Abstract
THERE are few mathematicians who do not vividly recollect the difficulties they experienced when reading “Rigid Dynamics” for the first time. Mr. Loudon's treatise does much to smooth away these difficulties; and if it still leaves undone much that might have been done in simplifying the subject for beginners, it nevertheless fills a gap the existence of which has long been felt among teachers.
An Elementary Treatise on Rigid Dynamics.
By W. J. Loudon, Demonstrator in Physics in the University of Toronto. Demy 8vo, pp. ix + 236. (London: Macmillan and Co., 1896.)
