Physical Reality - Construction or Discovery? (eBook, PDF)

An Introduction to the Methodology and Aims of Physics

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a well-grounded account of the methodology of physics, the structure of physical knowledge and theories, and in particular of the relations between theory and experience. An important feature of the book is that all its essential conclusions are elucidated with the help of representative examples from theoretical, molecular and solid state physics. All young physicists as well as physics teachers will find here valuable insights into the philosophy and tools of their trade.

Autorenporträt

Michael Grodzicki obtained a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Hamburg, Germany, in 1977. After the habilitation in theoretical physics (Hamburg 1986) he worked as research associate at HASYLAB, Hamburg, as Assistant Professor of theoretical organic chemistry at LSU, New Orleans, and was head of the theoretical physics group, University of Lübeck. Since 1998 he is Senior Scientist and Associate Professor (2002-2006; 2009: Hon-Prof.) at the Department of Chemistry and Physics of Materials, University of Salzburg. His scientific research comprises more than 230 publications in mathematical physics, molecular and solid state physics, theoretical chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, mineralogy, and methodology of physics. His book on "Physical Reality" is the result of an almost 40 years lasting teaching experience, especially in theoretical physics and methodology of physics for future high-school teachers.
