Bust of Schrödinger, in the courtyard arcade of the main building, University of Vienna, Austria Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger (UK: / ˈ ʃ r ɜː d ɪ ŋ ə, ˈ ʃ r oʊ d ɪ ŋ ə /, US: / ˈ ʃ r oʊ d ɪ ŋ ər /; [3] German: [ˈɛɐ̯vɪn ˈʃʁøːdɪŋɐ]; 12 August 1887 – 4 January 1961), sometimes written as Schroedinger or Schrodinger, was a Nobel Prize–winning ...
Erwin, his only son, circa 1914. Schrödinger married the second of the three daughters—Georgine Emilia Brenda—of Alexander Bauer, his former professor; [3] he had only one child with her, Erwin Schrödinger, who would go on to become one of the most preeminent physicists ever, remarked especially for his contributions to quantum mechanics, including the formulation of the Schrödinger ...
What Is Life? The Physical Aspect of the Living Cell is a 1944 science book written for the lay reader by the physicist Erwin Schrödinger.The book was based on a course of public lectures delivered by Schrödinger in February 1943, under the auspices of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, where he was Director of Theoretical Physics, at Trinity College, Dublin.
Research concerning the relationship between the thermodynamic quantity entropy and both the origin and evolution of life began around the turn of the 20th century. In 1910 American historian Henry Adams printed and distributed to university libraries and history professors the small volume A Letter to American Teachers of History proposing a theory of history based on the second law of ...
In information theory and statistics, negentropy is used as a measure of distance to normality. [4] [5] [6] Out of all distributions with a given mean and variance, the normal or Gaussian distribution is the one with the highest entropy.
Boutet de Monvel is the author of Spectral theory and wave operators for the Schrödinger equation (Pitman, 1982). [3] With Werner Amrein and Vladimir Georgescu she is the co-author of Hardy type inequalities for abstract differential operators (American Mathematical Society, 1987) [4] and -groups, commutator methods and spectral theory of -body Hamiltonians (Birkhäuser, 1996).
When it comes to selecting short and sometimes long quotations, he is no compiler like John Bartlett of quotation fame, but he does find time to make a few deft personal observations. [2] Erwin Schrodinger, in his What is Life? The Physical Aspect of the Living Cell, described the book as "very appropriately" titled and "beautiful".
Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac was born at his parents' home in Bristol, England, on 8 August 1902, [43] and grew up in the Bishopston area of the city. [44] His father, Charles Adrien Ladislas Dirac, was an immigrant from Saint-Maurice, Switzerland, of French descent, [45] who worked in Bristol as a French teacher.
