Ce texte prolonge le Traité de dynamique paru en 1744 ; l'auteur y applique le principe éponyme d'Alembert, qui "fournit les lois générales d'un mouvement quelconque de systèmes de corps, liés ou non entre eux, libres ou contraints par des forces, en faisant usage de la méthode des déplacements virtuels" (En français dans le texte), à l'hydrodynamique afin d'unifier les sciences mécaniques autour d'une loi mathématique rationnelle unique. Bon exemplaire malgré quelques rousseurs claires et des traces d'humidité sur le bas de certaines pages et planches. Ex-libris anciennement masqués au titre par des pièces de papier contrecollées.

L'Académie royale des Sciences, fondée en 1666 par Colbert, décida la publication des mémoires données en son sein : la première publication parut en 1701 et la dernière en 1793, au moment de sa suppression sous la Terreur. L'ensemble forme 164 volumes. Ce volume manuscrit regroupe les tout premiers mémoires de l'Académie concernant la mécanique, la plupart composés par Varignon. Cette copie manuscrite est très vraisemblablement de la main d'un scientifique averti. D'une petite écriture nette et très lisible, elle contient quelques schémas dans le texte et surtout elle est accompagnée de 18 planches repliées dont deux seulement sont gravées, toutes les autres étant dessinées à la plume. Les figures reproduites montrent l'aisance et la connaissance du copieur. Les seuls renseignements connus concernant ce dernier sont ses initiales, C.Q.F.F.V. , données à la fin du volume. Cette copie forme un premier tome, mais il n'est pas sûr que l'entreprise ait été poursuivie. Détail des mémoires recopiés : 1668 : Comparaison des différentes forces de l'homme et des Machines. 1671 : De la résistance des Corps Solides. 1674 : Du mouvement des Corps et de sa Communication. 1674 : De la Communication Du Mouvement. 1675 : Du Choc Oblique. 1685 : Sur les Moïens d'arretter et de lâcher aisément les Cables sur lesquels on tire.

In -4°; mezza pergamena; cc. (4) + 104 + cb. Numerose illustrazioni nel testo. Frontespizio rifoderato con fori marginali di tarlo che si estendono alle prime quattro pagine (non incidono sul testo, così come gli strappetti sugli angoli); le prime pagine piuttosto abrase. Il pesarese Guidobaldo Del Monte (1545-1607), matematico, scienziato e astronomo, fu tra i più importanti sostenitori di Galileo: proprio grazie a Dal Monte, che lo segnalò al proprio fratello Cardinale, Galilei ottenne nel ’29 la cattedra universitaria di matematica all’Università di Pisa. La prima edizione di questo trattato di meccanica del 1577 fu considerata il più importante trattato di statica dai tempi dell’antica Grecia. Restored title, marginally damaged by bookworms, as like the first six pages (text is not touched); first pages are not very fresh. Many illustrations framed in the text. Dal Monte (1545-1607) was a big supporter of Galileo; thanks to Dal Monte, who recommended him to his brother (a Cardinal), Galilei obtained it’s first academic chair at Pisa university. The first edition of this work, in 1577, was considered the most important dissertation on statics, since ancient Greeks.

