U. Kivi : Painovoima
Explore the fundamentals of gravitation through Newton’s and Einstein’s theories, presented clearly and pragmatically. Accessible mathematics illuminate the structures of classical mechanics and relativity theory from a fresh perspective.
Kenelle: For those interested in physics and mathematics.
Kirjan esitys nojaa vahvasti matematiikkaan ja sen hyvä ymmärtäminen vaatii paikoitellen korkeakoulumatematiikan perustason osaamista. Lukiomatematiikalla ja positiivisella asenteella (tai miksei myös pelkällä positiivisella asenteella) pärjää myös melko hyvin. Sekä klassinen mekaniikka että suhteellisuusteoria käsitellään käyttäen helpompaa matematiikkaa kuin standardiesityksissä. Teorioiden perusrakenne tulee kirjassa selkeästi esiin. Kirjassa esitetään uusia tuloksia koskien suhteellisuusteorian mukaan laskettua kappaleen rataa.
U. Kivi has university examination -civil engineer- with major subject in physics and minor subject in mathematics. He has made thermodynamic calculations with relation to nuclear power station accidents. Due to his background the style of the writer is very pragmatic and the description of thermodynamic processes is very thorough in books 'Termodynamiikka' and 'Thermodynamics'. The writer is interested in relativity theory - books 'Painovoima' and 'Gravitation', but is not at all professional in that field. Because Finnish name 'Uuno' means one in Italy or ein in Germany and name 'Kivi' means stein in Germany, pseudonym 'Uuno Kivi' may be interpreted as Einstein. Uuno means also stupid in Finnish, so that if the reader doesn't like the contents of the books he/she may interpret the pseudonym as 'stupid as a stone'.
