ACADEMIA. The magazine of the Polish Academy of Sciences

ACADEMIA. The magazine of the Polish Academy of Sciences

Opis

The „Academia” magazine was founded on the initiative of Professor Andrzej B. Legocki, a President of the Polish Academy of Sciences in 2003 – 2006. In the beginning it was published only in English as a reply to the growing demand for a current information on the Polish Academy of Sciences` activities, expressed by foreign scientists and Poles living abroad and interested in Polish science.

Since 2005 the magazine is published both in Polish and English.

The „Academia” is an exceptional - on the Polish market - scientific magazine for the general public, propagating achievements of Polish scientists here and abroad. Authors of articles in „Academia” explain their subject in a way that is accessible not only for all sorts of academics but also for students, pupils and all other readers interested in scientific topics for the general public.

Słowa kluczowe: human boundary tolerance
Pobierz PDF Pobierz RIS Pobierz Bibtex

Abstrakt

The boundaries of humanity are the ideas that trace out the very limits of what we call human, together with the attendant values, duties, and categories. To understand these better, we first need to scrutinize the two underlying concepts: the notion of boundary and the notion of a human being.

Słowa kluczowe: orchid biodiversity species
Pobierz PDF Pobierz RIS Pobierz Bibtex

Abstrakt

Orchids are a fascinating world unto themselves, featuring incredible diversity of species, myriad forms and dazzling colors. At the same time, orchids are among the least explored groups of plants, with much work left to be done on their careful classification and study. How should different orchid species be distinguished, and how should the boundaries between different genera be delineated?

Słowa kluczowe: mathematics mathematical sequence theory of series limits of functions derivatives integrals
Pobierz PDF Pobierz RIS Pobierz Bibtex

Abstrakt

On the one hand, mathematics draws inspiration from everyday life and has the ambition to model it through a precise logical system, while on the other, it contributes new, sometimes very abstract ideas which expand our imagination and broaden our understanding of the surrounding reality. This is clearly illustrated when we scrutinize various mathematical concepts centered around the notion of “boundary.”
