Adriaan Daniël Fokker 1887 -1972 Was A Dutch Physicist. He Worked In The Fields Of Special Relativity And Statistical Mechanics. Fokker Was Born In Buitenzorg Dutch East Indies Now Bogor Indonesia. He Was A Cousin Of The Aeronautical Engineer Anthony Fokker. Fokker Studied Mining Engineering At The Delft University Of Technology And Physics At The University Of Leiden With Hendrik Lorentz Where He Earned His Doctorate In 1913. He Continued His Studies With Albert Einstein Ernest Rutherford And William Bragg. In His 1913 Thesis He Derived The Fokker-Planck Equation Along With Max Planck. After His Military Service During World War I He Returned To Leiden As Lorentz' And Ehrenfest's Assistant. Fokker Became A Physics Teacher At The Gymnasium Of Delft After 1918 And Was Appointed In 1923 As The First Professor Of Applied Physics At The Technische Hoogeschool Delft Today Delft University Of Technology. In 1928 Fokker Succeeded Hendrik Lorentz As Director Of Research At Teylers Museum In Haarlem. Fokker Made Several Contributions To Special Relativity And Some Less Well-Known Contributions To General Relativity Particularly In The Area Of Geodetic Precession The Phenomena Of Precession Of A Freely Falling Gyroscope In A Gravitational Field.Fokker Began To Study Music Theory During The Second World War When The University Of Leiden Was Closed; Partly This Was Due To A Desire To Convince The Nazis He Would Be Of No Use To The War Effort And Partly It Was A Response To Reading The Work Of Christiaan Huygens On The 31 Equal Temperament. In 1938 Fokker - Along With Dirk Coster And Otto Hahn - Helped Jewish-Born Physicist Lise Meitner Escape From Austria To The Netherlands. "Fokker And Coster Both Knew That University Positions Were Virtually Unavailable For Foreigners. Laboratory Space Was Not A Problem However Either In Groningen Or Haarlem. 'Perhaps We Can Tap Colleagues For Regular Contributions' Coster Suggested. Fokker Set A Goal Of F.20000 Enough To Support Meitner For Five Years And Immediately Began Contacting Colleagues For Advice And Donations." They Were Unsuccessful In Obtaining Funding But Fokker Succeeded In Getting Official Permission For Meitner To Leave Although He Was Unable To Telegraph That To Her Due To Secrecy. She Escaped Barely In Time To Evade Arrest. The Year 1942 Consequently Marked A Turning Point In His Life; After Then He Wrote Many Pieces In 31-Equal Which Are Notable For Using The 7Th Harmonic As A Consonant Interval 31-Equal Has A Much Better Approximation Of The 7Th Harmonic Than The Ubiquitous 12-Equal. He Also Made Notable Contributions To Music Theory Such As The Fokker Periodicity Block. Martinus Nijhoff paperback

Near Fine In Near Fine Dust Jacket. Ownership Stamp Of Caltech Professor C. Hewitt Dix. Fritz Rohrlich 1921 -2018 Was An American Theoretical Physicist And Educator Who Published In The Fields Of Quantum Electrodynamics Classical Electrodynamics Of Charged Particles And The Philosophy Of Science. Rohrlich Was Born In Vienna Austria In 1921. In 1939 He Emigrated To Study At The Technion In Haifa In Modern-Day Israel Where He Was Awarded A Diploma In Industrial Chemistry In 1943. He Then Began Work In Jerusalem As A Technician For The British Armed Forces. He Was Able To Concurrently Study Physics With Giulio Racah At The Hebrew University Of Jerusalem Which Was His Ultimate Goal. In June 1942 His Parents Became Victims Of The Holocaust; They Had Been Deported To The Sobibór Extermination Camp By The Authorities In Austria. In 1946 Rohrlich Was Accepted For Graduate Studies At Harvard University In The United States. He Received A Master's Degree In 1947 And A Doctorate In 1948; His Doctoral Thesis Advisor Was Julian Schwinger. At Harvard He Was Also A Teaching Assistant For Norman Foster Ramsey. In 1948 He Joined The Institute For Advanced Study In Princeton New Jersey; As Max Jammer Wrote Much Later "For Rohrlich This Was One Of The Highlights Of His Life: He Met Einstein Pais Placzek Uhlenbeck Dyson And The Mathematicians Gödel Von Neumann And Weyl; He Was Present When Von Laue And Yukawa Visited The Institute. In 1949 He Became A Research Associate With Hans Bethe At Cornell University. There He Met Richard Feynman Which Revived His Interest In The Problems Of Divergences In The Classical Electrodynamic Theory For Charged Particles For Which He Later Became A Leading Expert. At The Same Time He Also Made Significant Contributions To The Establishment Of Early Quantum Electrodynamics And In Particular He Demonstrated The Equivalence Of The Various Formulations For Spin-0 Particles After Freeman Dyson Had Demonstrated The Version Of Spin-½ Particles. In 1951 He Became An Assistant Professor At Princeton University. There He Gave Lectures On Quantum Electrodynamics From Which His Seminal Textbook Written With Josef-Maria Jauch Emerged. In 1953 He Became An Associate Professor And Colleague Of Jauch At The University Of Iowa; The Text The Theory Of Photons And Electrons Was First Published In 1955. In 1963 He Became A Professor At Syracuse University Where He Spent The Rest Of His Career; His Text Classical Charged Particles Was First Published In 1965. In Addition To His Work In Theories Of Quantum And Classical Electrodynamics In The Early 1960S He Also Investigated With T. Fulton And Louis Witten The Problem Of The Radiation Of The Free-Falling Charged Particle In The General Theory Of Relativity And The Question Of Whether This Violated The Principle Of Equivalence. In The 1980S He Put His Focus On The Philosophy Of Science And Wrote The Text From Paradox To Reality: Our Basic Concepts Of The Physical World. In 1991 He Retired And Became A Professor Emeritus. He Remained Active In Research For Many Years Thereafter And In 2009 Was Honored By The Lifetime "Outstanding Referee" Designation Of The American Physical Society. Addison- Wesley hardcover

