Summer reading
Time to get some new titles for the summer reading… At the University’s bookstore sales, found this interesting titles on quantum mechanics. They are published by Dover, which offers great [classic] titles for an affordable price, even outside sales.
- The Mathematical Principles of Quantum Mechanics

The ATLAS Big Bang Theory
The Big Bang Theory is a very successful sitcom being broadcasted by CBS featuring four young nerd/geek/dork physicists (one theoretical particle physicist, a experimental physicist, an astronomer and an engineer), completely oblivious of the reality of the common mortal, who meet a beautiful young lady living next door to two of them. As the seasons progress, the geeks start to realize that there is more life “out there”, while the poor girl starts to understand a bit of their world. Read more of The ATLAS Big Bang Theory
