商品簡介
Austrian scientist Schrodinger (1887-1961) is best known for his theory of wave mechanics, which is used today from chemistry to nuclear physics and garnered him the 1933 Nobel Prize for Physics. Recently, however, some have found a 1943 lecture series of his published the following year sets out the mathematical basis for biogenetics including the very notion of the genetic code. Scholars of literature, pathology, and physics ponder his thoughts on life, where they might have come from, the place they held in his life and work, and implications for quantum mechanics. First published in German as Geist und Materie--Was ist Leben? Zur Aktualitat von Erwin Schrodinger by Suhrkamp Verlag Frankfurt am Main in 2008. No index is provided.
