Product Description
This is Yukawa's autobiography of his early years,written in Japanese when he was fifty years old. It describes hisfamily background and the education and experience, both social andintellectual, that helped to form his character and direct hiscareer. Especially valuable to the historian of science are hisdiscussions of scientific relationships with his colleague Sin-ItiroTomonaga, with his teacher Yoshio Nishina, and with his students (wholater became his collaborators): Sakata, Taketani, and Kobayashi. TheStory ends with the writing of his first scientific paper in English,being the birth of the meson theory of nuclear forces.

Alsoincluded are the original paper of the meson theory by Prof H Yukawaand an introduction by Prof L M Brown. ... Read more

Tabibito (The Traveler)
This book is an autobiography of Hideki Yukawa, who is the most famous physicist in Japan, and also one of the most famous physicists in the world. In fact, he is the first Nobel prize winner in Japan. In the periodwhen he found his theory, Japan was kind of isolated in the world. In thisare, how did he find very famous his theory? You will know it if you readthis book. And to tell the truth, he was NOT intrested in physics so muchfirst. You will know why he bigun to study physics. I strongly recommendthis book! ... Read more

Hideki Yukawa bust at Yukawa Hall, Kyoto University, Japan.Yukawa was born in Tokyo, Japan. In 1929, after receiving his degree from Kyoto Imperial University, he stayed on as a lecturer for four years. After graduation, he was interested in theoretical physics, particularly in the theory of elementary particles. In 1932, he married Sumi ); they had two sons, Harumi and Takaaki. In 1933 he became an assistant professor at Osaka University, at age 26. In 1935 he published his theory of mesons, which explained the interaction between protons and neutrons, and was a major influence on research into elementary particles. In 1940 he became a professor in Kyoto University. In 1940 he won the Imperial Prize of the Japan Academy, in 1943 the Decoration of Cultural Merit from the Japanese government. In 1949 he became a professor at Columbia University, the same year he received the Nobel Prize in Physics, after the discovery by Cecil Frank Powell, Giuseppe Occhialini and César Lattes of Yukawa's predicted pion in 1947. Yukawa also worked on the theory of K-capture, in which a low energy electron is absorbed by the nucleus, after its initial prediction by G. C. Wick. Yukawa became the first chairman of Yukawa Institute ...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more

November 1879 in Cambridge) war ein schottischer Physiker. Er entwickelte einen Satz von Gleichungen (die Maxwellschen Gleichungen), welche die Grundlagen der Elektrizitätslehre und des Magnetismus bilden. Zudem entdeckte er die Geschwindigkeitsverteilung von Gasmolekülen (Maxwell-Verteilung). Er veröffentlichte die erste Farbfotografie als Nachweis für die Theorie der additiven Farbmischung. Maxwell war der letzte Repräsentant der jüngeren Linie der bekannten schottischen Familie Clerk of Penicuik. Mit 27 heiratete er Katherine Mary Dewar. Die Ehe blieb kinderlos.

Il est lauréat du prix Nobel de physique de 1949 . Il fut le premier Japonais à recevoir un prix Nobel. Il fait ses études à l'Université de Kyōto), où il devient ensuite professeur. Il entre en 1933 à l'université impériale d'Osaka, où il obtient son doctorat en 1938, puis il rejoint l'université impériale de Kyoto comme professeur de physique théorique (1939-1950). Il visite l'Institute for Advanced Study à Princeton et l'Université Colombia à New York, puis devient directeur de l'Institut de recherche pour la physique fondamentale à Kyoto (1953-1970). Buste de Hideki YukawaEn 1935, alors qu'il est professeur à l'université d'Ōsaka, Yukawa propose une nouvelle théorie des forces nucléaires, qui prévoit l'existence de mésons, particules qui ont une masse intermédiaire entre celle de l'électron et celle du proton. En 1937, la découverte d'un méson (un pion) parmi les rayons cosmiques par Cecil Frank Powell rend Yukawa célèbre. La théorie des mésons est devenue depuis une partie importante de la physique nucléaire. Après s'être consacré au développement de cette théorie, Yukawa commence en 1947 à travailler sur une théorie plus complète des particules élémentaires, basée sur son idée de champ non-local. Yukawa fut doctorat honoris causa de l'Université de Paris, membre honoraire de la Royal Society of Edinburgh, membre étranger de la Royal Society (1963), de l'Académie des sciences indienne, de l'International Academy of Philosop...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...
