"Well-written, thoughtfully prepared, and profusely illustrated, this text by the prominent experts provides a full exposition of fundamentals of solid mechanics and principles of mechanics, statics, and simple statically indeterminate systems. Additional topics include strain and stress in three-dimensional solids, elementary elasticity, stress-strain relations for plastic solids, and energy principles in solid continuum. "--
50 essays by eminent scholars include meditations on "Structures," Disciplines," "Space," "Function," "Group," "Probability," and "The Mathematical Epic" (Volume I) and on "Mathematics and the Human Intellect," "Mathematics and Technology," and "Mathematics and Civilization" (Volume II). 1962 edition.
A major statement of the language, method, and concepts of the physical sciences, this volume traces the history of experimental investigation and the efforts of philosophic minds to state and organize their findings. A classic in the philosophy of science, it introduced the concept of a general methodology underlying all science.
Account of combinatory analysis theorems shows their connections and unites them as parts of a general doctrine. Topics include symmetric functions, theory of number compositions, more. 1915, 1916, and 1920 editions.
A comprehensive mathematical treatment of the physical aspects of sound, this volume covers the theory of vibrations, the general theory of sound, and the equations of motion of strings, bars, membranes, pipes, and resonators. Additional topics include plane waves, spherical waves, simple harmonic waves, and more. 86 figures. 1925 edition.
Classic three-volume study. Volume 1 covers applications to geometry, expansion in series, definite integrals, and derivatives and differentials. Volume 2 explores functions of a complex variable and differential equations. Volume 3 surveys variations of solutions and partial differential equations of the second order and integral equations and calculus of variations.
Originally published in 1921, this mathematical work represents a significant contribution to the logical probability of propositions. Keynes effectively dismantled the classical theory, launching the "logical-relationist" theory of probability.
Intended for first-year graduate courses in heat transfer, including topics relevant to aerospace engineering and chemical and nuclear engineering, this hardcover book deals systematically and comprehensively with modern mathematical methods of solving problems in heat conduction and diffusion. Includes illustrative examples and problems, plus helpful appendixes. 134 illustrations. 1968 edition.
