Book Description
Ontological mathematics is the rational and logical explanation of everything. Where did it come from? If you wish to develop a profound understanding of ontological mathematics, the science that will shape the future of the human race, you need to know the context in which it evolved, and how it diverged from scientific materialism. Ontological mathematics is the subject that accomplished what scientific materialism considered impossible. It inserted mind into science, via the most powerful analytic formula in all of mathematics. What went wrong with how scientists think about reality, leading them into systemic error? This is the extraordinary tale of how the ultimate intellectual revolution unfolded in its earliest phase.

Hypotheses and Perspectives in the History and Philosophy of Science
Author: Raffaele Pisano
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319617125
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 497
Book Description
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of his passing (in 2014), this special book features studies on Alexandre Koyré (1892–1964), one of the most influential historians of science of the 20th century, who re-evaluated prevalent thinking on the history and philosophy of science. In particular, it explores Koyré’s intellectual matrix and heritage within interdisciplinary fields of historical, epistemological and philosophical scientific thought. Koyré is rightly noted as both a versatile historian on the birth and development of modern science and for his interest in philosophical questions on the nature of scientific knowledge. In the 1940s and 1950s his activities in the United States established a crucial bridge between the European historical tradition of science studies and the American academic environments, and an entire generation of historians of science grew up under his direct influence. The book brings together contributions from leading experts in the field, and offers much-needed insights into the subject from historical, nature of science, and philosophical perspectives. It provides an absorbing and revealing read for historians, philosophers and scientists alike.

Naming Infinity
Author: Loren Graham
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674032934
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
In 1913, Russian imperial marines stormed an Orthodox monastery at Mt. Athos, Greece, to haul off monks engaged in a dangerously heretical practice known as Name Worshipping. Exiled to remote Russian outposts, the monks and their mystical movement went underground. Ultimately, they came across Russian intellectuals who embraced Name Worshipping—and who would achieve one of the biggest mathematical breakthroughs of the twentieth century, going beyond recent French achievements. Loren Graham and Jean-Michel Kantor take us on an exciting mathematical mystery tour as they unravel a bizarre tale of political struggles, psychological crises, sexual complexities, and ethical dilemmas. At the core of this book is the contest between French and Russian mathematicians who sought new answers to one of the oldest puzzles in math: the nature of infinity. The French school chased rationalist solutions. The Russian mathematicians, notably Dmitri Egorov and Nikolai Luzin—who founded the famous Moscow School of Mathematics—were inspired by mystical insights attained during Name Worshipping. Their religious practice appears to have opened to them visions into the infinite—and led to the founding of descriptive set theory. The men and women of the leading French and Russian mathematical schools are central characters in this absorbing tale that could not be told until now. Naming Infinity is a poignant human interest story that raises provocative questions about science and religion, intuition and creativity.

Book Description
This book is about the technological foundations of the next generation of wireless networks for the mobile Internet. It places special emphasis on physical layer techniques and philosophies used in constructing interference-resistant wireless signals. A theoretical framework is developed around the idea of a post-Shannon approach to designing communications systems, viewing channel phenomena not as sources of degradation but as potential resources for additional information and signal robustness. Calhoun has worked in the wireless industry since 1980. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

Sir Thomas Gresham and Gresham College
Author: Francis Ames-Lewis
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1351899937
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
In March 1997 the Society for Renaissance Studies and Gresham College together organised a conference to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Gresham College’s foundation. The papers delivered at that conference and assembled in this book examine why Gresham College was established, and how its purposes and activities dovetailed with the socio-cultural life of Elizabethan and Stuart London. The first group of papers considers the social and mercantile career of Sir Thomas Gresham within the commercial centre of Elizabethan London; why he wished to establish Gresham College; and what functions he may have intended it to serve. The second group sets the academic activities of the College and its professors within the broader context of contemporary intellectual life. Papers in this group consider in what ways early Gresham professors contributed in particular to developments in the more practical disciplines such as geometry and astronomy.
