are not treated as variables within the standard formalism. Similarly, proper time becomes an ambiguous concept when particles are entangled, or when they can take several different paths. But the formalism can easily be extended, so that they become conjugate dynamical variables, and there is an uncertainty principle between mass and proper time. There are many examples of this, but it is not easy to prove convincingly, since one can always experimentally change a mass-time relationship into a momentum-position one, which is well known. It is only in the case of unstable particles, where one sees a clear difference. The new formalism treats a system where particles can decay, even classically, which they cannot do conventionally. In this capacity, the theory merges into other situations where particles decay. But it is clear within this theory, that the mechanism that controls how masses change is gravitational, and so one finally has the possibility of merging gravity with the other forces of nature in a natural way. This can be accomplished by a natural extension of the principle of equivalence. The book describes how the theory naturally blends gravity into the other forces, providing a hope for an integrated theory of the forces of nature.&nbsp;The emphasis of the book is always physical, rather than mathematical, so that the theory does not seem to be an ad-hoc mathematical add-on to conventional theories.

A Brief History of Computing

Im Dezember 2022 gelang US-Forschern ein historischer Durchbruch: Bei einem Fusionsversuch wurde erstmals mehr Energie freigesetzt, als für die Zündung der Reaktion zugeführt wurde. Die jahrzehntelange Vision einer nahezu unerschöpflichen, klimaneutralen Energiequelle rückte plötzlich in greifbare Nähe. Doch was steckt wirklich hinter der Kernfusion – und wie realistisch ist ihre baldige Nutzung?
Dieses Buch nimmt Sie mit auf eine faszinierende Reise durch die Geschichte, Physik und Zukunft der Kernfusion. Es erklärt verständlich die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen und technischen Herausforderungen, beleuchtet internationale Großprojekte wie ITER und zeigt, warum mittlerweile auch private Investoren mit Milliardenbeträgen in das Rennen um die „Sonne im Reaktor“ eingestiegen sind.
Autor Lars Jaeger erzählt von Rückschlägen, Durchbrüchen und der einzigartigen Zusammenarbeit zwischen Ost und West. Nicht nur im Kalten Krieg, auch heute noch überbrücken Fusionsforschende Grenzen und Gräben – denn die Kernfusion könnte das Menschheitsthema Energieversorgung revolutionieren und zum Game-Changer im Kampf gegen die Klimakrise werden.
Ein spannender, fundierter und hochaktueller Einblick in eine Technologie, die unsere Welt verändern kann.

“This work is a superb philosophical exegesis of the conceptual underpinnings of the disaster of the Anthropocene. Katherine Snow discloses the origin of today’s polycrisis as the bloated empowerment of a narrow rationality to know the whole, to seal reality within an enclosure that’s in principle understandable by and at the disposal of anthropos, and to embolden anthropocentrism to such an extent that it has become a demonic force on the planet.”—Eileen Crist, Associate Professor Emerita, Virginia Tech, USAThe Spinoza Controversy – a debate over the correct use and inherent limits of human reason which swept through the German world of letters around 1800 – is usually treated as an interesting historical episode which came and went like any other intellectual debate during that tumultuous time in European intellectual life. This work presents a different view of the Controversy, arguing that it was never satisfactorily resolved, and must continually return to confront the West, particularly at times when our ability to make sense of the world by declaring it to be merely a zone in which only necessity-relations are real gets put under particular pressure. The Controversy arguably returned once to the discourse after the First World War; Snow argues that it is now time to recognize that its third iteration has begun. The West’s ongoing annihilation and literal vanishing of the natural world of our direct experience, and the rapid proliferation of novel types of pseudo-worlds and even entire private rationalities, both imply the need to radically rethink the proper construction and use of the ontology of necessity, including why it should not in fact be used as – and cannot in fact coherently continue to serve us as – our primary way of understanding nature and existence. The radical critique of the ontology of necessity first offered two hundred years ago by the “losing” side of the Controversy forms a vital starting point for re-navigating the Controversy today. The stakes of the Controversy this time around are nothing less than the individual’s freedom and even survival as a full subject, and the possible unraveling of Western reason itself, which if it is allowed to happen – if the Controversy is not arbitrated differently this third time around – will have been predicted, in essence, two hundred years ago during the first appearance of this intriguing, crucial, and yet at its heart compellingly simple debate.Katherine C. Snow is an environmental philosopher and research associate at Princeton University. She received her PhD from the University of Edinburgh in 2021.

