Description
Many of us have been fascinated as children by soap bubbles and soap films. Scientists and mathematicians have been interested in the properties of bubbles and films throughout scientific history.
In Demonstrating Science with Soap Films David Lovett describes how the properties of soap films and bubbles can illustrate and elucidate a wide range of physical principles and scientific phenomena. The book is designed to appeal to both high school and university teachers and lecturers, curious general science readers, and researchers studying soap films and minimal surfaces.
The text is enhanced by
* over 100 diagrams and photographs
* details of practical experiments that can be performed using simple household materials
* computer programs that draw some of the more complicated figures or animate sequences of soap film configurations
* a bibliography for readers wishing to delve further into the subject.
Whilst much of the mathematics employed to explain concepts is at high school level, the more advanced topics are boxed and so may be omitted by readers without the appropriate mathematical background.
