Extrait : Isaac Newton (4 janvier 1643 G - 31 mars 1727 G, ou 25 décembre 1642 J - 20 mars 1727 J) est un philosophe, mathématicien, physicien, alchimiste et astronome anglais. Figure emblématique des sciences, il est surtout reconnu pour sa théorie de la gravitation universelle et la création, en concurrence avec Leibniz, du calcul infinitésimal. En optique, il a développé une théorie de la couleur basée sur l'observation selon laquelle un prisme décompose la lumière blanche en un spectre visible. Il a aussi inventé le télescope à réflexion composé d'un miroir primaire concave appelé télescope de Newton. En mécanique, il a établi les trois lois universelles du mouvement qui sont en fait des principes à la base de la grande théorie de Newton concernant le mouvement des corps, théorie que l'on nomme aujourd'hui Mécanique newtonienne ou encore Mécanique classique. En mathématiques, Newton partage avec Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz la découverte du calcul infinitésimal. Il est aussi connu pour la généralisation du théorème du binôme et l'invention dite de la méthode de Newton permettant de trouver des approximations d'un zéro (ou racine) d'une fonction d'une variable réelle à valeurs réelles. Newton a montré que le mouvement des objets sur Terre et des corps célestes sont gouvernés par les mêmes lois naturelles ; en se basant sur les lois de Kepler sur le mouvement des planètes, il dé...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Product Description
Robert Hooke was one of the most gifted men of his age. His 'Micrographia' (1665) brought him some fame but it was his great misfortune to work in the sphere of two remarkable men - Isaac Newton and Christopher Wren. While they gained the recognition of a monument in Westminster Abbey, the vitriolic and unsociable Hooke died unloved, alone and in poverty. This book, published to coincide with the tercentenary of his death, recognises at last the great contribution that he made. Alongside a close examination of Hooke's work with Wren in the reconstruction of London after the Great Fire, Michael Cooper provides a rounded portrayal of Hooke's scientific inventions, as well as examining afresh his relationships with Newton and other contemporaries. ...

This Hair was tied to the Scale of a Beam ; and this Poife, by a Counterpoife in the other Scale, was made to fwim in the Water, fo as neither to touch the Bottom, nor the Top. And when fo poifed, it was found, that a 5th Part of a Grain added to, or taken from the Scale, would make the Glafs- Pear rife to the Top, or fink to the Bottom. Whence it was evident, that the whole Glafs, weighing about four Pounds (which amounts tcf 22040 Grains, or 220400 tenth Parts of Grains) and that one lingle tenth Part of a Grain would turn it. And the Glafs, when fufpended, being always equal to an equal Bulk of Water, if that Weight be alter'd a 2204001!!

Februar 1909 in London; † 16. Juli 1995) war ein englischer Dichter, Autor und Hochschullehrer, der sich in seinen Werken auf soziale Ungerechtigkeiten und den Klassenkampf konzentrierte. Spender wurde in London als Sohn eines Journalisten geboren. Spender besuchte u.a. die Gresham's School in Holt (Norfolk) und die Universität Oxford. An der Gresham's School begegnete er W. H. Auden. Spender beendete sein Studium nicht, sondern ging nach Deutschland (gleichwohl wurde er 1973 zum honorary fellow of the college erhoben). Zu dieser Zeit in Deutschland wurde er ein Freund von Christopher Isherwood (der auch in Weimar lebte), von Macspaunday-Mitglied Louis MacNeice und C. Day Lewis. In späterer Zeit lernte er William Butler Yeats, Allen Ginsberg, Ted Hughes, Joseph Brodsky, Isaiah Berlin, Mary McCarthy, Roy Campbell, Raymond Chandler, Dylan Thomas, Jean-Paul Sartre und T. S. Eliot, sowie als Mitglied der Bloomsbury Group insbesondere Virginia Woolf kennen. Seine ersten Gedichte, bekannt unter Poems (1933), waren oftmals von sozialem Protest inspiriert. Spender begann 1929 seine Arbeit mit dem Roman The Temple, der aber erst 1988 publizierte wurde. Der Roman handelt von einem jungen Mann, der nach Deutschland reist und dort mehr Kultur als in England findet und insbesondere einiges über Beziehungen zu Männern hinzulernt. Als der Spanische Bürgerkrieg begann, schlo...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=2869998 ... Read more

Excerpt: Robert Hooke FRS (18 July 1635 3 March 1703) was an English natural philosopher, architect and polymath who played an important role in the scientific revolution, through both experimental and theoretical work. His adult life comprised three distinct periods: as a brilliant scientific inquirer lacking money; achieving great wealth and standing through his reputation for hard work and scrupulous honesty following the great fire of 1666 (section:Hooke the architect), but eventually becoming ill and party to jealous intellectual disputes. These issues may have contributed to his relative historical obscurity (section: Personality and disputes). Hooke is known for his law of elasticity (Hooke's law), his book, Micrographia, and for first applying the word "cell" to describe the basic unit of life. Even now there is much less written about him than might be expected from the sheer industry of his life: he was at one time simultaneously the curator of experiments of the Royal Society and a member of its council, Gresham Professor of Geometry and a Surveyor to the City of London after the Great Fire of London, in which capacity he appears to have performed more than half of all the surveys after the fire. He was also an important architect of his time, though few of his buildings now survive and some of those are generally misattributed, and was instrumental in devising a set of planning controls for London whose influence remains today. Allan Chapman has characterised him as "England's Leonardo". Hooke studied at Wadham College during the Protectorate where he became one of a tightly-knit group of ardent Royalists centred around John Wilkins. Here he was employed as an assistant to Thomas Willis and to Robert Boyle, for whom he built the vacuum pump... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=49720 ... Read more
