 Knots and LinksKnot theory is the study of embeddings of circles in space. It is a subject in which naturally occurring questions are often so simple to state that they can be explained to a child, yet finding answers may require ideas from the forefront of research. It is a subject of both depth and subtlety.
The subject started to develop... | | Informal PhilosophyFrom around the turn of the twentieth century, the founders of symbolic logic had a profound effect on subsequent philosophical practice. They saw the combination of logic and science as a model that philosophy should emulate. Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) described it as a “scientific philosophy, grounded in mathematical logic.”... | | The Theory of Matrices in Numerical AnalysisThis book represents an effort to select and present certain aspects of the theory of matrices that are most useful in developing and appraising computational methods for solving systems of linear equations (including the inversion of matrices) and for finding characteristic roots. The solution of linear inequalities and the problems of linear... |

Quantum MechanicsThe principles of quantum mechanics were formulated by many people during a short period of time at the beginning of the twentieth century. Max Planck wrote down his formula for the spectrum of blackbody radiation and introduced the constant that now bears his name in 1900. By 1924, through the work of Einstein, Rutherford and Bohr, Schrodinger and... | | The Geek Atlas: 128 Places Where Science and Technology Come AliveThe history of science is all around us, if you know where to look.
