Excerpt from A Treatise on the Stability of a Given State of Motion, Particularly Steady Motion: Being the Essay to Which the Adams Prize Was Adjudged in 1877, in the University of Cambridge
The Examiners give notice that the following is the subject of the Prize to be adjudged in 1877 The Criterion of Dynamical Stability.
To illustrate the meaning Of the question imagine a particle to slide down inside a smooth inclined cylinder along the lowest generating line, or to slide down outside along the highest generating line. In the former case a slight derangement of the motion would merely cause the particle to oscillate about the generating line, while in the latter case the particle would depart from the generating line altogether. The motion in the former case would be, in the sense of the question, stable, in the latter unstable.

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Stability of a Given State of Motion, Particularly Steady Motion: Being the Essay to Which the Adams Prize Was Adjudged in 1877, in the University of Cambridge
In March, 1875, the usual biennial notice was issued, giving the subjects for the Adams Prize to be adjudged in 1877. The following is the chief portion of the notice:
The University having accepted a Fund raised by several members of St Johns College for the purpose of founding a Prize to be called the Adams Frize, for the best essay on some subject of Piue Mathematics, Astronomy or other branch of Natural Philosophy, the Prize to be given once in two years, and to be open to the competition of all persons who have at any time been admitted to a degree in this University -
The Examiners give notice that the following is the subject of the Prize to be adjudged in 1877: The Criterion of dynamical stability.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of dynamical stability, exploring the conditions under which a system in motion remains stable when subjected to disturbances. The author, writing in the late 19th century, tackles this complex subject by examining the intricate relationship between the roots of a specific mathematical equation and the stability of the system. Building on the work of mathematicians like Cauchy, the author develops a comprehensive framework for analyzing the nature of these roots. He introduces the concept of a "derived equation," a tool that helps predict whether the original equation's roots indicate stability or instability. This book offers a rigorous yet accessible examination of the mathematical underpinnings of dynamical stability, illuminating how seemingly small perturbations can drastically alter the behavior of complex systems. The author's groundbreaking work provides crucial insights into the delicate balance between stability and instability, laying the groundwork for further exploration of this fundamental scientific principle.
