Mathematics and the Laws of Nature: Developing the Language of Science (History of Mathematics (Facts on File)) by John Tabak (PDF)

Description

Mathematics and the Laws of Nature, Revised Edition describes the evolution of the idea that nature can be described in the language of mathematics. Colorful chapters explore the earliest attempts to apply deductive methods to the study of the natural world. This revised resource goes on to examine the development of classical conservation laws, including the conservation of momentum, the conservation of mass, and the conservation of energy. Chapters have been updated and revised to reflect recent information, including the mathematical pioneers who introduced new ideas about what it meant to solve an equation and the influential efforts of the mathematicians of the former Soviet Union.

⭐This amazing book engages the reader in the discoveries, theories, and experiments that led to the seemingly universal concepts that we call natural laws. The author, John Tabak, shows how natural laws evolve with our ability to accurately observe, measure, and understand the universe. After reading this book, I am totally pumped with anticipation about what the natural laws will be 50 years from now. Natural laws are to science what the US Marines are to warfare – universally applicable and unforgiving when disobeyed.Semper Fidelis,James Tabak USMC

⭐Neither Mathematics nor the laws of nature are boring, but this book sure makes them seem so. I would be afraid of students wanting to commit suicide or to at least take up cutting in order to simply releave their monotony while reading it. (the actual table of contents seems good, but don’t be fooled.)Reading this book is not so much an unholy act as it is an unbearable spiritual void (a blackhole in the cosmos of one’s sense of being). By the way, the review by the author (if that’s what it really is) shows a lack of taste. If someone is going to attempt something this tasteless, then they should at a minimum try and be a little funny or a wEE bIT iRONIC. (these last comments of mine about a lack of taste and being tasteless were intended as humourous extensions of my comments on the ungodly sense of boredom imparted through a reading of this book.)As for the Marines and Mt. Fuji, don’t get me started. I’ll just say I have an awe of authority and an awe of nature. These deep, near religious (though not pagan…I do what I can to follow the Bible), feelings of mine can be and are kept in check (every once in a while) by acts of outspokenness, e.g., like this review. And let’s leave it at that.
