Hardback. New. The publication in 1632 of Galileo's Dialogue on the Two Chief World Systems Ptolemaic and Copernican marked a crucial moment in the `scientific revolution' and helped Galileo become the `father of modern science'. The Dialogue contains Galileo's mature synthesis of astronomy physics and methodology and a critical confirmation of Copernicus's hypothesis of the earth's motion. However the book also led Galileo to stand trial with the Inquisition in what became known as `the greatest scandal in Christendom'. In The Routledge Guidebook to Galileo's Dialogue Maurice A. Finocchiaro introduces and analyzes: the intellectual background and historical context of the Copernican controversy and Inquisition trial; the key arguments and critiques that Galileo presents on both sides of the `dialogue'; the Dialogue's content and significance from three special points of view: science methodology and rhetoric; the enduring legacy of the Dialogue and the ongoing application of its approach to other areas. This is an essential introduction for all students of science philosophy history and religion wanting a useful guide to Galileo's great classic. hardcover
Paperback / softback. New. This book provides an in-depth and rigorous study of the Wigner transform and its variants. They are presented first within a context of a general mathematical framework and then through applications to quantum mechanics. The Wigner transform was introduced by Eugene Wigner in 1932 as a probability quasi-distribution which allows expression of quantum mechanical expectation values in the same form as the averages of classical statistical mechanics. It is also used in signal processing as a transform in time-frequency analysis closely related to the windowed Gabor transform.Written for advanced-level students and professors in mathematics and mathematical physics it is designed as a complete textbook course providing analysis on the most important research on the subject to date. Due to the advanced nature of the content it is also suitable for research mathematicians engineers and chemists active in the field. paperback
