Michael Guillen books reminds me of Issac Asimov. A great scientist who is also an excellent author.
Michael Guillen books reminds me of Issac Asimov. He is able to explain complex concepts in a way that anyone can understand. He also examined the personalities of the five scientists and the world they lived in. Even though I have learned about Einstein and his equations for many years, he presented additional insights that I had not previously understood. I had one of those "Ah ha! So that that is how it works. I look forward to reading his new book; "The Null Prophecy".

Five Equations That Changed the World: The Power and Poetry of Mathematics is a book by Michael Guillen, published in 1995. It is divided into five chapters that talk about five different equations in physics and the people who have developed them. The scientists and their equations are: Isaac Newton. Universal Law of Gravity). Daniel Bernoulli (Law of Hydrodynamic Pressure). Michael Faraday (Law of Electromagnetic Induction). Rudolf Clausius (Second Law of Thermodynamics).
Five equations that changed the world: the power and poetry of mathematics I by Michael Guillen. lst ed. p. cm. Includes index. ISBN 0-7868-8187-9 1. Physics-Popular works. Nothing reminds us of that inconvenient reality more so than the United Nations.
Now Dr. Guillen unravels the equations that have led to the inventions and events that characterize the . I'm not certain that Guillen really makes a good case for THESE five equations being the things that changed the world. Why these equations but not others?
Now Dr. Guillen unravels the equations that have led to the inventions and events that characterize the modern world, one of which - Albert Einstein's famous energy equation, E mc2 - enabled the creation of the nuclear bomb. Also revealed are the mathematical foundations for the moon landing, airplane travel, the electric generator - and even life itself. Why these equations but not others?
Isaac Newton and the universal law of gravity - Daniel Bernoulli and the law of hydrodynamic pressure - Michael Faraday and the law of electromagnetic induction - Rudolf Clausius and the second law of thermodynamics - Albert Einstein and the theory of special relativity.

Dr. Michael Guillen, known to millions as the science editor of ABC's Good Morning America, tells the fascinating stories behind five mathematical equations.
As a regular contributor to daytime's most popular morning news show and an instructor at Harvard University, Dr. Michael Guillen has earned the respect of millions as a clear and entertaining guide to the exhilarating world of science and mathematics.
Now Dr. Guillen unravels the equations that have led to the inventions and events that characterize the modern world, one of which -- Albert Einstein's famous energy equation, E=mc2 -- enabled the creation of the nuclear bomb. Also revealed are the mathematical foundations for the moon landing, airplane travel, the electric generator -- and even life itself.
Praised by Publishers Weekly as "a wholly accessible, beautifully written exploration of the potent mathematical imagination," and named a Best Nonfiction Book of 1995, the stories behind The Five Equations That Changed the World, as told by Dr. Guillen, are not only chronicles of science, but also gripping dramas of jealousy, fame, war, and discovery.
