Classification of Groups Groups have a wide range at its fully expanded level. This range may include finite permutation groups and matrix groups to abstract groups. These groups are likely to be specified on the basis of their presentation by their very own generators and relations. One needs to get familiar with following main classification […]
The Wheel In the history of inventions, there is little doubt that the oldest, and perhaps one of the most valuable inventions invented till date is the good old wheel, round and perfect in shape that has helped mankind travel to every corner of the planet without fatigue or discomfort. Indeed, the wheel was one […]
GEOPHYSICAL EXPLORATION Geophysical exploration consists of measuring from the surface certain physical properties of the underlying material and of interpreting the measurements in terms of different geological lithology as well as structure. It is emphasized at the start that the data of geophysical measurements are valuable to the engineer only when correctly interpreted in geological […]
Historical Review of Geochemistry The term Geochemistry was first introduced by a chemist of Swiss-German origin, named Christian Friedrich Schoenbein sometime is the year 1938. He produced a paper where he emphasized the importance for a field of study which is not exactly Geology and also something that has a potential to determine the formation […]
What is Genetics Genetics is the branch of biology that studies the transfer of physical and biological characteristics from generation to generation. Many scientists believe that the explanation for many genetic problems lies in the genes. Heredity is the genetic inheritance we received from our ancestors, whether, physical or even diseases. Hence, the explanation of […]
About this Book Exact insight into the relativity theory, from both philosophical perspective and general scientific perspective, for all those who are not conversant in theoretical physics and the mathematical apparatus, can be handy enough to understand the nuances associated with the subject. Einstein ideas were inspired basically by the brilliant theoretical physicist by then, […]
About this Book The concept of chemistry is one of the most amusing concepts that are essential to sustain life in a better way. Chemistry has always rendered many important components with mankind. It is it still providing search components that can be very helpful for a better future. The chemistry has helped the humankind […]
About this Book The environment is an amazing gift of nature to the mankind. It consists of many small and big organisms, which reside together in this environment. They follow a proper food chain and live together. In past few decades, after the development of mankind and the different techniques, the humans have developed in […]
About this Book The discipline of science that shades the most light on the structure of the world and also the most advanced one is undoubtedly none other than Physics. Hence, it is much needed to have some basic ideas of not only what the up-to-date development of physics is but also how we came […]
About this Book The history of quantum physics can never be complete without a cursory look at the diverse works of various scientists, both in the field of quantum physics and quantum chemistry. The early twentieth century marked the origin of the quantum physics concept, and it has been developed over the decades to become […]
About this Book eochemistry is that branch of science which uses the fundamental principles of Chemistry to understand, analyze and explain the mechanisms behind and working principles of major geological systems including the oceans as well as Earth’s crust. But the scope of Geochemistry extends much beyond our planet earth and extends upto the solar […]
About this Book In the decade and a half since the preparation of the first edition of this script there have been few fundamental changes in the methods used in various geophysical surveys conducted within the small scale range. Not only that, the past few years has been witness to great changes in applications and […]
About this Book Dark matter is a non luminous component of the cosmos. Yet, that can be detected or identified for its existence through the gravitational force. The gravity on the light emitting components that pass by proves the presence of this dark matter. The concept of black holes can be better understood too, in […]
About this Book Around 13.5 billion years ago, energy, time, matter and space had come to be known as the phenomenon of the Big Bang. The theory of the fundamental features of the universe is referred to as physics. Around 30,000 years when these features had appeared, energy along with matter had started the coalescing […]
About this Book Humans have always had the need to tell. In the dark millennia of prehistory, people used fingers or made incisions on bones. There are about 4000 years early civilizations developed elaborate numbering system to record transactions from business to astronomical cycles. The hand tools calculation appear millennia later. Today, the prodigious complexity […]
About this Book Chemistry studies the nature (atomic and molecular structure, etc.), properties, composition and transformations of matter. Here are some benefits that chemistry can provide: ♦ fabrics of the clothes we use in day-to-day are materials obtained through the development of Chemistry; ♦ the artificial fibers (nylon, tergal, etc.), synthetic rubbers, plastics, part of […]
About this Book History of science, since time immemorial, has embraced clearly defined interdisciplinary methods and perspectives, and other fields of human endeavor are beginning to buy into the pace set by sciences. Understanding science has become a more complex issue of discussion due to the numerous fields of study it embodies. In times past, […]
About this Book Both earth science and geo-archaeology are two very unique discipline of science which shares a lot of resemblances to each other. Although the supposed differences between these two endeavors continue to be discussed (e.g., Butzer, 1982; Rapp and Hill, 1998), here we are basically concerned with any subject that bridges the interface […]
About this Book The Moon has held the imaginations of the human beings since the advent of the modern world. However, it is the only in the modern times that the humans have visited the lunar surface. Initially, this was achieved by the robotic machines and then it was achieved by the astronauts. The exploration […]
About this Book The history of the Earth to be very precise, is concerned with the evolution and development of the planet Earth in the Solar System. It also refers to the series of events and periods that paved the way to the evolution of life on Earth. All branches of Science from the ancient […]
