Mathematical And Physical Papers V1 (1880)

Mathematical and Physical Papers Volume 1 is a collection of scientific writings by George Gabriel Stokes, a prominent mathematician and physicist of the 19th century. The book contains a selection of papers published by Stokes between the years 1842 and 1853. The papers cover a wide range of topics, including hydrodynamics, optics, and mathematical analysis. The book begins with an introduction to Stokes' life and work, providing readers with a brief overview of his contributions to the field of mathematics and physics. The papers themselves are organized into three sections, each focusing on a specific area of research. The first section deals with hydrodynamics, including papers on the motion of fluids in pipes and channels, the flow of water over a weir, and the theory of waves. The second section focuses on optics, with papers on the diffraction of light, the polarization of light, and the theory of the rainbow. The final section contains papers on mathematical analysis, including Stokes' work on calculus and the theory of functions. Throughout the book, Stokes' writing is clear and concise, making the complex concepts he discusses accessible to readers with a background in mathematics and physics. Mathematical and Physical Papers Volume 1 is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of science, as well as for researchers in the fields of mathematics and physics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
