Product Description

This second volume on technology is mainly devoted to three prize-winning memoirs, answering questions related to ship-building which were proposed by the French Académie Royale des Sciences in the years 1737, 1755, and 1757. The volume hosts two further items: a popularizing text on astronomy from 1723, and the theory of the spiral pump, a technical item from 1772. In the introductory part of the volume every memoir is analysed and extensively summarized, so the reader should obtain a clear view of the content in modern terms.

Product Description
The works from Daniel Bernoulli's youth contained in this first volume of his Collected Works bear witness above all of his versatility; they deal with subjects as different as physiology, formal logic, mathematical analysis, hydrodynamics and positional astronomy. Daniel Bernoulli's contacts with Italian scientists gave rise to several controversies. The present volume documents both sides in each of these debates, which culminated with the publication of Bernoulli's first book Exercitationes mathe- maticae in 1724. The discussions with the renowned mathematician Jacopo Riccati on second-order differential equations and on the Newtonian theory of the out-flow of fluids from vessels deserve particular interest. A third group of texts goes back to the time Bernoulli spent at the newly- founded Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, where he had been appointed in 1725. There he worked out two more contributions to physiological research - on muscle movement and on the blind spot in the human eye - as well as his only paper in positional astronomy. This last work - suggested by a prize question of the Paris Académie des Sciences - became the occasion for a vehement conflict; the present volume documents these "Zänkereien" (squabbles) and also reproduces three competing treatises. To complete the documentation of Daniel Bernoulli's work on physiology, the volume also includes his academic ceremonial speech De Vita of 1737, where he sketches for the first time the circulation of the work done by the human heart, and its elaboration by Bernoulli's student Daniel Passavant. ...

Excerpt: Sir Isaac Newton FRS (4 January 1643 31 March 1727 ) was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian who is considered by many scholars and members of the general public to be one of the most influential people in human history. His 1687 publication of the Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (usually called the Principia) is considered to be among the most influential books in the history of science, laying the groundwork for most of classical mechanics. In this work, Newton described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion which dominated the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries. Newton showed that the motions of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies are governed by the same set of natural laws by demonstrating the consistency between Kepler's laws of planetary motion and his theory of gravitation, thus removing the last dou...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=14627 ...

Il est lauréat du prix Nobel de physique de 1913 . Il a aussi participé à la découverte de la supraconductivité. Onnes débute ses études universitaires à Groningue. Il étudie ensuite à l'Université d'Heidelberg de 1871 à 1873 notamment sous la direction de Robert Wilhelm Bunsen et Gustav Kirchhoff. Il retourne ensuite à Groningue où il obtient son master en 1878 et son doctorat en 1879 avec une thèse intitulée Nieuwe bewijzen voor de aswenteling der aarde (nouvelles preuves de la rotation de la terre). De 1878 à 1882, il est assistant de Johannes Bosscha, alors directeur de l'école polytechnique de Delft, qu'il remplace en tant que lecteur de 1881 à 1882. De 1882 à 1923, Onnes est professeur de physique expérimentale à l'Université de Leyde. En 1904, il fonde un grand laboratoire de cryogénie et y attire d'autres chercheurs, ce qui contribue à sa reconnaissance par la communauté scientifique. Il est le premier à réussir à liquéfier de l'hélium le 10 juillet 1908 à l'aide de cryostats, ce qui lui vaut la Médaille Franklin en 1915.

August 1662 in Paris) war ein französischer Mathematiker, Physiker, Literat, katholischer Philosoph. Pascal stammte aus einer alten, in zweiter Generation amtsadeligen Familie der Auvergne. Sein Vater hatte in Paris Jura studiert und etwas später das Amt des zweiten Vorsitzenden Richters am Obersten Steuergerichtshof der Auvergne in Clermont-Ferrand gekauft. Die Mutter, Antoinette Begon, kam aus einer wohlhabenden Kaufmannsfamilie, die ebenfalls in den Amtsadel (Noblesse de robe) strebte. Pascal hatte zwei Schwestern, die drei Jahre ältere Gilberte (die später seine Nachlassverwalterin und erste Biographin wurde) sowie die zwei Jahre jüngere Jacqueline, von deren Geburt sich die Mutter nicht erholte, so dass Pascal mit drei Jahren Halbwaise wurde.

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The wave equation is an important second-order linear partial differential equation of waves, such as sound waves, light waves and water waves. It arises in fields such as acoustics, electromagnetics, and fluid dynamics. Historically, the problem of a vibrating string such as that of a musical instrument was studied by Jean le Rond d'Alembert, Leonhard Euler, Daniel Bernoulli, and Joseph-Louis Lagrange. Also note that a wave may be superimposed onto another movement (for instance sound propagation in a moving medium like a gas flow). In that case the scalar u will contain a Mach factor (which is positive for the wave moving along the flow and negative for the reflected wave). The elastic wave equation in three dimensions describes the propagation of waves in an isotropic homogeneous elastic medium. Most solid materials are elastic, so this equation describes such phenomena as seismic waves in the Earth and ultrasonic waves used to detect flaws in materials. ... Read more
