Thus, for instance, it may come as a shock to mathematicians to learn that the Schrodinger equation for the hydrogen atom is not a literally correct description of this atom, but only an approximation to a somewhat more correct equation taking account of spin, magnetic dipole, and relatiristic effects, and that this corrected equation is itself only an imperfect approximation to an infinite set of quantum field theoretical equations.

早在20世纪50年代，许多研究前工业时代欧洲（我们可将其粗略定义为1300年至1800年间的欧洲）的历史学家们开始研究更多的欧洲人群，而不仅仅局在只占人口总数2％到3％的那些至今还充斥着历史书籍的政治、社会、精英人物：国王、将军、法官、贵族主教和地方要人。
