Sobre IBD

This new scientific biography explores the influences on, and of, Galileo’s exceptional work, thereby revealing novel connections with the worldviews of his age and beyond.Galileo Galilei’s contribution to science is unquestionable. And his conflict with the church establishment of his time is no less famous. In this book, authored by a physicist and history scholar, Galileo’s life and work are described against a backdrop of the prior scientific state of the art in his various fields of achievement. Particular emphasis is placed on Galileo’s vision of the world in relation to historic and also future cosmological models. The impact of his discoveries and theories for the later development of physics and astronomy is a further focus of the narrative.

  • Mathematical Theory of Advanced Computing
    Wolfgang W. Osterhage / Wolfgang WOsterhage
    This book deals with computer performance by addressing basic preconditions. Besides general considerations about performance, several new approaches are presented. One of them targets memory structures by introducing the possibility of overlapping non-interfering (virtual) address spaces. This approach is based on a newly developed jump transformation between different symbol ...

  • Computer Performance Optimization
    Wolfgang W. Osterhage / Wolfgang WOsterhage
    Computing power performance was important at times when hardware was still expensive, because hardware had to be put to the best use. Later on this criterion was no longer critical, since hardware had become inexpensive. Meanwhile, however, people have realized that performance again plays a significant role, because of the major drain on system resources involved in developing...
