Inscribed "To Dick Feynman -Bill Mcmillan Ucla Chemistry". On P. 121 Feynman Has Underlined "2 To The K Power-1 Must Be A Prime If K Is Odd" And Added A Marginal " 2 To The 9Th - 1 = 511 = 7 X Actually He Uses A Period As A Multiplication Sign 73". Per Ucla William George Mcmillan 1919-2002 Graduated From Ucla With A B.A. In Chemistry In 1941. He Continued His Studies At Columbia University Where He Received An M.S. In Chemistry In 1943 And A Ph.D. In Chemical Physics In 1945. Bill'S Dissertation Research In Statistical Mechanics With Joseph E. Mayer Was Concerned With The Theory Of Solutions. The Results Known As The Mcmillan-Mayer Theory Are Still Widely Cited. From 1944 To 1946 Still At Columbia He Was A Research Chemist On The Manhattan Project Working On The Separation Of U235. Upon Receiving A Guggenheim Fellowship In 1946 Bill Carried Out Research In Nuclear Physics At The University Of Chicago With Edward Teller. In 1947 He Came To Ucla As An Assistant Professor And Rose To The Rank Of Full Professor In 1959. Bill Became Chair Of The Department In 1959 And Served Until 1965. He Led The Department Through A Period Of Rapid Growth And Development Of Its Research And Teaching Programs As Well As Established A Strong Infrastructure. His Strong Leadership Was Instrumental In Bringing The Department To National Attention. Unlike Many In Academe He Thought The Country Was Continually In Mortal Danger From The Soviet Union. He Worked For The Rand Corporation As A Consultant To The U.S. Military And Helped Form The Sage Advisory Committee That Reported On Weapons Tests. At Ucla He Established Defense Science Seminars 1964-66 To Help Revitalize The Contact Between Young Scientists In The Universities And Those In Government Service And In The Defense Community. While On Leave From The University Bill Served From 1966 To 1968 Years As Science Adviser To General William Westmoreland In Vietnam Developing Concepts For Artillery And Military Reconnaissance. Although Much Of His Time Was Spent In Service To The Government Service That Gave Rise To Many Specialized Reports Some Still Classified His Academic Publications Deal With A Wide Variety Of Topics. These Range From The Early Work On Multicomponent Systems To Later Statistical Mechanical And Quantum Mechanical Studies On The Thomas-Fermi Model Of The Atom Transitions In Two-Dimensional Adsorbed Layers Dispersion Forces Between Molecules A Comprehensive Review Of The Virial Theorem And Applications To Ions In Solution. In 1971 Bill Founded Mcmillan Science Associates Which He Built Up Over Subsequent Decades As A Wide-Ranging Consulting Company For High Technology And Military Projects. He Was Interested In Topics As Diverse As Traffic Flow Global Warming Ozone Depletion And Atmospheric Studies Of Venus. Always A Part-Time Faculty Member In His Later Years He Continued His Many Activities After Retirement In 1990. Bill Had A Brilliant Mind And Could Talk And Write About Anything From Planetary Physics To The Thermodynamics Of Solutions. He Was An Enthusiastic And Well-Organized Teacher In Courses Ranging From First-Year Chemistry To Graduate Courses In Quantum Chemistry And Statistical Mechanics. He Would Astonish Students In A Computer Age With Quick "Back Of The Envelope" Calculations. Veteran Department Faculty And Staff Remember His Trenchant Memo "What'S Important" Which Emphasized That Furthering Good Teaching And Research Must Override Everything Else In Department Priorities.

Zeeman, P (Pieter)[1865-1935], Inscribed By Zeeman To Alfred LandeBiblio.com

Researches In Magneto-Optics With Special Reference To The Magnetic Resolution Of Spectrum Lines

