Engineering is where human knowledge meets real-world problems—and solves them. It's the source of some of our greatest inventions, from the catapult to the jet engine. Marshall Brain, creator of the How Stuff Works series and a professor at the Engineering Entrepreneurs Program at NCSU, provides a detailed look at 250 milestones in the discipline. He covers the various areas, including chemical, aerospace, and computer engineering, from ancient history to the present. The topics include architectural wonders like the Acropolis, the Great Wall of China, and the Eiffel Tower; transportation advances such as the high-speed bullet train; medical innovations, including the artificial heart and kidney dialysis; developments in communications, such as the cell phone; as well as air conditioning, Wi-Fi, the Large Hadron Collider, the self-driving car, and more.

Можете представить себе что-нибудь огромнее Вселенной, но в то же время спокойно помещающееся в вашей голове? Что же это такое? Бесконечность!
Юджиния Ченг отправляет нас в потрясающее математическое путешествие, чтобы разобраться в самых загадочных математических абстракциях.
Почему некоторые числа невозможно сосчитать?
Почему бесконечность + 1 не то же самое, что 1 + бесконечность?
Мы узнаем о парадоксе «Гранд-отеля», сможем накормить 7 миллиардов человек с помощью шахматной доски и даже получим бесконечное количество печенек из маленького (конечного) кусочка теста. Всё это позволит понять и полюбить такую странную и загадочную абстрактную математику.
Невероятная книга об огромной и бесконечной Вселенной увлекает и интригует, показывая, как один маленький математический символ вмещает в себя огромную идею.

Величина скорости — понятие, конечно, относительное. В технике и природе встречаются чрезвычайно различные скорости. Например, геологические изменения, приводящие к подъему или опусканию земной поверхности, протекают со скоростями, равными долям миллиметра в год. По сравнению с этим скорость перемещения улитки покажется грандиозной...

Название: Who We Are and How We Got Here: Ancient DNA and the New Science of the Human Past
Автор: David Reich

Год: 2018
Формат: EPUB

Язык: английский / English

Geneticists like David Reich have made astounding advances in the field of genomics, which is proving to be as important as archeology, linguistics, and written records as a means to understand our ancestry. In Who We Are and How We Got Here, Reich allows readers to discover how the human genome provides not only all the information a human embryo needs to develop but also the hidden story of our species. Reich delves into how the genomic revolution is transforming our understanding of modern humans and how DNA studies reveal deep inequalities among different populations, between the sexes, and among individuals. Provocatively, Reich’s book suggests that there might very well be biological differences among human populations but that these differences are unlikely to conform to common stereotypes.
