An Elementary Treatise on Dynamics, containing Applications to Thermodynamicso, &c

Abstract

PROFESSOR WILLIAMSON is already so well known to the student by his excellent text-books of the Differential, and of the Integral, Calculus, that his appearance in a new field of authorship is sure to excite attention. We accordingly opened the present work with expectations of a very high order. Not, of course, expectations that much novelty of matter could be introduced in an elementary work on a subject which has been thoroughly threshed-out, but that possibly fresh interest and easier assimilability might be given to long-known facts and processes by some novel mode of presentation.

An Elementary Treatise on Dynamics, containing Applications to Thermodynamicso, &c.

By Benjamin Williamson Francis A. Tarleton (London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1885.)