Per Wikipedia Sir James Hopwood Jeans Om Frs 1877 - 1946 Was An English Physicist Mathematician And An Astronomer. He Served As A Secretary Of The Royal Society From 1919 To 1929 And Was The President Of The Royal Astronomical Society From 1925 To 1927 And Won Its Gold Medal.Jeans Was Elected Fellow Of Trinity College In October 1901 And Taught At Cambridge But Went To Princeton University In 1904 As A Professor Of Applied Mathematics. He Returned To Cambridge In 1910. From 1923 To 1944 He Was Associated With Caltech's Mount Wilson Observatory. He Made Important Contributions In Many Areas Of Physics Including Quantum Theory The Theory Of Radiation And Stellar Evolution. Jeans Along With Arthur Eddington Is A Founder Of British Cosmology. His Scientific Reputation Is Grounded In The Monographs The Dynamical Theory Of Gases 1904 Theoretical Mechanics 1906 And Mathematical Theory Of Electricity And Magnetism 1908. After Retiring In 1929 He Wrote A Number Of Books For The Lay Public. One Of Jeans's Major Discoveries Named The Jeans Length Is A Critical Radius Of An Interstellar Cloud In Space. It Depends On The Temperature And Density Of The Cloud And The Mass Of The Particles Composing The Cloud. A Cloud That Is Smaller Than Its Jeans Length Will Not Have Sufficient Gravity To Overcome The Repulsive Gas Pressure Forces And Condense To Form A Star Whereas A Cloud That Is Larger Than Its Jeans Length Will Collapse. Jeans Came Up With Another Version Of This Equation Called The Jeans Mass Or The Jeans Instability That Solves For The Critical Mass A Cloud Must Attain Before Being Able To Collapse. Jeans Also Helped To Discover The Rayleigh-Jeans Law Which Relates The Energy Density Of Black-Body Radiation To The Temperature Of The Emission Source. Jeans Is Also Credited With Calculating The Rate Of Atmospheric Escape From A Planet Due To Kinetic Energy Of The Gas Molecules A Process Known As Jeans Escape.

Per Wikipedia John David Barrow Frs 1952 - 2020 Was An English Cosmologist Theoretical Physicist And Mathematician. He Served As Gresham Professor Of Geometry At Gresham College From 2008 To 2011. Barrow Was Also A Writer Of Popular Science And An Amateur Playwright. Barrow's Approach To Philosophical Issues Posed By Physical Cosmology Made His Books Accessible To General Readers. For Example Barrow Introduced A Memorable Paradox Which He Called "The Groucho Marx Effect" See Russell-Like Paradoxes. Here He Quotes Groucho Marx: "I Wouldn't Want To Belong To Any Club That Would Accept Me As A Member". Applying This To Problems In Cosmology Barrow Stated: "A Universe Simple Enough To Be Understood Is Too Simple To Produce A Mind Capable Of Understanding It". Oxford University Press hardcover
