Domingo de Soto and the Early Galileo Essays on Intellectual History

Domingo de Soto and the Early Galileo Essays on Intellectual History

The unifying theme in this second volume of essays by William A. Wallace to be published in the Variorum series is signaled in the title of the opening paper: 'Domingo de Soto and the Iberian roots of Galileo's science'. The seven essays in the first part provide textual studies of Soto's early formulations of the laws of falling bodies the context in which they were developed in the 16th century and the ways in which they were transmitted in Spain and Portugal to the early 17th century mainly by Jesuit scholars. The following essays focus on the young Galileo and his work at Pisa and Padua leading to his discovery of the law of uniform acceleration in free fall. Textual evidence is presented for an indirect influence of Soto's work on Galileo mediated by Jesuits who were teaching at Padua in the first decade of the 17th century. | Domingo de Soto and the Early Galileo Essays on Intellectual History

Engineering Surveying

Engineering Surveying

Engineering surveying involves determining the position of natural and man-made features on or beneath the Earth’s surface and utilizing these features in the planning design and construction of works. It is a critical part of any engineering project. Without an accurate understanding of the size shape and nature of the site the project risks expensive and time-consuming errors or even catastrophic failure. This fully updated sixth edition of Engineering Surveying covers all the basic principles and practice of the fundamentals such as vertical control distance angles and position right through to the most modern technologies. It includes:* An introduction to geodesy to facilitate greater understanding of satellite systems* A fully updated chapter on GPS GLONASS and GALILEO for satellite positioning in surveying* All new chapter on the important subject of rigorous estimation of control coordinates* Detailed material on mass data methods of photogrammetry and laser scanning and the role of inertial technology in themWith many worked examples and illustrations of tools and techniques it suits students and professionals alike involved in surveying civil structural and mining engineering and related areas such as geography and mapping.

Twenty-Five Women Who Shaped the Italian Renaissance

Twenty-Five Women Who Shaped the Italian Renaissance

Twenty-Five Women Who Shaped the Italian Renaissance takes readers on a journey through early modern Italy that places women at the heart of the artistic and cultural developments of this transformative era. Highlighted here are figures like Caterina Sforza who defended her city against an invading army; Veronica Franco the Venetian courtesan whose erotic verse enthralled Europe; Sofonisba Anguissola acclaimed for her arresting portraits; Isabella Andreini the original prima donna of Italian theater; and Margherita Sarrocchi the epic poet and mathematics prodigy who corresponded with Galileo Galilei. Though many of their names have been neglected by history the artists writers performers leaders and feminists of Twenty-Five Women Who Shaped the Italian Renaissance overcame daunting obstacles to find their own voices. Excluded from the educational opportunities granted to men often compelled into arranged marriages or confined to the convent and subject to ingrained hostility toward female sexuality each dared to challenge entrenched ideas about what a woman should or could do or be. Springing from a range of backgrounds and circumstances these women defied conventions about the proper place of their sex to make their own mark on the Renaissance. The perfect resource for anyone wishing to broaden their understanding of the Renaissance and early modern women.

The Turing Test Argument

The Turing Test Argument

This book departs from existing accounts of Alan Turing's imitation game and test by placing Turing's proposal in its historical social and cultural context. It reconstructs a controversy in England 1946–1952 over the intellectual capabilities of digital computers which led Turing to propose his test. It argues that the Turing test is best understood not as a practical experiment but as a thought experiment in the modern scientific tradition of Galileo Galilei. The logic of the Turing test argument is reconstructed from the rhetoric of Turing’s irony and wit. Turing believed that learning machines should be understood as a new kind of species and their thinking as different from human thinking and yet capable of imitating it. He thought that the possibilities of the machines he envisioned were not utopian dreams. And yet he hoped that they would rival and surpass chauvinists and intellectuals who sacrifice independent thinking to maintain their power. These would be transformed into ordinary people as work once considered 'intellectual' would be transformed into non-intellectual 'mechanical' work. The Turing Test Argument will appeal to scholars and students in the sciences and humanities and all those interested in Turing's vision of the future of intelligent machines in society and nature.

Fundamentals of Optomechanics

Fundamentals of Optomechanics

When Galileo designed the tube of his first telescope optomechanics was born. Concerned with the shape and position of surfaces in an optical system optomechanics is a subfield of physics that is arguably as old as optics. However while universities offer courses on the subject there is a scarcity in textbook selections that skillfully and properly convey optomechanical fundamentals to aspiring engineers. Complemented by tutorial examples and exercises this textbook rectifies this issue by providing instructors and departments with a better choice for transmitting to students the basic principles of optomechanics and allowing them to comfortably gain familiarity with the field’s content. Practicing optical engineers who engage in self-study and wish to enhance the extent of their knowledge will also find benefit from the vast experience of the authors. The book begins with a discussion of materials based on optomechanical figures of merit and features chapters on windows prisms and lenses. The authors also cover topics related to design parameter mounting small mirrors metal mirrors with a discussion of infrared applications and kinematic design. Overall Fundamentals of Optomechanics outfits students and practitioners with a stellar foundation for exploring the design and support of optical system surfaces under a wide variety of conditions. Provides the fundamentals of optomechanicsPresents self-contained student-friendly prose written by top scientists in the fieldDiscusses materials windows individual lenses and multiple lensesIncludes design mounting and performance of mirrors Includes homework problems and a solutions manual for adopting professors
