The authors show how the junior second physicist in German universities over time became the theoretical physicist, of equal standing to the experimental physicist. Gustav Kirchhoff, Hermann von Helmholtz, and Max Planck are among the great German theoretical physicists whose work and career are examined in this book. Physics was then the only natural science in which theoretical work developed into a major teaching and research specialty in its own right. Readers will discover how German physicists arrived at a well-defined field of theoretical physics with well understood and generally accepted goals and needs. The authors explain the nature of the work of theoretical physics with many examples, taking care always to locate the research within the workplace. The book is a revised and shortened version of Intellectual Mastery of Nature: Theoretical Physics from Ohm to Einstein, a two-volume work by the same authors. This new edition represents a reformulation of the larger work. It retains what is most important in the original work, while including new material, sharpening discussions, and making the research more accessible to readers. It presents a thorough examination of a seminal era in physics. 410 0$aArchimedes, New Studies in the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology,$x1385-0180 ;$v48 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aApplied mathematics 606 $aEngineering mathematics 606 $aEpistemology 606 $aHistory 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19005 606 $aApplications of Mathematics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13003 606 $aEpistemology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E13000 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aApplied mathematics. 615 0$aEngineering mathematics. 615 0$aEpistemology. 615 0$aHistory. 615 14$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 615 24$aApplications of Mathematics. 615 24$aEpistemology. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 676 $a530.0922 700 $aJungnickel$b Christa$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$062239 702 $aMcCormmach$b Russell$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254584003321 996 $aThe Second Physicist$92108056 997 $aUNINA
