Astronomy is a scienti?c discipline that has developed a rapid and impressive growth in Spain. Thirty years ago, Spain occupied a purely anecdotal presence in the international context, but today it occupies the eighth position in the world in publication of astronomical articles, and, among other successes, owns and op- ates ninety per cent of the world’s largest optical telescope GTC (Gran Telescopio Canarias). The Eighth Scienti?c Meeting of the Spanish Astronomical Society (Sociedad Espanol ̃ a de Astronom ́ a, SEA), held in Santander in July 7–11 2008, whose p- ceedings are in your hands, clearly shows the enthusiasm, motivation and quality of the present Spanish astronomical comm...
Les 15 grandes leçons ici rassemblées exposent, dans un style vivant, les développements les plus spectaculaires de la physique fondamentale contemporaine. Une place importante sera consacrée aux applications et développements récents que l’on appelle souvent la seconde ère quantique, tels que les nanotechnologies ou les « q bits » de l’information quantique, l’ordinateur quantique et la cryptographie, la cosmologie et les ondes gravitationnelles.
Variational principles have proven to be surprisingly fertile. For example, Fermat used variational methods to demonstrate that light follows the fastest route from one point to another, an idea which came to be a cornerstone of geometrical optics. This book explains variational principles and charts their use throughout modern physics. It examines the analytical mechanics of Lagrange and Hamilton, the basic tools of any physicist. The book also offers simple but rich first impressions of Einstein’s General Relativity, Feynman’s Quantum Mechanics, and more that reveal amazing interconnections between various fields of physics.
This book contains the proceedings of the International Astronomical Union Symposium no. 225, held in July 2004 at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), in Lausanne, Switzerland. The meeting focused on the applications of gravitational lensing to cosmological physics, and this book summarizes the most recent theoretical and observational developments. With chapters written by leading scientists in the field, this is a valuable resource for professional astronomers and graduate students in astronomy, physics and astro-particle physics.
The proceedings of MG16 give a broad view of all aspects of gravitational physics and astrophysics, from mathematical issues to recent observations and experiments. The scientific program of the meeting included 46 plenary presentations, 3 public lectures, 5 round tables and 81 parallel sessions arranged during the intense six-day online meeting. All talks were recorded and are available on the ICRANet YouTube channel at the following link: www.icranet.org/video_mg16.These proceedings are a representative sample of the very many contributions made at the meeting. They contain 383 papers, among which 14 come from the plenary sessions.The material represented in these proceedings cover the fol...
Proceedings of the 4th Scientific Meeting of the Spanish Astronomical Society (SEA), held in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, September 11-14, 2000
Présents dans tous les domaines de la recherche en physique, les principes variationnels ont la double caractéristique d'être universels et de montrer que leurs lois peuvent être énoncées comme résultant de « situations d'équilibre optimales » entre causes en conflit. Ils présentent les phénomènes naturels comme des problèmes d'optimisation sous contraintes (ex. le principe de monde action). Ils ont produit des résultats physiques de plus en plus riches dont beaucoup sont à la base de la physique et de l’astrophysique contemporaine. Rédigé pour les étudiants en Masters de Physique et de Physique-chimie ainsi que pour les élèves des écoles d’ingénieur, cette 4e édi...
