A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This fourth and final volume of The Collected Papers of Sir William Rowan Hamilton (1805–1865) contains three previously unpublished and important manuscripts, namely Systems of Rays and two lengthy letters to de Morgan (on definite integrals) and Hart (on anharmonic coordinates). In addition the volume contains reprinted papers on geometry, analysis, astronomy, probability and finite differences, as well as a collection of papers on various topics. A cumulative index for all four volumes is provided, as well as a CD containing all four volumes of the Collected Papers.

Revue de presse

"The academy is to be congratulated on having completed the publication of its most famous member's mathematical works... Probably of greatest interest to potential purchasers of this volume is a CD inside the back cover that includes all four volumes... This is probably one of the last efforts to publish the collected works of an important mathematician in a beautiful hardcover edition. It is a fitting tribute to an extraordinary man and a great mathematician." Thomas L. Hankins, Isis