Ontologies of Necessity and Environmental Nihilism

Our Inevitable Third Spinoza Controversy

Palgrave Perspectives on Process Philosophy

“Kwapi¿ska makes the compelling case that a revitalised philosophy of nature (drawn from Schelling and Whitehead) is the much-needed shift in our habits of thought that can undermine the mechanistic materialism underpinning capitalist dynamics of self-destruction. If you have followed Stiegler and Hui on similar terrain, then pick up this book and add it to your reading list.”
—Dr Iain MacKenzie, University of Kent, Kent, UK
This book demonstrates how the totalization of mechanistic materialism is inherent to global capitalism and how this totalization, coupled with techno-theism (the belief that technology will save us as a universal political project) and growth-mania (the belief in economic growth as a remedy to all socio-political issues), leads to the exhaustion of mind and nature. This book is an extensive examination of how the conceptualization of the relationship between thought and matter is at the core of philosophies of nature, philosophies of technology, and theories of political economy, and of the reasons why we must urgently rethink this relationship. &nbsp;Kwapi¿ska argues that we must dig deep into our intellectual habits to enable noo- and bio- diversity and resist the totalizing tendencies of global capitalism. The book calls for the diversification of methods in social sciences, and the incorporation of process perspectives, to deal with the fact that orthodox ontologies and methods have failed to predict and manage consecutive economic and socio-political crises.
Kamila Kwapi¿ska is associated with the Centre for Critical Thought, and a Visiting Academic in the School of Economics, Politics and International Relations, University of Kent, Canterbury.

Welche Handlungsspielräume haben wir in einer Welt, die zunehmend von Künstlicher Intelligenz geprägt wird? Was kommt auf uns zu? Dieses Buch lädt dazu ein, unsere Zukunft in einer von KI geprägten Welt bewusst zu reflektieren. Arbeitsplatzverlust, Diskriminierung, Manipulation, Cyberangriffe und das endgültige Verschwinden von Privatsphäre sind nur der Anfang, denn KI wird unser Mensch-Sein an sich in Frage stellen.
Eine unregulierte KI wird unsere Wahrnehmung immer tiefer in virtuelle Metaversen entführen, aus denen es kein Zurück mehr gibt. Sie verändert nicht nur unsere mentalen Lebenswelten, sondern auch unsere Physis. Wenn Menschen durch Body-Enhancement KI-gesteuerte Zusatzfunktionen in ihre Körper integrieren und Roboter mit biologischen Komponenten ausgerüstet werden, verschwimmen die Grenzen zwischen Mensch und Maschine. Wir werden zu Cyborgs – aus Science-Fiction wird eine vorhersehbare Realität.
Um diese Entwicklungen wissenschaftlich, gesellschaftspolitisch und ethisch einzuordnen, begeben wir uns auf eine kulturhistorische Reise, die von der Antike bis in ein vielleicht gar nicht mehr so fernes Morgen führt.

Künstliche Intelligenz und Mensch

Edition Medienwissenschaft

In einer global vernetzten, digital durchdrungenen Welt genügt es nicht mehr, in geschlossenen Systemen zu denken. Der Blick richtet sich vielmehr auf das, was Systeme verbindet und definiert: das Spiel der Schnittstellen. Als Orte der Übertragung, Filterung, Übersetzung und Sinnbildung werden sie zu den zentralen Erkenntnisobjekten überhaupt. Zwischen Mensch und Maschine, Kultur und Technik, Sprache und Material ermöglichen sie nicht nur Austausch, sondern auch ständige Veränderung. Christian Stein führt interdisziplinäre Perspektiven aus&nbsp;Medien-, Kultur-, Technik- und Naturwissenschaften zusammen.&nbsp;So öffnet er ein neues Denken - eines, das Schnittstellen offenlegt und zu ihrer aktiven Mit- und Umgestaltung anregt.
