 Marion Paoletti, "Scientific Excellence and Equality at University" English | ISBN: 1032916486 | 2025 | 226 pages | EPUB | 1311 KB Based on the EU-funded project RESET (Redesigning Equality and Scientific Excellence Together) and written by members of seven European partner universities representing different disciplines, this book combines theory and practice to discuss and reflect on the concept of scientific excellence within higher education. It considers the pitfalls and the need to revisit an understanding of inclusivity by asking how scientific excellence and professional equality can be made compatible in practice.  Scientific Computing with Python: Numerical Simulation Across Physics, Chemistry, and Biology: A Comprehensive Guide English | 30 Dec. 2025 | ASIN: B0GD75ZRZ3 | 430 pages | Epub | 730.31 KB Reactive Publishing Scientific Computing with Python is a practical, research-grade guide to using Python as a unified platform for numerical simulation across physics, chemistry, and biology. Written for scientists, engineers, and advanced practitioners, this book focuses on how real scientific computation is actually done: discretizing continuous systems, solving large numerical problems efficiently, and turning mathematical models into reliable simulations. Rather than teaching Python from scratch, the book treats Python as a high-level orchestration layer sitting atop high-performance numerical libraries. You'll learn how modern scientific workflows leverage vectorization, linear algebra backends, sparse methods, and optimized solvers to model complex physical, chemical, and biological systems with accuracy and scale. The book moves fluidly across domains to show how the same numerical ideas reappear everywhere: time-stepping in dynamical systems, partial differential equations, stochastic simulation, optimization, and Monte Carlo methods. Examples span classical mechanics, transport phenomena, reaction kinetics, population dynamics, and systems biology-revealing a shared computational backbone beneath diverse scientific fields. Emphasis is placed on numerical stability, error analysis, performance trade-offs, and reproducibility, critical concerns for anyone doing serious scientific or research work. Readers will gain intuition for when approximations break down, how to structure simulations that scale, and how to bridge theory with computation in a disciplined way. This book is ideal for researchers, graduate students, quantitative scientists, and engineers who already know basic Python and want to use it as a powerful scientific instrument rather than a scripting toy. If you work at the boundary between mathematics, computation, and the natural sciences, this book shows how Python becomes the connective tissue that turns equations into experiments.  Science, Art and Nature in Medieval and Modern Thought By A. C. Crombie 2003 | 533 Pages | ISBN: 1852850671 | PDF | 10 MB A.C. Crombie sees the history of Western Science as the history of a vision and an argument, initiated by the ancient Greeks in their search for principles at once of nature and of argument itself. This scientific vision explored and controlled by argument, and the diversification of both vision and argument by scientific experience and by interaction with the wider contexts of intellectual culture, constitute the long history of European scientific thought. Underlying that development have been specific commitments to conceptions of nature and of Science and its intellectual and moral assumptions, accompanied by a recurrent critique; their diversification has generated a series of different styles of scientific thinking and of making theoretical and practical decisions which he describes and analyses.  Science in the New Russia: Crisis, Aid, Reform By Loren Graham, Irina Dezhina 2008 | 216 Pages | ISBN: 0253219884 | PDF | 2 MB The Russian science establishment was one of the largest in the world, boasting many Nobel prizes, a world-leading space program, and famous schools in mathematics, physics, and other fields. However, when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the major financial supports for the scientific community were eliminated, with resulting "brain drain." The subsequent expansion of capitalism and globalization revealed that Russian science was ill adapted to compete with other countries in high technology. Science in the New Russia tells the dramatic story of the near collapse of Russian science in the mid-1990s and of subsequent domestic and international efforts to reform and reenergize scientific activity in Russia.  Science as a Gateway to Understanding: International Workshop Proceedings, Tehran, Iran By National Research Council 2008 | 184 Pages | ISBN: 030912879X | PDF | 1 MB In October 2007, the U.S. National Academies and the Iranian Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Science organized the first of a series of planned U.S.-Iranian workshops on the topic 'Science as a Gateway to Understanding'. This new workshop series is a component of the broader effort of the National Academies to support bilateral workshops and exchange visits in a variety of fields with a number of Iranian institutions that began in 2000. This book includes papers that were presented at the workshop and summaries of the discussions that followed some of the presentations. At the conclusion of the workshop there was general agreement that the presentations on many aspects of science and scientific cooperation that have a bearing on mutual understanding were an important first step. Several participants underscored that the next workshop should emphasize how scientific cooperation can lead in concrete terms to improved understanding among both academic and political leaders from the two countries.  Science and Civilization in Islam By Seyyed Hossein Nasr 2007 | 386 Pages | ISBN: 1930637152 | PDF | 9 MB This is the first one-volume work in English to deal with every branch of Islamic science and to approach it not from the Western viewpoint but as it is understood by the Muslims themselves. Islamic science, known to the West principally for its influence on the development of European scientific thought, occupied a central position within the Muslim culture. Through historical and morphological analysis, as well as through excerpts from actual text, Dr. Nasr graphically conveys to Western readers the content and spirit of Islamic science. His introduction surveys the religious, metaphysical, and philosophical concepts of Islam. In succeeding Chapters, the author covers the entire scientific spectrum from cosmography, mathematics and medicine to alchemy and theology, as well as how these fields interact with related schools of thought. Although his primary objective is to examine Islamic science within the context of Islamic civilization, Dr. Nasr also emphasizs the far reaching historical significance of those discoveries and writing which most directly affected the West. On alchemy the author says: "...alchemy in its highest meaning was a spiritual technique for liberating the soul from its material bonds by making it realize that the world is not a series of images and dreams of the individual psyche, but the dream of the Universal or World Soul, in which the human soul must participate. Alchemy was thus a way of awakening man from that illusion which he calls the 'world' by means of the contemplation of the primordial beauty of nature and participation in the dream of the World Soul through the removal of the limitative barrirs of the individual psyche."  Science Shams & Bible Bloopers By David Allen Mills, David Mills 2000 | 384 Pages | ISBN: 0738822817 | PDF | 2 MB In this richly entertaining and highly readable volume, you'll enjoy David Mills' irreverent challenge to the charlatans of science fraud. Whether it's your local police, your minister, your favorite author, your chiropractor, your psychotherapist, or your public schools, you'll learn how these trusted authorities pervert science for their own selfish ends.