1878215461878. EngineeringPhysics Three manuscript volumes 1878-1879 compiled in Germany notes on nineteenth-century study of applied physics mechanics thermodynamics and fluid engineering at a moment when the German states were consolidating their position as leaders in industrial science and technical education. Produced during the height of Imperial Germany's expansion of polytechnic institutes and research universities these notebooks reflect the rigorous mathematical formalism and applied design training that undergirded the nation's rapid industrialization. The systematic integration of theoretical mechanics with detailed machine drawings situates the work within the educational culture that supported advances in steam power turbine development and precision engineering in the decades following unification in 1871. As working instructional volumes they provide primary evidence of how Newtonian mechanics thermodynamic principles and mechanical design were taught to engineers in the late nineteenth century.<br /> <br /> Three handwritten volumes titled "I. Band" "II. Band" and continuation volume. Germany 1878-1879. The first volume opens with "Allgemeine Mechanik" outlining foundational principles including "Zusammensetzung und Zerlegung der Kräfte" and a carefully drafted "Parallelogramm der Kräfte" accompanied by geometric constructions and vector decompositions central to applied statics. Subsequent sections demonstrate lever calculations and force polygons rendered with precision technical drafting. The second volume advances into applied mechanics addressing "elastische Körper" rotational dynamics and "Zentripetalkraft" with formula derivations and diagrams of circular motion. Detailed gear assemblies and meshing systems indicate practical engagement with machine design while a section devoted to "Schmidt'scher Wassermotor" includes a sectional rendering of a turbine mechanism. The third volume transitions to thermodynamic systems including extended treatment of heat exchangers "Caloriferes" and a large fold-out "Schieberdiagramm für variable Expansion" attributed to G. Huber illustrating valve timing in steam engines through radial plotting. A further fold-out cross-section of a high-pressure steam engine demonstrates piston-cylinder interaction and valve actuation accompanied by efficiency calculations and pressure analyses. The presence of fold-out engineering plates systematic red and black ink notation and sequential theoretical development strongly suggests production within a university or technical institute environment.<br /> <br /> Three volumes. Extensive manuscript text with numerous diagrams and multiple fold-out plates. Original marbled paper boards with manuscript title labels. Bindings intact; minor hinge wear; spine cracking on one volume; pages clean and bright; fold-outs crisp with slight fraying at some edges. Overall very good. As a comprehensive and internally coherent set of engineering study notebooks from the period when German technical education shaped global industrial practice these volumes offer substantive insight into the pedagogical transmission of classical mechanics and steam engineering at a formative moment in modern industrial history. unknown

Stockwell 1876 In 1837 the association under President George Baker and Samuel Tingley Jr. Secretary whose names appear on page four presented the petition: "Your memorialists have been struck with one fact . that the instruction of youth in the public schools is a heavy tax upon the middling classes without an adequate return as they do not participate in the benefit of this public instruction. This argument which is evidently weighty in the present condition of these schools would be destroyed if they were raised to the condition desired by your memorialists. "Why is it that the middling classes do not become participants in this instruction There is evidently but one reason. They perceive that the crowded state of the schools alone would prevent proper attention to the pupil; and they are aware that with the small sum which the instructors receive it is difficult to procure and retain the services of competent persons to fill the station. But let the schools be made so numerous that the scholars may receive as much attention as they do in the private schools and let the salaries be so large as to induce men of equal ability to take charge of them and that which is now considered as a tax would then be viewed as an alleviation of one of the heaviest burdens put upon the middling classes.

"The subject originated in a memoir of 1858 the paper offered and grew directly out of simple observations on the way in which the transformations linear of the theory of algebraic invariants are combined.a distinctive feature of these rules is that multiplication is not commutative.we get different results according to the order in which we do the multiplication. it seems about as far from anything of scientific or practical use as anything could possible be. Yet sixty seven years after Cayley's invented it HEISENBERG in 1925 recognized in the algebra of matrices exactly the tool which he neede for his revolutionary work in QUANTUM MECHANICS."Bell Men of Mathematics."It was in connection with the study of invariants under linear transformation that Cayley first introduced matrices to simplify the notation involved.

The wave-equation derived from a Hamiltonian variation-principle; generalization to an arbitrary conservative system. §8. The wave-function physically means and determines a continuous distribution of electricity in space the fluctuations of which determine the radiation by the laws of ordinary electrodynamics. §9. Non-conservative systems. Theory of dispersion and scattering and of the "transitions" between the "stationary states." §10. The question of relativity and the action of a magnetic field. Incompleteness of that part of the theory." From the Abstract in front of the paper. </em> hardcover
