Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book contains solutions to problems and riders set in the mathematical tripos examination for 1878. The volume covers a diverse range of topics in mathematics, including geometry, trigonometry, calculus, dynamics, and hydrostatics. The author provides step-by-step solutions to the problems, offering detailed explanations that make the material accessible to readers. The book is a valuable resource for students preparing for the tripos examination or anyone interested in deepening their understanding of mathematical concepts. By studying the solutions to these problems, readers can gain insights into the methods used to solve complex mathematical problems and develop their own problem-solving skills. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Softcover. Condition: Gut. London, Strangeways 1872. 4°. 50 p. Pbck. (Dedication by the author on frontcover, private stamp on frontcover, with crease).- Offprint from Memoirs of the Royal Astronomical Society, Vol. XXXIX.- "Glaisher's first astronomical paper also typified his interest: 'The law of the Facility.', publisheed in the Memoirs of the Royal Astronomical Society for 1872. This paper was inspired by a historical note in an American Journal giving Robert Adrian credit for the independent dicovery of Gauss's law of errrors. A.R. Forsyth labels it, along with a paper on Jacopo Riccati's differential equation and one on the history of plus and minus signs, as 'classical'. (DSB V,414).…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a non-standard approach to continuous geometric deformation of surfaces, allowing for more intuitive deformations than previous concepts. The author's primary contribution is a more thorough examination of the nature of surfaces; previous research would make assumptions about the surfaces that the author avoids. The text offers a more intuitive and accessible platform toward the study of topology. Overall, the book provides a deeper understanding of surfaces and geometric deformation.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Moyen. Livre RefAbe New19111705 Ref020 Hachette 1870 in-4 abondamment illustré reliure en très mauvais état intérieur correct sans rousseurs Etat correct . James Glaisher (1809-1903), météorologue britannique de renom, entreprit entre 1862 et 1866 une série d ascensions scientifiques audacieuses qui repoussèrent les limites de l exploration atmosphérique. Ses observations rigoureuses à des altitudes extrêmes, atteignant parfois plus de 9 000 mètres, permirent de collecter des données météorologiques et barométriques essentielles à la compréhension des phénomènes atmosphériques. Ces voyages périlleux, dont certains faillirent lui coûter la vie, marquèrent une étape fondamentale dans la naissance de la météorologie moderne. Publié à l origine sous le titre Travels in the Air, cet ouvrage rassemble les récits détaillés de ses principales expéditions aériennes. Glaisher y conjugue précision scientifique et sens du récit, documentant avec minutie les variations de température, de pression et d humidité tout en restituant l expérience sensorielle unique du vol en ballon. Les gravures qui accompagnent le texte témoignent de cette double ambition : servir la science sans renoncer à l émerveillement. Mêlant science, spéculation et imagination, l ouvrage décrit différentes machines et procédés envisagés pour voler : ballons, aérostats, et premières idées d aéronefs motorisés ainsi que les principes physiques (portance, pression, résistance de l air) qui gouvernent le vol. L ouvrage alterne entre récits d expériences réelles de montgolfières, projets techniques détaillés et essais littéraires situant le vol dans un horizon social et philosophique : progrès, sécurité, usages commerciaux et militaires. Flammarion ajoute une perspective scientifique-populaire, reliant phénomènes météorologiques, courants aériens et navigation, et insiste sur l importance d observations méthodiques pour développer la pratique. L ouvrage témoigne du foisonnement d idées à la fin du XIXe siècle mélange d optimisme technique et d incertitudes et joue un rôle de diffusion auprès du grand public. Il est un stimulant de l intérêt pour l aviation naissante et la réflexion sur ses conséquences économiques et culturelles. Chaque aéronaute raconte en détails ses vols. Il les enrichit de ses constatations scientifiques et météorologiques ainsi que les problèmes techniques auxquels il est confronté. Les différents vols des uns et des autres ont lieu en Angleterre, en France, en Prusse et même au Pôle Nord. Lire Glaisher aujourd hui, c est redécouvrir l époque héroïque où l exploration du ciel exigeait un courage aussi grand que la curiosité scientifique. C est aussi comprendre comment l observation méthodique et l audace personnelle ont permis de percer les mystères de notre atmosphère, ouvrant la voie aux sciences météorologiques contemporaines.

Croydon, 6 November 1899. James Whitbread Lee Glaisher (1848-1928) son of James Glaisher, the meteorologist, was a prolific English mathematician and astronomer. Influential in his time on teaching at the University of Cambridge, he is now remembered mostly for work in number theory that anticipated later interest in the detailed properties of modular forms. He published widely over other fields of mathematics. He was the editor-in-chief of Messenger of Mathematics. He was also the tutor of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. He was president of the Royal Astronomical Society 1886-1888 and 1901-1903.…
