Ever since Bambi, and, more recently, Born Free, there have been a lot of books about animals, but few compare with Max Fink's wry, understated, charming, and immensely readable My Friend, the Quizzical Salamander.

Max Born suggested that the electron's position needed to be described by a probability distribution which was connected with finding the electron at some point in the wave-function which described its associated wave packet.

Other names connected to the city include Max Born, physicist and Nobel laureate ; Charles Darwin, the biologist who discovered natural selection ; David Hume, a philosopher, economist and historian ; James Hutton, regarded as the " Father of Geology "; John Napier inventor of logarithms ; chemist and one of the founders of thermodynamics Joseph Black ; pioneering medical researchers Joseph Lister and James Young Simpson ; chemist and discoverer of the element nitrogen, Daniel Rutherford ; mathematician and developer of the Maclaurin series, Colin Maclaurin and Ian Wilmut, the geneticist involved in the cloning of Dolly the sheep just outside Edinburgh.

In 1924, Fermi spent a semester at the University of Göttingen with Max Born, and then stayed for a few months in Leiden with Paul Ehrenfest.

He earned his Ph. D. in Physics from the University of Bristol in 1937, studying under Nevill Mott, and took a DSc at the University of Edinburgh while studying under Max Born.

However, Professor Max Born intervened on Fuchs ' behalf.

The situation changed rapidly in the years 1925 – 1930, when working mathematical foundations were found through the groundbreaking work of Erwin Schrödinger, Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, Pascual Jordan, and the foundational work of John von Neumann, Hermann Weyl and Paul Dirac, and it became possible to unify several different approaches in terms of a fresh set of ideas.

It was Max Born who introduced the interpretation of the absolute square of the wave function as the probability distribution of the position of a pointlike object.

Early quantum theory was significantly reformulated in the mid-1920s by Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrodinger, Max Born, Wolfgang Pauli and their collaborators, and the Copenhagen interpretation of Niels Bohr became widely accepted.

The foundations of quantum mechanics were established during the first half of the 20th century by Max Planck, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Louis de Broglie, Arthur Compton, Albert Einstein, Erwin Schrödinger, Max Born, John von Neumann, Paul Dirac, Enrico Fermi, Wolfgang Pauli, David Hilbert, Wilhelm Wien, Satyendra Nath Bose, Arnold Sommerfeld and others.

Especially since Werner Heisenberg was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932 for the creation of quantum mechanics, the role of Max Born in the development of QM has become somewhat confused and overlooked.

Explanations put forth by Albert Einstein and Max Born invoked gravitational time dilation to explain the aging as a direct effect of acceleration.

While temporarily at the University of Copenhagen, German physicist Werner Heisenberg formulated his famous Uncertainty principle, and, with Max Born and Pascual Jordan, accomplished the first complete and correct definition of quantum mechanics, through the invention of Matrix mechanics.

Born in Berlin, Hempel attended the University of Göttingen and the University of Heidelberg, then returned to Berlin, where he was taught by influential physicists Hans Reichenbach and Max Planck, and logistics with mathematician John von Neumann.

However, according to Sowa ( 2000 ), citing Max Born in 1949, " relativity and quantum mechanics have forced physicists to abandon these assumptions as exact statements of what happens at the most fundamental levels, but they remain valid at the level of human experience.

* Max Born ( 1924 ), Einstein's Theory of Relativity ( The 1962 Dover edition, page 348 lists a table documenting the observed and calculated values for the precession of the perihelion of Mercury, Venus, and Earth.

In 1925 and 1927, Mulliken traveled to Europe, working with outstanding spectroscopists and quantum theorists such as Erwin Schrödinger, Paul A. M. Dirac, Werner Heisenberg, Louis de Broglie, Max Born, and Walther Bothe ( all of whom eventually received Nobel Prizes ) and Friedrich Hund, who was at the time Born's assistant.

Far from claiming to make " the contradiction disappear " which Max Born thought could be achieved with a statistical approach, de Broglie extended wave-particle duality to all particles ( and to crystals which revealed the effects of diffraction ) and extended the principle of duality to the laws of nature.

Olivia Newton-John was born in Cambridge, England, to a Welsh father, Brinley (" Bryn ") Newton-John, and a Berlin-born mother, Irene Helene ( Born ), the eldest child of the Nobel prize-winning atomic physicist Max Born.

Beginning around 1960, the philosopher and historian of ideas Max Fisch ( 1900 – 1995 ) emerged as an authority on Peirce ; Fisch ( 1986 ) includes many of his relevant articles, including a wide-ranging survey ( Fisch 1986: 422 – 48 ) of the impact of Peirce's thought through 1983.
