Ian Stewart – The Mathematics of the Cosmos: How Modern Science Decodes the Universe
From the Solar System to the farthest reaches of the universe, Ian Stewart—a multiple award-winning popularizer of science—offers a compelling guide to the mechanics of the cosmos. In this book, he explains how mathematical models reveal the architecture of space and time, the nature of dark matter and dark energy, the formation of galaxies, and the reasons behind stellar explosions. Stewart also explores the origins of the universe, its possible endings, parallel universes, the fine-tuning problem that makes life possible, the potential forms of extraterrestrial life, and the probability of Earth being struck by an asteroid.
“The Mathematics of the Cosmos” is an exciting mathematical quest through the inner workings of astronomy and cosmology, grounded in the latest scientific understanding. This is a neutral, fact-based description of the book's content as provided by the source.
