Description: ISBN10: 0465018270, ISBN13: 9780465018277, [publisher: Basic Books, United States] Softcover Paul Dirac was among the great scientific geniuses of the modern age. One of the discoverers of quantum mechanics, the most revolutionary theory of the past century, his contributions had a unique insight, eloquence, clarity, and mathematical power. His prediction of antimatter was one of the greatest triumphs in the history of physics. One of Einsteins most admired colleagues, Dirac was in 1933 the youngest theoretician ever to win the Nobel Prize in physics. Diracs personality is legendary. He was an extraordinarily reserved loner, relentlessly literal-minded and appeared to have no empathy with most people. Yet he was a family man and was intensely loyal to his friends. His tastes in the arts ranged from Beethoven to Cher, from Rembrandt to Mickey Mouse. Based on previously undiscovered archives, The Strangest Man reveals the many facets of Diracs brilliantly original mind. A compelling human story, The Strangest Man also depicts a spectacularly exciting era in scientific history. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. [Goring-By-Sea, WS, United Kingdom] [Publication Year: 2009]

Description: New York: Basic Books, Date: 2009. First Printing. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. [10], 539 pages. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Front free endpaper and half-title page creased. Graham Paul Farmelo (born 18 May 1953) is a biographer and science writer, a Fellow at Churchill College, University of Cambridge, U.K., and an Adjunct Professor of Physics at Northeastern University, Boston, U.S.A. He is best known for his work on science communication and as the author of The Strangest Man, a prize-winning biography of the theoretical physicist Paul Dirac. Farmelo is author of 'The Universe Speaks in Numbers', published in May 2019. It explores the relationship between mathematics and the search for the laws of physics, and highlights the contributions of several theoretical physicists, natural philosophers and mathematicians, notably Isaac Newton, Pierre-Simon Laplace, James Clerk Maxwell, Albert Einstein and Paul Dirac, before focussing on key developments on the mathematics-physics interface from the 1970s. Among the physicists and mathematicians whose work Farmelo discusses are Nima Arkani-Hamed, Michael Atiyah, Simon Donaldson, Michael Green, John Henry Schwarz, Nathan Seiberg, Gabriele Veneziano, Edward Witten and Chen-Ning Yang. Farmelo's Dirac biography ?The Strangest Man? won the 2009 Costa Prize for Biography and the 2009 'Los Angeles Times Science and Technology Book Prize'. The book was chosen by Physics World as the physics book of the year in 2009, and was selected as one of Nature?s books of the year. Much of the book was written while Farmelo was a Director?s visitor at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. Paul Dirac (1902-1984) was an English theoretical physicist who made fundamental contributions to the early development of both quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics. One of Albert Einstein's most admired colleagues, Dirac won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1933 for his work on atomic theory, the youngest theoretician ever to win the prize in physics. Derived from a Kirkus review: Along with Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, Pauli and Schrödinger, Paul Dirac was a giant of 20th-century physics, and this rich, satisfying biography does him justice. During the 1920s, using dazzling mathematical skills, Dirac combined Einstein?s theory of relativity with Schrödinger and Heisenberg?s theories of quantum physics. This inspired work, which predicted the existence of antimatter, remains essential to physicists probing the frontiers of knowledge. Dirac?s brilliance and oddity were apparent from adolescence. He studied engineering at a local college. Despite little mechanical ability, he quickly moved to the head of his class. He showed no interest in games, culture or socializing, made few friends and rarely spoke in class. When not in school, he preferred to study in the library. Fortunately, several teachers recognized his talents and used their influence to obtain a scholarship from Cambridge. Entering in 1923, he quickly displayed mathematical insights that laid the foundation of quantum mechanics. In 1933, he shared the Nobel Prize for physics with Schrödinger. After winning the award, Dirac continued to produce original ideas and contributed to atomic research during World War II. Farmelo works successfully to explain Dirac?s accomplishments, but readers will love the nuanced portrayal of an introverted eccentric who held his own in a small clique of revolutionary scientific geniuses. 2009.

Much of the book was written while Farmelo was a Director? s visitor at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. Paul Dirac (1902-1984) was an English theoretical physicist who made fundamental contributions to the early development of both quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics. One of Albert Einstein's most admired colleagues, Dirac won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1933 for his work on atomic theory, the youngest theoretician ever to win the prize in physics. Derived from a Kirkus review: Along with Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, Pauli and Schrödinger, Paul Dirac was a giant of 20th-century physics, and this rich, satisfying biography does him justice. During the 1920s, using dazzling mathematical skills, Dirac combined Einstein? s theory of relativity with Schrödinger and Heisenberg? s theories of quantum physics. This inspired work, which predicted the existence of antimatter, remains essential to physicists probing the frontiers of knowledge. Dirac? s brilliance and oddity were apparent from adolescence. He studied engineering at a local college. Despite little mechanical ability, he quickly moved to the head of his class. He showed no interest in games, culture or socializing, made few friends and rarely spoke in class. When not in school, he preferred to study in the library. Fortunately, several teachers recognized his talents and used their influence to obtain a scholarship from Cambridge. Entering in 1923, he quickly displayed mathematical insights that laid the foundation of quantum mechanics. In 1933, he shared the Nobel Prize for physics with Schrödinger. After winning the award, Dirac continued to produce original ideas and contributed to atomic research during World War II. Farmelo works successfully to explain Dirac? s accomplishments, but readers will love the nuanced portrayal of an introverted eccentric who held his own in a small clique of revolutionary scientific geniuses.

Front free endpaper and half-title page creased. Graham Paul Farmelo (born 18 May 1953) is a biographer and science writer, a Fellow at Churchill College, University of Cambridge, U.K., and an Adjunct Professor of Physics at Northeastern University, Boston, U.S.A. He is best known for his work on science communication and as the author of The Strangest Man, a prize-winning biography of the theoretical physicist Paul Dirac. Farmelo is author of 'The Universe Speaks in Numbers', published in May 2019. It explores the relationship between mathematics and the search for the laws of physics, and highlights the contributions of several theoretical physicists, natural philosophers and mathematicians, notably Isaac Newton, Pierre-Simon Laplace, James Clerk Maxwell, Albert Einstein and Paul Dirac, before focussing on key developments on the mathematics-physics interface from the 1970s. Among the physicists and mathematicians whose work Farmelo discusses are Nima Arkani-Hamed, Michael Atiyah, Simon Donaldson, Michael Green, John Henry Schwarz, Nathan Seiberg, Gabriele Veneziano, Edward Witten and Chen-Ning Yang. Farmelo's Dirac biography ?The Strangest Man? won the 2009 Costa Prize for Biography and the 2009 'Los Angeles Times Science and Technology Book Prize'. The book was chosen by Physics World as the physics book of the year in 2009, and was selected as one of Nature?s books of the year.
