The Routledge Handbook of Applied Epistemology

Titolo: The Routledge Handbook of Applied Epistemology
Autori: David Coady, James Chase
Editore: Routledge
Anno pubbl.: 2018-08-20
ISBN: 9781317393146
Proposto a: BCA, BCI

Ref.

Di interesse per riceche in corso. “The Handbook is divided into six sections: the Internet, Politics, Science, Epistemic Institutions, Individual investigators and Theory and Practice in philosophy. Each of these sections is then separated into chapters. By imposing some form of structure on an unstructured new field, the Handbook is successful in offering an overview. While it does not unify applied epistemology, it does introduce the reader to different types of work done in the field in an orderly manner. This effort of categorisation in itself is a worthy achievement. Indeed, because of its structure, the Handbook constitutes a great starting point for scholars who would wish to get acquainted with the field”, dalla recensione disponibile qui: https://doi.org/10.1111/japp.12409

Mechanics

Proposta del 18 febbraio 2023

Titolo: Mechanics
Autori: Keith R. Symon
Editore: Addison-Wesley
Anno pubbl.: 1971
ISBN:
Proposto a: BCI

Ref.

This book was mainly used as a textbook for classical mechanics in the past. It is a book that stands out with mathematical logic and covers many parts in detail. Although this book is somewhat difficult to follow, it covers waves, sound waves, fluid mechanics, and the theory of relativity that are not normally covered in other “intermediate” classical mechanics textbooks

Traité de maçonnerie ancienne

Proposta del 18 febbraio 2023
Titolo: Traité de maçonnerie ancienne
Autori: Alain Popinet
Editore:
Anno pubbl.: 2018-06-06
ISBN: 9782281140750
Proposto a: BCA, BCI

Ref.

Importante trattato sulle murature storiche e sulle metodologie di consolidamento e conservazione ad esse relative (calcoli, materiali, diagnostica…)

Fourier Analysis

Proposta del 14 febbraio 2023

Titolo: Fourier Analysis
Autori: Elias M. Stein, Rami Shakarchi
Editore: Princeton University Press
Anno pubbl.: 2003-04-06
ISBN: 9780691113845
Proposto a: BCI

Ref.

Not only is this a wonderful foundation for Fourier analysis, with a surprising and satisfying application to prime numbers given in the last chapter, it’s a good starting point for analysis as a whole. Stein and Shakarchi have a series of four excellent books on the foundations of analysis, based on a now-famous series of lectures given at Princeton.

This is a really good book to study “Fourier-related stuff” thoroughly in-depth, which is important in all engineering disciplines.

Fundamentals of Physics I

Titolo: Fundamentals of Physics I
Autori: R. Shankar
Editore: Yale University Press
Anno pubbl.: 2019-08-20
ISBN: 9780300243772
Proposto a: BCI

Ref.

“In this concise book, R. Shankar, a well-known physicist and contagiously enthusiastic educator, explains the essential concepts of Newtonian mechanics, special relativity, waves, fluids, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics. Now in an expanded edition-complete with problem sets and answers for course use or self-study-this work provides an ideal introduction for college-level students of physics, chemistry, and engineering; for motivated AP Physics students; and for general readers interested in advances in the sciences. The book begins at the simplest level, develops the basics, and reinforces fundamentals, ensuring a solid foundation in the principles and methods of physics.”

Titolo: Fundamentals of Physics II
Autori: R. Shankar
Editore: Yale University Press
Anno pubbl.: 2020-05-19
ISBN: 9780300243789
Proposto a: BCI

Ref.

“R. Shankar is a well-known physicist and contagiously enthusiastic educator, whose popular online introductory-physics video lectures have been viewed over a million times. In this second book based on his online courses, Shankar explains electromagnetism, optics, and quantum mechanics, developing the basics and reinforcing the fundamentals. With the help of problem sets and answer keys, students learn about the most interesting findings of today&;s research while gaining a firm foundation in the principles and methods of physics.”

Advanced Classical Electromagnetism

Proposta del 12 febbraio 2023

Titolo: Advanced Classical Electromagnetism
Autori: Robert Wald
Editore: Princeton University Press
Anno pubbl.: 2022-02-01
ISBN: 9780691230252
Proposto a: BCI

Ref.

“Electromagnetism is one of the pillars of modern physics. Robert Wald provides graduate students with a clear, concise, and mathematically precise introduction to the subject, covering all the core topics while bringing the teaching of electromagnetism up to date with our modern understanding of the subject. Electromagnetism is usually taught in a quasi-historical fashion, starting from concepts formulated in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but this tends to promote outdated ways of thinking about the theory. Wald begins with Maxwell’s equations—the foundation of electromagnetism—together with the formulas for the energy density, momentum density, and stress tensor of the electromagnetic field. He then proceeds through all the major topics in classical electromagnetism, such as electrostatics, dielectrics, magnetostatics, electrodynamics and radiation, diffraction, and special relativity. The last two chapters discuss electromagnetism as a gauge theory and the notion of a point charge—topics not normally treated in electromagnetism texts.”
