Barbour, J Murray (signed); From the library of Temple Rice Hollcroft
Synthetic Musical Scales signed
American Mathematical Monthly 1929. SIGNED by the AUTHOR directly on the front cover. Very Good condition. Light cover wear. Pages are clean and unmarked. Reprinted from The American Mathematical Monthly Vol. XXXVI 36 No. 3 March 1929. This is the original 1929 publication -- NOT print on demand edition or modern reprint. Bound in the original wraps stamped in black. This volume was among several dozen books from Temple Rice Hollcroft's library that we were lucky enough to purchase at auction in New Jersey. The American mathematician Temple Rice Hollcroft 1889 - 1967 received B.S. in 1912 and A.B. in 1914 from Hanover College and then A.M. in 1915 from the University of Kentucky. He received his Ph.D. in 1917 from Cornell University under Virgil Snyder. Hollcroft was a mathematics professor at Wells College from 1918 to 1954 from which he retired as professor emeritus. Hollcroft served for 14 years as Associate Secretary of the American Mathematical Society. In 1932 in Zurich he was an Invited Speaker of the International Congress of Mathematician ICM. His subject was THE GENERAL WEB OF SURFACES AND THE SPACE INVOLUTION DEFINED BY IT
. Being invited to talk at the ICM has been called "the equivalent
of induction to a hall of fame." - from Wikipedia. From the Wikipedia article on the subject: "In music a synthetic scale is a scale that derives from a traditional diatonic major scale by altering of one degree by a semitone in either direction.1 Composer Ferruccio Busoni originally explored these scales in his A New Esthetic of Music2 and their number and variety were later clarified by J. Murray Barbour who also proposed applying the procedure to scales of more or less than seven degrees including pentatonic scales.". SIGNED by J. Murray Barbour. First Edition Thus. Softcover. Very Good condition. Illus. by NOT a library discard. pp. 155 - 160. Great Packaging Fast Shipping. American Mathematical Monthly Paperback

Collected Papers of Ronald S. Rivlin: Volumes I & II
<p>New York: Springer-Verlag 1997. R.S. Rivlin is one of the principal architects of nonlinear continuum mechanics: This comprehensive two-volume set contains most of Rivlin's renown scientific papers including his seminal work on the mechanics of vulcanized rubber in the 1940's and 1950's which established the basis for finite elasticity theory; isotropic and anisotropic finite elasticity; mechanics of continua; constitutive equations; electromagnetism; crystal physics; non-Newtonian fluids; semiquantitative theory- which predicted normal stresses of the observed order of magnitiude from the structure of a polymer solution; fracture; etc. Rivlin was one of the preeminant pioneers of nonlinear continuum mechanics. An autobiographical postscript of his life is included in Vol. I. 2828 pp. collectively. 323 llustrations. Frontispiece photo of Rivlin in both volumes. Heavy Items. First Edition. Hard Cover.

Barone Vincenzo
Albert Einstein. Il costruttore di Universi
8vo, br. ed. pp.174. Nel 1921 la figlia del matematico Federigo Enriques, Adriana, andò ad accogliere Einstein alla stazione di Bologna. Non conoscendone l'aspetto, cercò di individuarlo tra i viaggiatori di prima e di seconda classe. Quando, da un vagone di terza classe, vide scendere un signore imponente, con un cappello da artista a larghe falde e i capelli che ricadevano sulle orecchie, non ebbe dubbi. "Era lui, non poteva che essere lui. L'impronta del genio era scritta sulla sua fronte". La letteratura su Einstein è sterminata, ma è composta perlopiù da testimonianze classiche, corpose biografie e studi sull'opera scientifica. A cento anni dalla formulazione della teoria generale della relatività, questo libro unisce il racconto della vita del grande fisico all'esposizione della sua scienza e delle sue idee, combinando stile narrativo, fedeltà storica e rigore scientifico.

Barone Vincenzo
L'ordine del mondo. Le simmetrie in fisica da Aristotele a Higgs
8vo, br. ed. pp.233. Il mondo ci appare come una lunga serie di contingenze locali: ogni fatto accade per ragioni sue e quindi ogni previsione relativa al fatto successivo sembra azzardata. C'è però un altro modo di guardare il mondo, ed è quello fondato sulle regolarità intrinseche, sulle trame ordinate della sua tessitura sottile. In fisica il discorso sulla struttura del mondo giunge a noi addirittura da Anassimandro, ma è con Einstein che si fa strada prepotentemente l'idea di necessità, o di inevitabilità, nel mondo fisico. È con la relatività ristretta, nel 1905, che per la prima volta entra a far parte della fisica il concetto di simmetria come elemento fondamentale della spiegazione del mondo. Da Einstein in poi, il mondo apparirà dotato di una sua struttura intrinseca, che permette lo sviluppo di certe regolarità, mentre ne nega altre, proprio come avviene nel "Castello dei destini incrociati" di Italo Calvino, dove il gioco di incroci tra le storie raccontate dai tarocchi permette alcuni sviluppi narrativi e solo quelli, con regole ben definite e inaggirabili.
