Do you want to become the next Einstein?
If you've ever wondered how a regular man like Einstein could come up with radical ideas, look no further than this book. Designed to guide the beginner in a choice of career in mathematical physics, this title is a must-read.
Author George Jaroszkiewicz doesn't believe that Einstein was born with a brain "somehow different to 'normal' brains". To Jaroszkiewicz, the life and success of Albert Einstein was rooted, not in a genetical fluke that meant he was just smarter than the rest of us, but instead in his dedication to his work and his "self-conditioning", involving practices that we can all implement in our own lives in order to enable ourselves to do great things.
This book sets out to teach the reader an awareness of these methods of self-conditioning and is aimed at those of us that are still forming our ideas about who we are and what we want to do in life.
Written in a conversational and accessible way, this book provides insight and access to the ideas of mathematical physics without confounding the reader with technical jargon or unexplained terminology. Have you ever considered getting into science yourself? There's no reason to strike it out as a possibility. If this book attempts to do anything, then it is to show its readers that there is space for them within the science world, if it is something they want. There is no singular type of person that can do well in mathematical physics or any subject or industry. What this book attempts to do is open up the space for curious-minded readers to explore a new field of study with the aspiration of being as influential as Albert Einstein was.
This book retails for US$28 / £18.99 (paperback) and US$68 / £60 (hardback). To order or know more about the book, visit https://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/11575.
About the Author
George Jaroszkiewicz was born in 1950 in Cardiff, South Wales, United Kingdom. He was named George after the English King at that time.
In 1968 George went to Edinburgh University to study Astrophysics, changing after one year into Mathematical Physics. He was greatly influenced by Professor Nicholas Kemmer, mathematical physicist who extended the concept of isotopic spin to mesons in the late 1930's. In 1972 George went to Cambridge University, Jesus College, to do a PhD in high-energy elementary particle physics (not elementary, practical physics!) with Peter Landshoff in DAMPT (Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics).
In 1981 he got a permanent position as lecturer in the Department of Mathematics (later renamed School of Mathematical Sciences) at the University of Nottingham, UK, where he stayed until he retired formally in 2016.
After formal retirement, he continued active work on research in mathematical physics topics, publishing papers and books.
George is working actively on developing the theory of observation. This means taking a wider perspective of what is going on in the laboratory than is customary in most theory at this time. This is motivated by the problems that people have in "understanding" quantum mechanics" compared to classical expectations.
