Abstract
ATTENTION has been directed in more than one recent review to the tendency to over elaboration in the standard treatises to which an English reader would naturally turn for information on such branches of applied mathematics as the principle of least action, the potentials of ellipsoids, or the equations of motion of a perfect fluid. What has been said already must be said again, in order to make good the claims which Prof. Webster puts forward in his preface, and to prove that this book, written by an American and published in Germany, fills a distinct want.
The Dynamics of Particles and of Rigid, Elastic, and Fluid Bodies.
By Prof. Arthur Gordon Webster. Pp. xii + 588. (Leipzig: B. G. Teubner, 1904.) Price 10 marks.
