Excerpt from A Treatise on the Application of Generalised Coordinates: To the Kinetics of a Material SystemThe treatment of the kinetics of a material system by the method of generalised coordinates was first introduced by Lagrange, and has since his time been greatly developed by the investigations of different mathematicians.Independently of the highly interesting, although purely abstract science of theoretical dynamics which has resulted from these investigations, they have proved of great and continually increasing value in the application of mechanics to thermal, electrical and chemical theories, and the whole range of molecular physics.The object of the following short treatise is to conduct the student to the most important results hitherto obtained in this subject, by demonstrations free from intricate analysis and based, as far as possible, upon the direct application of mechanical and geometrical considerations.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
