Opis

For thousands of years we have been trying to understand nature. Exploring the outer as well as the inner world with instruments of ever greater sophistication, we have been able to unravel some of the mysteries that surround us. Apart from just collecting an overwhelming multitude of facts, we have uncovered fundamental laws that govern the structure and evolution of physical reality. What we have learned from observation is that nature talks to us in the language of mathematics. In this language, most of our basic understanding can be expressed in an unambiguous and concise way. The laws take the form of equations, probably the most compact expression of human knowledge. The equations thus form the symbolic representation of the most important and robust part of our culture. The equations are icons of knowledge and mark the crucial turning points in our understanding. Publication coincides the World Year of Physics: "http://www.wyp2005.nl">www.wyp2005.nl "This beautifully designed book deserves a place on the coffee table .[..] Sander Bais confides the reader in the exciting secrets of the laws of nature, and does so in a clear, surprisingly poetic language." "The Equations is a catalogue. A catalogue that belongs to an exhibition of 17 typographic works of art - which gallery will frame them and hang them on the wall? The formulas, displayed in white symbols on a bright red background, are of an untouchable beauty ." 'Untouchable icons' - NRC Handelsblad "The Equations is an absolute feast for everyone who is interested in what physicists have to say about the structure of the world and the beauty that emanates from this. It is a jewel of knowledge, written with love for the field but also with a great compassion for the reader." 'Knowledge smoothly surpasses the fear of formulas' - de Volkskrant
