Excerpt: Richard Phillips Feynman (pronounced ; May 11, 1918 February 15, 1988) was an American physicist known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics and the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as in particle physics (he proposed the parton model). For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman, jointly with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965. He developed a widely used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions governing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams. During his lifetime, Feynman became one of the best-known scientists in the world. He assisted in the development of the atomic bomb and was a member of the panel that investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. In addition to his work in theoretical physics, Feynman has been credited with pioneering the field of quantum computing, and introducing...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=25523 ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: John von Neumann (December 28, 1903 February 8, 1957) was a Hungarian-American mathematician who made major contributions to a vast range of fields, including set theory, functional analysis, quantum mechanics, ergodic theory, continuous geometry, economics and game theory, computer science, numerical analysis, hydrodynamics (of explosions), and statistics, as well as many other mathematical fields. He is generally regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians in modern history. The mathematician Jean Dieudonné called von Neumann "the last of the great mathematicians", while Peter Lax described him as possessing the most "fearsome technical prowess" and "scintillating intellect" of the century. Even in Budapest, in the time that produced geniuses like von Kármán (b. 1881), Szilárd (b. 1898), Wigner (b. 1902), and Teller (b. 1908), his brilliance stood out. Von Neumann was a pioneer of the application of operator theory to quantum mechanics, in the development of functional analysis, a principal member of the Manhattan Project and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton (as one of the few originally appointed), and a key figure in the development of game theory and the concepts of cellular automata and the universal constructor. Along with Edward Teller and Stanislaw Ulam, von Neumann worked out key steps in the nuclear physics involved in thermonuclear reactions and the hydrogen bomb. The eldest of three brothers, von Neumann was born Neumann János Lajos (in Hungarian the family name comes first) on December 28, 1903 in Budapest, Austro-Hungarian Empire, to a wealthy Jewish family. His father was Neumann Miksa (Max Neumann), a lawyer who worked in a bank. His mother was Kann Mar...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=15942 ... Read more

Excerpt: Pachaiyappa's College, Trinity College, CambridgeSrnivsa Aiyangr Rmnujan FRS, better known as Srinivasa Iyengar Ramanujan (Tamil: ) (22 December 1887 26 April 1920) was an Indian mathematician and autodidact who, with almost no formal training in pure mathematics, made substantial contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series and continued fractions. Born and raised in Erode, Tamil Nadu, India, Ramanujan first encountered formal mathematics at age 10. He demonstrated a natural ability, and was given books on advanced trigonometry written by S L Loney. He had mastered them by age 12, and even discovered theorems of his own. He demonstrated unusual mathematical skills at school, winning accolades and awards. By 17, Ramanujan conducted his own mathematical research on Bernoulli numbers and the EulerMascheroni constant. He received a scholarship to study at Government College in Kumbakonam, but lost it when he failed his non-mathematical coursework. He joined another college to pursue independent mathematical research, working as a clerk in the Accountant-General's office at the Madras Port Trust Office to support hims...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=47717 ...

Le livre consiste d'articles Wikipedia sur : John Von Neumann, Leonhard Euler, Daniel Tammet, Shakuntala Devi, Giacomo Inaudi, Alexander Aitken, Alexis Lemaire, Gert Mittring. Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Leonhard Paul Euler, né le 15 avril 1707 à Bâle et mort le 18 septembre 1783 à Saint-Pétersbourg, est un mathématicien et physicien suisse, qui passa la plus grande partie de sa vie en Russie et en Allemagne. Euler fit d'importantes découvertes dans des domaines aussi variés que le calcul infinitésimal et la théorie des graphes. Il introduisit également une grande partie de la terminologie et de la notation des mathématiques modernes, en particulier pour l'analyse mathématique, comme pour la notion d'une fonction mathématique. Il est également connu pour ses travaux en mécanique, en dynamique des fluides, en optique et en astronomie. Euler est considéré comme un éminent mathématicien du siècle et l'un des plus grands de tous les temps. Il est aussi l'un des plus prolifiques, et une déclaration attribuée à Pierre-Simon de Laplace exprime l'influence d'Euler sur les mathématiques : « Lisez Euler, lisez Euler, c'est notre maître à tous ». Euler est représenté sur la sixième série des billets suisses de 10 francs, sur de nombreux timbres postaux suisses, allemands et russes. L'astéroïde (2002) Euler a été nommé en son honneur. Euler est également honoré par l'Église luthérienne dans son Calendrier des Saints, le 24 mai : il était un fervent chrétien, croyant en l'inerrance biblique, et s'opposa avec force aux athées éminents de son temps.

Excerpt: Arthur Koestler CBE (5 September 1905, Budapest - 3 March 1983, London) was an author of essays, novels and autobiographies. Koestler was born in Budapest but, apart from his early school years, was educated in Austria. His early career was in journalism. In 1931 he joined the Communist Party of Germany but, disillusioned, he resigned from it in 1938 and in 1940 published a devastating anti-totalitarian novel, Darkness at Noon, which propelled him to international fame. Over the next 43 years, Koestler espoused many political causes and wrote novels, biographies, and numerous essays. In 1968 he was awarded the prestigious Sonning Prize "for outstanding contribution to European culture", and in 1972 he was made a Commander of the British Empire (CBE). In 1976 Koestler was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, and three years later with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia in its terminal stages. He committed suicide along with his wife in 1983 in London. Koestler's father, Henrik Koestler, was born on 18 August 1869 in the town of Miskolc in northeastern Hungary. Henrik's father, Leopold Koestler, was a Russian Jew who had settled in northeastern Hungary in 1860, where he married a local woman. Henrik left school at age 16 due to his parents' strained financial c...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=18950939 ... Read more

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A pseudorandom process is a process that appears to be random but it is not. Pseudorandom sequences typically exhibit statistical randomness while being generated by an entirely deterministic causal process. Such a process is easier to produce than a genuine random one, and has the benefit that it can be used again and again to produce exactly the same numbers, useful for testing and fixing software.To generate truly random numbers requires precise, accurate, and repeatable system measurements of absolutely non-deterministic processes. ...
