Thomas Hertog was born on 27 May 1975. He graduated Summa cum laude from KU Leuven in 1997 with an MSc degree in physics. He obtained his Master's degree at the University of Cambridge in Part III of the Mathematical Tripos and obtained a Ph.D. degree at Cambridge with a thesis on the origins of cosmic expansion under the supervision of Stephen Hawking.
John Robert Taylor is British-born emeritus professor of physics at the University of Colorado, Boulder. [1] He received his B.A. in mathematics at Cambridge University, and his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1963 with thesis advisor Geoffrey Chew. [2] [3] Taylor has written several college-level physics textbooks.
John R. Gribbin (born 19 March 1946) [1] is a British science writer, an astrophysicist, and a visiting fellow in astronomy at the University of Sussex. [2] His writings include quantum physics, human evolution, climate change, global warming, the origins of the universe, and biographies of famous scientists.
Friedlander was born in Cape Town, South Africa in 1928. He attained his BSc in Physics and Applied mathematics at the University of Cape Town in 1948, followed by a MSc (Physics, First Class) in 1950. He served as a junior lecturer in physics at the University of Cape Town from 1951 to 1952. [1] [2]
Gerald Lawrence Schroeder (born 20 February 1938) is an American-Israeli Orthodox Jewish physicist, author, lecturer, and teacher at College of Jewish Studies Aish HaTorah's Discovery Seminar, Essentials and Fellowships programs and Executive Learning Center, [1] who focuses on what he perceives to be an inherent relationship between science and spirituality.
In The New York Review of Books, Martin Gardner praised The First Three Minutes as "science writing at its best." [5] In The New Yorker, Jeremy Bernstein wrote that "Weinberg builds such a convincing case...that one comes away from his book feeling not only that the idea of an original cosmic explosion is not crazy but that any other theory is scientifically irrational."
For physics papers the Physics and Astronomy Classification Scheme (PACS) is often used. Due to the large overlap between mathematics and physics research it is quite common to see both PACS and MSC codes on research papers, particularly for multidisciplinary journals and repositories such as the arXiv .
It is usual for there to be some variation in the MPhys schemes, to allow for students to study the area of physics which most interests them. For example, Lancaster University's physics department offer the following [8] schemes: MPhys Physics; MPhys Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology; MPhys Physics with Particle Physics and Cosmology
