      Gowers, Timothy – wissenschaftliche Abhandlungen und Erläuterungen

      3.4(11)Add rating

      Mathematik macht Spaß! Timothy Gowers begeistert für ein nicht gerade mit Enthusiasmus wahrgenommenes Thema: Etwa am Beispiel der Flugbahn eines Balles vermittelt er, was ein mathematisches Modell ausmacht. Und was für eine Rolle spielen Zahlen und Abstraktion in der Mathematik? Oder warum kann man einen gelungenen mathematischen Beweis als »schön« bezeichnen? Wozu dienen Grenzwerte und die Unendlichkeit? Und wie funktionieren Geometrie und Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung? Seine Einführung wird damit zu einem Denkabenteuer, das Berührungsängste nimmt und den Spaß an diesem faszinierenden Thema dem Leser (vielleicht erstmals) zeigen kann.

      The aim of this volume is to explain the differences between research-level mathematics and the maths taught at school. Most differences are philosophical and the first few chapters are about general aspects of mathematical thought.

      Do you have a soul? How can you know? Can science demonstrate its existence? What difference does it make? These are among the difficult and important questions at the heart of Beyond Death. In the wake of the revolution of quantum physics, an increasing number of scientists have acknowledged the very real possibility of the existence of spirit or soul. Beyond Death sets out to prove the existence of spirit and its survival after death, not by appealing to some airy-fairy new age theory or religious dogma, but from empirical evidence gathered by qualified researchers from a number of scientific disciplines. Mind-matter interaction, research into healing and remote viewing, consciousness at the cellular level, near-death experiences and biological evidence of reincarnation are among the many perspectives from which this crucial subject is explored. What does this mean to you? Imagine it is after your "death" and you are looking back on this, your past life. Ask yourself what kind of life from here onward would please you as a spirit? What personal challenges met, fears overcome, actions taken and deeds done would make you proud? By answering this question now and moving on through life with that answer always present in your heart, you will have unlocked the secret of spirit and the true purpose of your life.
