Volgens Einstein weten we niet of meetlatten recht zijn en klokken gelijklopen. Hoe kan dat? Als Einsteins theorieën worden uitgelegd, verschuilen natuurkundigen zich vaak achter moeilijke vergelijkingen, terwijl natuurkundige en filosoof Fedde Benedictus laat zien wat Einsteins theorieën ons vertellen over de werkelijkheid om ons heen. In deze zoektocht naar de grenzen van ons begrip, waarin ingewikkelde redeneringen worden afgewisseld met persoonlijke anekdotes, legt Benedictus op een voo...

Zo Natuurlijk - natuurkunde voor evenemententechnici

Dit boek richt zich op de gebieden in de natuurkunde die je tegenkomt in de evenemententechniek. Vanzelfsprekend is er veel ruimte ingericht voor electronica. Elektronica vormt namelijk de basis van alle apparaten die in de evenemententechniek gebruikt worden, zoals mengtafels en lichttafels, dimmers en microfoons. Natuurkundige principes worden uitgelegd op een op evenemententechniek toegespitste manier. Elektriciteit, golfleer en krachten...

The newly revised Twelfth Edition of Cutnell's Physics delivers an effective and accessible introduction to college and university physics. It contains easy-to follow explanations of critical math and problem-solving concepts. From kinematics to work and energy, temperature, heat, electricity, magnetism and optics as well as foundational concepts in more advanced subjects like special relativity, Physics is the ideal introductory text for students from any background. The greatest strength of...

This long-awaited and extensive revision maintains Giancoli's reputation for creating carefully crafted, highly accurate and precise physics texts. Physics for Scientists and Engineers combines outstanding pedagogy with a clear and direct narrative and applications that draw the student into the physics.

The new edition also features an unrivaled suite of media and on-line...

Het voorbije decennium heeft de fysica op nanoschaal een enorme vlucht genomen. Het bestuderen van stucturen ter grootte van een miljoenste van een millimeter heeft ons inzicht in biologische processen op cellulair en moleculair niveau enorm uitgebreid. Biofysici trachten met een heel klein aantal fundamentele concepten en interacties het leven te ontrafelen. Dit vereist echter heel wat abstract denken, wat dit onderwerp voor de meeste studenten dan ook erg moeilijk maakt. Met dit werk prober...
