Hobson E W Ernest William (8 results)

Original Navy Cloth Hardback. Condition: Good. First Edition. 1931. xi, 500pp. Ernest William Hobson (1856-1933) was a prominent English mathematician who held the position of Sadleirian Professor at the University of Cambridge from 1910 to 1931. In this volume Hobson focuses on the forms and analytical properties of the functions which arise in connection with those solutions of Laplace's equation which are adapted to the case of particular boundary problems. The investigations take into account functions not, as was the case when they were originally introduced, confined to the cases where degree and order are integral. This is a highly informative book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in spherical and ellipsoidal harmonics. Contents include: The transformation of Laplace's equation; The solution of Laplace's equation in polar coordinates; The Legendre's associated functions; Spherical harmonics; Representaton of function by series; and Ellipsoidal harmonics; etc. Ex-college library book.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 1st American Edition, dark green c w/gilt spine titles; owner's name; 500 clean, unmarked pages/index.the book focuses on solving Laplace's equation and related partial differential equations in spherical and non-spherical (ellipsoidal) geometries. It provides mathematical tools?specifically harmonic functions?to model physical fields like gravitation, electrostatics, and wave propagation, particularly when boundary surfaces are not perfectly spherical.
