DSB II p.49 s."During the last quarter of the seventeenth century and the beginning of the eighteenth centuries a rapid development of the infinitesimal calculus took place. Started on the Continent by Leibnitz.it progresssed principally by the work of Jacob and John Bernoulli. In trying to expand the field of application of this new mathematical tool they discussed several examples from mechanics and physics. One such example treated by Jacob Bernouilli.concerned the shape of the deflection curve of an elastic bar and in this way he began an importent chapter inthe mechanics of elastic bodies."Timoshenko "History of Strenght of Materials" p. 25-26. </em> unknown

A few marginal brownspots. <br/><br/><em>First edition of these prize winning papers by father Jean and son Daniel. - Both papers deals with the cause of the inclination of the planetary orbits relative to the solar equator. - In Daniel's paper he put foreward the hypothesis of the existence of an atmosphere resempling air and rotating around the solar axis resulting in an increasing inclination of the planetary orbits toward the equator of the sun. Daniel was the first importent Newtonian outside Great Britain. The problems faced here by Daniel are treated in Newtonian manner.The publication of these papers by father and son resulted in a controversy between the two forcing Daniel to leave his fathers house. - Poggendorff I:161. </em> hardcover
