Excerpt from Vectorial Mechanics
The not very numerous collection of Problems and Exercises may be useful in connexion with the various chapters, and the Appendix containing a kind of vectorial-cartesian dictionary to the whole volume may be helpful to freshmen in vectorial language.

No space has been devoted therefore to any discussion of the philosophical aspect or of the origin of such concepts as mass, force, work, and so on, or to any description of the long and laborious route which, in the historical development of mechanics, has led to the fundamental principles of this branch of science, and especially tod A lemberts Principle, nor of those routes which, in modern treatises, are supposed to lead to them. I emphasized A lemberts Principle rather than any other equivalent to it, because it is from this that a start is here made. If our object were simply and solely a translation of mechanics into the language of vectors, we could indeed begin anywhere. But this book is not intended merely to present a loose juxtaposition of mechanical theorems and of their vectorial formulae. On the contrary, after the enunciation, in the first section of Chapter II., of the principle mentioned already we shall be able to proceed by a continuous, deductive road, so that those readers who are acquainted with little more than dA lemberts Principle will find here an almost systematic exposition of the chief parts of mechanics. A gain, other readers who know the subject thoroughly, but only in its Cartesian form, which is based on the consideration of the scalar components of displacements, velocities, forces and so on, may perhaps wish to see their knowledge translated into vectorial language, which to say the least is considerably shorter and more satisfactory to the imagination than the scalar language.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a treatise on theoretical mechanics. It is written using vector notation and methods, and the majority of the material is devoted to delving into the chief principles, theorems, and their consequences. The author begins introducing the concept of vectors as two- and three-dimensional quantities with both magnitude and direction. As these concepts are developed, the author shows their application in areas such as kinematics, kinetics, hydrodynamics, and elasticity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781440089787_0
