Description	File of correspondence between M S Bartlett and Professor Wolfgang Muckenheim and Peter Mander. Bartlett's correspondence with Muckenheim comprises friendly, wide-ranging discussion and sharing of knowledge across different scientific disciplines.Muckenheim is a physicist. Their discussions cover the physics of spin, relativity theory, Bell's spaceship paradox, trials and events in probability, the Petersburg problem as well as recommendations and thoughts on their reading (such as Hawking's 'A brief history of time', Anandan 'The geometric phase', Ian Stewart's 'Does God play dice - the mathematics of chaos').