1913032015London: Macmillan And Co 1913. First English Language Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good. Xiv 1 219 Pp 4 Pp Ads At Rear. Blue Cloth Gilt And Blindstamped. Seven Line Inscription And Signature Of Zeeman Dated In December 1924 To Alfred Lande. Light Rubbing At Corners And Front Spine Edge Gilt All Present But Not Brilliant Very Faint Dampstaining In Upper Right Third Of Front Cover And Small Area In Upper Corner Of Rear Cover But No Trace On Contents; Otherwise Clean No Fading To Cloth. From Wikipedia: Alfred Landé 1888 -1976 Was A German-American Physicist Known For His Contributions To Quantum Theory. In 1913 Landé Was Sent By Arnold Sommerfeld His Thesis Advisor At The University Of Munich To Be A Special Assistant For Physics To David Hilbert At The University Of Göttingen To Replace Paul Peter Ewald Whom Sommerfeld Had Sent To The Same Position In 1912. Landé Obtained His Doctorate Under Sommerfeld At The University Of Munich Two Weeks Prior To The Start Of The First World War. He Joined The Red Cross And Served For Two Years On The Eastern Front Before Being Invited By Max Born To Join Him At The Artillery Testing Commission One Of The Few Scientific Sections Of The Army. Apart From Their Work On Artillery Location By Sound Ranging They Began To Examine The Cohesive Forces And Compressibility Of Crystals. This Work Led To The Unexpected Result That The Electron Trajectories In Atoms Were Not At All Like Planetary Orbits Which At The Time Was The Usual Understanding Of The Electron In An Atom. Landé Studied Atomic Structure Intensively For The Next Seven Years. In 1916 Sommerfeld Had Begun To Apply The New Atomic Theory To Form A General Quantization Rule. In 1919 Landé Unexpectedly Turned To Spectroscopy Even Though The Continuation Of The Study Of The Spatial Orientation Of The Atoms Was The Most Pressing Problem Of The Time. He Turned To The Problem Of Atoms With Several Electrons In Particular To The Simplest Case The Spectrum Of Helium. The Spectrum Showed Non-Combining Single And Double Actually Triplet As It Turned Out Later Terms So That It Seemed As If Helium Was Made Of Two Different Substances Which Is Explained Today As The Result Of Electron Spin. Landé's Work Contained Several New Important Ideas Including The Rule Of Vector Addition Of Two Quantum-Mechanical Angular Momenta J1 And J2. His Findings And Postulates Were Later Confirmed By Quantum Theory. Landé's Frankfurt Investigations December 1920 Until April 1921 Ended With The Discovery Of The Well-Known Landé G-Formula And An Explanation For The Anomalous Zeeman Effect. The Landé G-Factor Is Now Defined Through Mj The Magnetic Quantum Number. In 1923 Landé Stated The Landé Interval Rule A Rule Dealing With The Relation Between An Electron's Spin And Orbit. Landé Was A Forerunner In A Phase Of New Interpretation Of Quantum Theory From Which Concrete Physical Statements About Experimentally Verifiable Facts Can Be Made. This Happened After The First Phase Of The Interpretation Of The Theory With Well-Known Discussions Between Niels Bohr Werner Heisenberg And Wolfgang Pauli Who Favoured The Copenhagen Interpretation Opposed In Varying Degrees By Erwin Schrödinger Louis De Broglie And Most Notably Albert Einstein. After 1950 And For The Rest Of His Life Landé Turned Energetically Against The Copenhagen Interpretation Of Quantum Theory Requiring As Did Einstein An Objectively Real Description Of Physical Processes. This Change Was Driven By Landé's Perception That Wave-Particle Duality Was An Unnecessary Misrepresentation Of Quantum Processes That He Explained By Developing A New Unitary Particle Formulation Without Dualistic Reference To Waves. Landé Based His New Formulation Upon Non-Quantal Principles Of Symmetry And Invariance With Duane's Rule For Quantisation Of Momentum Exchange With Space-Periodic Structures And Leibniz's Principle Of Cause-Effect Continuity To Explain The Intrinsically Probabilistic Nature Of Quantum Processes. His Interpretation Is Considered A Minority Interpretation. Macmillan And Co hardcover

