Synopsis

""The Principles of Mechanics: Presented in a New Form"" is a book written by Heinrich Hertz and first published in 1899. The book presents the fundamental principles of mechanics, which is the study of motion and forces, in a new and innovative way. Hertz's approach is based on the idea that mechanics can be understood through the use of mathematical equations and diagrams, rather than just through verbal descriptions. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the laws of motion, the dynamics of particles and systems, the principles of energy and momentum, and the behavior of fluids and gases. Hertz also explores the concept of elasticity and the properties of solids, as well as the principles of thermodynamics and the theory of heat.Throughout the book, Hertz provides numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the concepts and equations he presents. He also includes exercises and problems at the end of each chapter to allow readers to test their understanding and apply the principles to real-world situations.Overall, ""The Principles of Mechanics: Presented in a New Form"" is a comprehensive and innovative guide to the fundamental principles of mechanics, written by one of the most influential physicists of the late 19th century. It is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the physical laws that govern our world.Translated Also By J. T. Walley.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Vi PRINCIPLES OF MECHANICS them are fuller than the manuscript as finally prepared for the press. With regard to two paragraphs of the work I have found it impossible to satisfy myself, the authors intention as to the final form having remained doubtful to me. I have marked these two paragraphs and have thought it best to leave them entirely unaltered. After sending off the manuscript the author had noted certain corrections in a second copy; all these have been included before printing off. I have completed the references to earlier paragraphs of the book (of which few were given in the second part, and scarcely any in the last chapter), and have drawn up an index to the definitions and notation. P. Lenard. TMNSLATOKS NOTE Hertz s Principles of Mechanics forms the third (and last) volume of his collected works, as edited by Dr. Philipp Lenard. English translations of the first and second volumes (M iscellaneous Papers and Electric Waves) have already been published. The translation of the first two volumes was comparatively easy; the third has proved to be a more difficult undertaking. If it has been brought to a satisfactory conclusion this will be largely due to Professor Lenard, through whose hands the proof-sheets have passed. He has again, notwithstanding the pressure of other work, been good enough to advise and assist us from time to time, and we tender to him our warmest thanks. We also desire to thank the publishers and printers for the extreme consideration shown by them while the book was being prepared for the press. D. E. J. J. T. W. September
