Book Description
Excerpt from Two Geometrical Memoirs on the General Properties of Cones of the Second Degree, and on the Spherical Conics The two Memoirs by M. Chasles, On the Properties of Cones of the second Degree, and On the Spherical Conics, of which a translation is now presented to Eng lish geometers, were printed in the sixth volume of the Transactions of the Royal Academy of Brussels. Whe ther they are considered merely as exercises of pure geometry, exhibiting its elegance and power in a re markable degree, or as a rich and early contribution to the theory of spherical curves, they possess strong claims on the attention of mathematicians. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Figuring Space
Author: Gilles Châtelet
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9789048152872
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In Figuring Space Gilles Châtelet seeks to capture the problem of intuition of mobility in philosophy, mathematics and physics. This he does by means of virtuality and intensive quantities (Oresme, Leibniz), wave-particle duality and perspective diagrams, philosophy of nature and Argand's and Grassman's geometric discoveries and, finally, Faraday's, Maxwell's and Hamilton's electrophilosophy. This tumultuous relationship between mathematics, physics and philosophy is presented in terms of a comparison between intuitive practices and Discursive practices. The following concepts are treated in detail: The concept of virtuality; thought experiments; diagrams; special relativity; German Naturphilosophie and `Romantic' science. Readership: The book does not require any considerable mathematical background, but it does insist that the reader quit the common instrumental conception of language. It will interest professional philosophers, mathematicians, physicists, and even younger scientists eager to understand the `unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics'.

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
This volume brings together, from a wide range of experience, such information as may be useful in recognizing, avoiding, controlling, designing for, and correcting movement. Current geologic concepts and engineering principles and techniques are introduced, and both the analysis and control of soil and rock-slopes are addressed. New methods of stability analysis and the use of computer techniques in implementing these methods are included. Rock slope engineering and the selecting of shear-strength parameters for slope-stability analyses are covered in separate chapters.
