Editorial Reviews
Book Description
"This new edition...is doubly welcome, for not only does it make this classic generally available again and at a very reasonable price but it also contains a new introductory essay."- -British Journal for the Philosophy of Science
"Anyone with questions to ask about the foundations of classical mechanics will find answers here."--Scientific Monthly
"Great posthumous classic."--Applied Mechanics Review
A classic among studies of the logic of science, The Principles of Mechanics created a new system of mechanics based on space, time, and mass. It returned to axiomatic analysis and to the understanding of the formal or structural aspects of science, taking into account logic, observation, and a priori elements. The two-part treatment begins with the geometry and kinematics of material systems and concludes with the mechanics of material systems. Unabridged republication of the classic 1900 edition. Translated by D. E. Jones and J. T. Walley. 12-page preface by H. Helmholtz. Introduction by Robert S. Cohen, Wesleyan University.
