Notă biografică
George N. Gibson received his BA in physics from the University of California, Berkeley, and his PhD in physics from the University of Illinois, Chicago, after dropping out of graduate school for two years to study piano performance. He is now full professor of physics at the University of Connecticut and his main area of research is fundamental interactions of high-intensity ultrafast lasers with atoms and molecules and ultrafast spectroscopy of biological molecules. Having played the piano his whole life, Dr. Gibson combined his interests in physics, music, and teaching by creating a novel course on physics and music. Dr. Gibson has also presented a public lecture titled "Just What Is the Connection between Physics and Music?" throughout the United States, Canada, and Spain.
Descriere
This textbook is written for a very specific purpose and audience: It serves as a breadth requirement for a general education program at the college level for non-science majors. It is intended to satisfy a science-and-technology, quantitative-reasoning, and, optionally, a lab requirement.
