Sommario/riassunto |
|
Using graphs, figures & narrative to explain scientific ideas & models, Gregory Baker gives a lucid account of the physics of the pendulum, showing the reader how the context of the pendulum progresses over 4 centuries from that of a simple system of classical physics, to that of a chaotic system, & then to that of a modern quantum system. |

Douglas Hurt, author of The Ohio FrontierRiver of Enterprise explores the role the Ohio played in |
