He and Lord Kelvin at about the same time and independently announced the Second Law of thermodynamics. Clausius particularly developed the theory of thermodynamics by applying it to the study of gases and vapors."Magie in "A Source Book in Physics" p. 228."In order to analyze the process of molecular collisions Clausius adopted a simplified model for his admittedly complicated molecule. He assumed that whatever the actual patterns on intermolecular forces one could suppose that there is some advantage distance between the centers of molecules which would represent a general boundary between attractive and repulsive forces. If two molecules were to approach each other within that boundary repulsion would generally occur. Thus the very complex problem of intermolecular action was reduced to a "billiard ball" model."

Some brownspots to right marginon some leaves. <br/><br/><em>First printing of this importent paper the seciond of C's papers in the working out of the Kinetic Theory of Gases. In the paper he states that he found an error in Maxwell's theory of gases an error Maxwell was to admit as far more serious. "In his initial approach to the conduction of heat in gases Maxwell drew a brilliant analogy between diffusion a transfer of mass and conduction a transfer of kinetic energy thereby making it possible to use the form of his diffusion equation to represent conduction simply replacing the mass of a molecule with its kinetic energy. Clausius critized this adoption of the diffusion equation because given the assumptions mass transfer would accompany the heat conduction and the process would not be one of energy transfer alone. He then offered a revised theory of conduction. "DSB III p. 308."Clausius was one of the founders of the kinetic theory of gases and of the science of thermodynamics.

174046843Paris L'Imprimerie Royale 1740. 4to. Without wrappers. Extracted from "Mémoires de l'Academie des Sciences. Année 1737". Pp. 205-227 a. 2 folded engraved plates. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this extremely importent paper in which Clairaut directly confirms the rotation and the orbital movement of the Earth around the Sun and giving an indirect proof of the axiom that the velocity of light does not depend on whether the light source moves away or toward the observer. The Earth does move after all !!In 1728 James Bradley trying to measure the stellar parallax discovered stellar aberration - the angular displacement of the apparent direction of starlight due to the earth's motion - and attributed it to the combined effect of the finite velocity of light and the earth's orbital velocity. But Bradley had not given any theoretical proof but Clairaut did in the offered paper.Aberration is "the apparent change in direction of a source of light caused by an observers component of motion perpendicular to the impinging rays. During this time the telescope has moved a short distance causing the photons to reach a spot on the focal plane displayed from the former image position. This discovery provided the first direct physical confirmation of the Copernican theory. A second importent application of aberration has been its clear-cut demonstration that as is axiomatic to special relativity light reaching the earth has a velocity unaffected by the relative motion of the source toward or away from earth."McGraw-Hill "Concise Encyclopedia.". </em> unknown

185449410London Richard Taylor and William Francis 1854. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1854 Vol. 144 - Part I. Pp. 245-258. <br/><br/><em>First printing of the first paper in Cayley's famous memoirs on 'quantics' a term he coined for algebraic forms. In this paper Cayley throughout remodelled the whole basis for Invariant Theory."In addition to his part in founding the theory of abstract groups Cayley has a number of important theorems to his credit: perhaps the best known is that every finite group whatsoever is isomorphic with a suitable group of permutations see the first paper of 1854. This is often reckoned to be one of the three most important theorems of the subject the others being the theorems of Lagrange and Sylow. But perhaps still more significant was his early appreciation of the way in which the theory of groups was capable of drawing together many different domains of mathematics: his own illustrations for instance were drawn from the theories of elliptic functions matrices quantics quaternions homographic transformations and the theory of equations. If Cayley failed to pursue his abstract approach this fact is perhaps best explained in terms of the enormous progress he was making in these subjects taken individually."DSB </em> unknown

Cartan's papers: pp.437-439 593-595 734-737 857-60 1104-1107. <br/><br/><em>First edition of these papers in which Cartan intruced the concept of "Torsion" the main inspiration for Einstein in his searce for a unified field theory. The ECT of gravity is a modification of the General relativity Theory"The Einstein-Cartan theory also known as the Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble theory is a classical theory of gravitation similar to general relativity but relaxing the assumption that the affine connection has vanishing antisymmetric part torsion tensor so that the torsion can be coupled to the intrinsic angular momentum spin of matter much in the same way in which the curvature is coupled to the energy and momentum of matter. In fact the spin of matter in curved spacetime requires that torsion is not constrained to be zero but is a variable in the principle of stationary action. Regarding the metric and torsion tensors as independent variables gives the correct generalization of the conservation law for the total orbital plus intrinsic angular momentum to the presence of the gravitational field. The theory was first proposed by Élie Cartan in 1922 and expounded in the following few years. Dennis Sciama and Tom Kibble independently revisited the theory in the 1960s and an important review was published in 1976. Albert Einstein became affiliated with the theory in 1928 during his unsuccessful attempt to match torsion to the electromagnetic field tensor as part of a unified field theory. This line of thought led him to the related but different theory of teleparallelism." Wikipedia. </em> hardcover