The Recollections of Eugene P. Wigner as Told to Andrew Szanton

1992052807Plenum Press 1992. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Xxiv 335 Pp. Black Boards Spine Gilt. First Printing No Additional Printing Indicated. Fine In Fine Dust Jacket Priced $24.50. Laid In Loosely Is A Gift Card Signed By Wigner And Dated In 1965. Per Wikikpedia Eugene Paul Wigner 1902 - 1995 Was A Hungarian-American Theoretical Physicist Who Also Contributed To Mathematical Physics. He Received The Nobel Prize In Physics In 1963 "For His Contributions To The Theory Of The Atomic Nucleus And The Elementary Particles Particularly Through The Discovery And Application Of Fundamental Symmetry Principles". A Graduate Of The Technical Hochschule Berlin Now Technische Universität Berlin Wigner Worked As An Assistant To Karl Weissenberg And Richard Becker At The Kaiser Wilhelm Institute In Berlin And David Hilbert At The University Of Göttingen. Wigner And Hermann Weyl Were Responsible For Introducing Group Theory Into Physics Particularly The Theory Of Symmetry In Physics. Along The Way He Performed Ground-Breaking Work In Pure Mathematics In Which He Authored A Number Of Mathematical Theorems. In Particular Wigner's Theorem Is A Cornerstone In The Mathematical Formulation Of Quantum Mechanics. He Is Also Known For His Research Into The Structure Of The Atomic Nucleus. In 1930 Princeton University Recruited Wigner Along With John Von Neumann And He Moved To The United States Where He Obtained Citizenship In 1937. Wigner Participated In A Meeting With Leo Szilard And Albert Einstein That Resulted In The Einstein-Szilard Letter Which Prompted President Franklin D. Roosevelt To Authorize The Creation Of The Advisory Committee On Uranium With The Purpose Of Investigating The Feasibility Of Nuclear Weapons. Wigner Was Afraid That The German Nuclear Weapon Project Would Develop An Atomic Bomb First. During The Manhattan Project He Led A Team Whose Task Was To Design Nuclear Reactors To Convert Uranium Into Weapons Grade Plutonium. At The Time Reactors Existed Only On Paper And No Reactor Had Yet Gone Critical. Wigner Was Disappointed That Dupont Was Given Responsibility For The Detailed Design Of The Reactors Not Just Their Construction. He Became Director Of Research And Development At The Clinton Laboratory Now The Oak Ridge National Laboratory In Early 1946 But Became Frustrated With Bureaucratic Interference By The Atomic Energy Commission And Returned To Princeton. In The Postwar Period He Served On A Number Of Government Bodies Including The National Bureau Of Standards From 1947 To 1951 The Mathematics Panel Of The National Research Council From 1951 To 1954 The Physics Panel Of The National Science Foundation And The Influential General Advisory Committee Of The Atomic Energy Commission From 1952 To 1957 And Again From 1959 To 1964. In Later Life He Became More Philosophical And Published The Unreasonable Effectiveness Of Mathematics In The Natural Sciences His Best-Known Work Outside Technical Mathematics And Physics.

Chien-Shiung Wu Chinese: ; 1912 - 1997 Was A Chinese-American Particle And Experimental Physicist Who Made Significant Contributions In The Field Of Nuclear And Particle Physics. Wu Worked On The Manhattan Project Where She Helped Develop The Process For Separating Uranium Into Uranium-235 And Uranium-238 Isotopes By Gaseous Diffusion.

