He used his considerable influence to help Fresnel, Ampere and others develop their ideas and make themselves known. This book covers his personal contributions to physics, astronomy, geodesy and oceanography, which are far from negligible, but insufficiently known. Arago was also an important and influential political man who, for example, abolished slavery in the French colonies. One of the last humanists, he had a very broad culture and range of interests. In parallel to his biography, this title also covers the spectacular progresses of science at the time of Arago, especially in France: the birth of physical optics, electromagnetism and thermodynamics. Francois Arago’s life is a fascinating epic tale that reads as a novel. | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 关键词 | 19th Century Astronomy; 19th Century Geodesy; 19th Century Meteorology; 19th Century Oceanography; 19th | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-20723-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-35646-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-20723-0Series ISSN 0067-0057 Series E-ISSN 2214-7985 | | issn_series | 0067-0057 | | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016 |
