Fermi Problem: Fermi problem, Science, Physics, Engineering, Education, Estimation, Dimensional analysis, Approximation, Enrico Fermi, Nuclear weapon, Trinity (nuclear test), Order of magnitude - Softcover
Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In science, particularly in physics or engineering education, a Fermi problem, Fermi question, or Fermi estimate is an estimation problem designed to teach dimensional analysis, approximation, and the importance of clearly identifying one's assumptions. Named after physicist Enrico Fermi, such problems typically involve making justified guesses about quantities that seem impossible to compute given limited available information.Fermi was known for his ability to make good approximate calculations with little or no actual data, hence the name. One example is his estimate of the strength of the atomic bomb detonated at the Trinity test, based on the distance travelled by pieces of paper dropped from his hand during the blast.Fermi's estimate of 10 kilotons of TNT was remarkably close to the now-accepted value of around 20 kilotons, a difference of less than one order of magnitude.