Her Expertise In Experimental Physics Evoked Comparisons To Marie Curie. Her Nicknames Include The "First Lady Of Physics" The "Chinese Madame Curie" And The "Queen Of Nuclear Research". In September 1944 Wu Was Contacted By The Manhattan District Engineer Colonel Kenneth Nichols. Wu Was Frustrated With Her Lack Of Professorships And Volunteered To Help Out In The Project. The Newly Commissioned B Reactor The First Practical Nuclear Reactor Ever Built Which Was Located At The Hanford Site Had Run Into An Unexpected Problem Starting Up And Shutting Down At Regular Intervals. John Archibald Wheeler And Partner Enrico Fermi Suspected That A Fission Product Xe-135 With A Half-Life Of 9.4 Hours Was The Culprit And Might Be A Neutron Poison Or Absorber. Segrè Then Remembered The 1940 Phd Thesis That Wu Had Done For Him At Berkeley On The Radioactive Isotopes Of Xe And Told Fermi To "Ask Ms. Wu". After Fermi Contacted Wu Segrè Visited Her Dorm Room Together With Nichols And Collected The Typewritten Draft Prepared For The Physical Review. The Suspicions Of Fermi And Wheeler Came True Wu's Paper Unknowingly Verified That Xe-135 Was Indeed The Culprit For The B Reactor; It Turned Out To Have An Unexpectedly Large Neutron Absorption Cross-Section. Wu Also Used Her Findings In Radioactive Uranium Separation To Build The Standard Model For Producing Enriched Uranium To Fuel The Atomic Bombs At The Oak Ridge Tennessee Facility As Well As Build Innovative Geiger Counters. Wu Like Most Involved Physicists In Their Later Years Distanced Herself From The Manhattan Project Due To Its Destructive Outcome And Recommended To The Taiwanese President Chiang Kai-Shek In 1962 To Never Build Nuclear Weapons. In November 1949 Wu Experimented With The Conclusions Of Einstein's Epr Thought Experiment Which Called Quantum Entanglement "Spooky Action At A Distance". Wu Managed To Be The First To Establish The Phenomenon And Validity Of Entanglement Using Photons Through Observing Angular Correlation. Specifically The Experiment Carried Out By Wu Was The First Important Confirmation Of Quantum Results Relevant To A Pair Of Entangled Photons As Applicable To The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Epr Paradox. In Her Post-War Research Wu Continued To Investigate Beta Decay. In 1949 Wu Completely Established Fermi's Theory And Showed How Beta Decay Worked Especially In Creating Electrons Neutrinos And Positrons.At Columbia Wu Knew The Chinese-Born Theoretical Physicist Tsung-Dao Lee Personally. In The Mid-1950S Lee And Another Chinese Theoretical Physicist Chen Ning Yang Grew To Question A Hypothetical Law Of Elementary Particle Physics The "Law Of Conservation Of Parity". The Discovery Of Parity Violation Was A Major Contribution To Particle Physics And The Development Of The Standard Model.

Inscribed By The Author To A Caltech Professor Jerry Solomon: " To Jerry With High Hopes For A Deeper Understanding Of The Laws Of Nature C A Mead". As New In As New Dj. Per Wikipedia Carver Andress Mead Born 1934 Is An American Scientist And Engineer. He Currently Holds The Position Of Gordon And Betty Moore Professor Emeritus Of Engineering And Applied Science At The California Institute Of Technology Caltech Having Taught There For Over 40 Years. He Taught Deborah Chung The First Female Engineering Graduate Of Caltech. He Advised The First Female Electrical Engineering Student At Caltech Louise Kirkbride. His Contributions As A Teacher Include The Classic Textbook Introduction To Vlsi Systems 1980 Which He Coauthored With Lynn Conway. A Pioneer Of Modern Microelectronics He Has Made Contributions To The Development And Design Of Semiconductors Digital Chips And Silicon Compilers Technologies Which Form The Foundations Of Modern Very-Large-Scale Integration Chip Design. In The 1980S He Focused On Electronic Modelling Of Human Neurology And Biology Creating "Neuromorphic Electronic Systems."567 Mead Has Been Involved In The Founding Of More Than 20 Companies.8 Most Recently He Has Called For The Reconceptualization Of Modern Physics Revisiting The Theoretical Debates Of Niels Bohr Albert Einstein And Others In Light Of Later Experiments And Developments In Instrumentation. Carver Mead Has Developed An Approach He Calls Collective Electrodynamics In Which Electromagnetic Effects Including Quantized Energy Transfer Are Derived From The Interactions Of The Wavefunctions Of Electrons Behaving Collectively.68 In This Formulation The Photon Is A Non-Entity And Planck's Energy-Frequency Relationship Comes From The Interactions Of Electron Eigenstates. The Approach Is Related To John Cramer's Transactional Interpretation Of Quantum Mechanics To The Wheeler-Feynman Absorber Theory Of Electrodynamics And To Gilbert N. Lewis's Early Description Of Electromagnetic Energy Exchange At Zero IntervalClarification Needed In Spacetime. Although This Reconceptualization Does Not Pertain To Gravitation A Gravitational Extension Of It Makes Predictions That Differ From General Relativity. For Instance Gravitational Waves Should Have A Different Polarization Under "G4v" The Name Given To This New Theory Of Gravity. Moreover This Difference In Polarization Can Be Detected By Advanced Ligo. The MIT Press hardcover
