In this post I will talk about some books about quantum mechanics and cosmology that I have read recently. It’s been a while since I’ve commented on a book. Like most of us, I prefer to skip to the next reading rather than synthesise what I learn from the previous one. And that is a... » read more
Until now I had referred to popular science or essays books, but in this post I comment on “No-Nonsense Classical Mechanics” by Jakob Schwichtenberg, which would be more akin to a textbook. The content of the book is an introduction to the different formulations of Classical Mechanics – Newtonian, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian, mainly (*) –... » read more
As I wrote in the post about Logicomix, I wanted to see what result can be achieved using a medium like comics to present and explain scientific concepts. So I tried it with another book: “Mysteries of the Quantum Universe” by the theoretical physicist Thibault Damour and the author of graphic novels Mathieu Burniat. After... » read more
One of my favorite popular science book writer is John D. Barrow. His books focuses on his two academic and research specialties: mathematics and physics. He writes about these matters quite clearly, although in this facet I think there are other authors who elaborate or take more risks to explain complex concepts to a general... » read more
Quantum Computing for the very curious is an interesting content that you can consult on the web Quantum Country and that includes two aspects: Content with which you can learn about quantum computing that is based on a serie of videos by the author Michael Nielsen (assumes some ‘basic’ math background and it goes far... » read more
