American Physical Society. Annual Meeting (2008: New Orleans, La)
History of physics [audiorecording]: session S40 of the APS annual meeting, March 2008.
Audiorecording of session S40 of the 2008 APS March meeting, held in New Orleans, Louisiana. This session was sponsored by the American Physical Society (APS) Forum on the History of Physics, chaired by George Zimmerman of Boston University. Presentations include: "Development of ultra violet photoemission [UPS]: a history" (speaker: Jerry (G.J.) Lapeyre); "Magnetism in matter before the discovery of quantum spin: Bohr's less well-known contribution to the transition from classical to quantum physics" (speaker: Jean-Francois Van Huele); "Epistemological Dimensions in Niels Bohr's Conceptualization of Complementarity" (speaker: Gregory Derry); "Paradox, Natural Mathematics, Relativity and Twentieth-Century Ideas" (speaker: John Ryskamp).
This professional society of educators, industrial and government research workers, and students of physics and related fields, was established in 1899 to promote the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics. It was a founding Member Society of the American Institute of Physics. The American Physical Society (APS) meetings are a forum for scientists to gather and share research results on a wide range of physics and physics-related topics.
