In this book by the renowned Dutch physicist Sander Bais, the equations that govern our world unfold in all their formal grace and their deeper meaning as core symbols of our civilization.
Author Sander Bais is a leading theoretical physicist at the University of Amsterdam. His research focuses on problems in particle physics, from quantum fi eld theory to string theory, but he enjoys making excursions to many adjacent fi elds. His special talent lies in making physics accessible to a larger audience. His ability to transform the complex into the comprehensible has allowed him to convey the essential message of science to many. In this book he takes the reader on a journey, unveiling the beauty and meaning of seventeen equations that constitute the basis of our knowledge of the physical world.
