Content introduction
Leonardo da Vincis notes are amazing notes of a scientific genius in the 15th century standing on the edge of the modern world. His ideas are based on observation and experiment. This book will change childrens views on who Leonardo is and what it means to be a scientist.
Maria skvodovska Curie (Polish: Marie SK? Odowska Curie, November 7, 1867-july 4, 1934), commonly known as Marie Curie or Madame Curie, Polish French female physicist and radiochemist. Marie Curies achievements include the creation of the theory of radioactivity, the invention of the technology for the separation of radioisotopes, and the discovery of two new elements, polonium (PO) and radium (RA). Under her guidance, radioisotopes were used to treat cancer for the first time. She is a female professor at the University of Paris and has won two Nobel prizes. But she eventually died of leukemia because of exposure to radioactive substances. In 1995, she was buried in the Pantheon with her husband Pierre Curie.
Einstein was born into a Je family in Ulm, Germany (both parents were Jews). In 1900, he graduated from the Federal Institute of technology in Zurich, Switzerland and became a Swiss citizen. In 1905, Einstein received his doctorate in physics from the University of Zurich, put forward the photon hypothesis and successfully explained the photoelectric effect (so he won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1921); In the same year, he founded special relativity and general relativity in 1915. In 1933, he moved to the United States and worked in Princeton Institute of higher studies. In 1940, he joined the United States and retained Swiss nationality. On April 18, 1955, Einstein died in Princeton, New Jersey, at the age of 76. In December 1999, Einstein was selected as the "person of the century" in the 20th century by time magazine.
Sir Isaac Newton (January 4, 1643 - March 31, 1727), President of the Royal Society of England, a famous British physicist, encyclopedic "omniscient", and the author of mathematical principles of natural philosophy and optics. In the paper "the laws of nature" published in 1687, the universal gravitation and the three laws of motion were described. These descriptions laid the scientific view of the physical world for the next three centuries and became the basis of modern engineering. By demonstrating the consistency between Keplers law of planetary motion and his theory of gravity, he showed that the motion of ground objects and celestial bodies followed the same natural law; It put forward a powerful theory for the sun center theory and promoted the scientific revolution. In mechanics, Newton expounded the principle of conservation of momentum and angular momentum and put forward Newtons law of motion. Optically, he invented the reflection telescope and developed the color theory based on the observation that a prism emits white light into a visible spectrum. He also systematically expressed the law of cooling and studied the speed of sound. In mathematics, Newton shared the honor of developing calculus with Gottfried William Leibniz. He also proved the generalized binomial theorem, proposed the "Newton method" to approach the zero of the function, and contributed to the study of power series.
In economics, Newton proposed the gold standard.
