IAG 137 VII Hotine-Marussi (Rome 2009)


IAG 137 is the proceedings of the VII Hotine-Marussi Symposium on Mathematical Geodesy. The symposium was held in University of Rome in June 2009. The proceedings was edited by Nico Sneeuw, Pavel Novak, Mattia Crespi and Fernando Sanso. The symposium was held to commemorate the 50 years anniversary Hotine-Marussi symposia. The first event was held in Venice in July 1959. The first symposia then was named the 1st Symposium on Three Dimensional Geodesy.

Buku Tycho & Kepler (2002)

Buku terbitan tahun 2002.

Tycho & Kepler

The story of how Copernicus replaced the prevailing geocentric view of the universe with his heliocentric model is a familiar one. Less familiar are Tycho Brahe’s contributions to astronomy and his influence on Johannes Kepler, who revolutionized 17th-century thinking about planetary movements. Science writer Ferguson’s intellectual and cultural biography of these two seminal scientists provides a delightful, detailed look into the ways that each man developed his ideas about the universe. Brahe, a Danish nobleman, developed a variety of instruments for observing the heavens. In his observatory off the coast of Denmark, he built a magnificent armillary-an instrument that allowed him to construct his theory that Venus and Mercury orbit the Sun while the Sun and the outer planets orbit the unmoving Earth. In 1600, Brahe took on a brilliant young student named Kepler, whom Brahe asked to carry on his own work after his death. Though indebted to Brahe for his instruments and his detailed charts of the stars, ultimately Kepler departed from Brahe’s views, confirming instead Copernicus’s theory that all the planets orbit the Sun. More famously, he discovered that the planets had elliptical rather than circular orbit.
