The Science Of Mechanics - Ernst Mach - Bog

The Science of Mechanics: A Critical and Historical Account of Its Development is a book written by Ernst Mach in 1915. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the development of mechanics, including its history and critical analysis. Mach was a prominent physicist and philosopher who made significant contributions to the study of mechanics, and in this book, he presents a detailed examination of the subject.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the history of mechanics, tracing its development from ancient times to the modern era. The second part focuses on the critical analysis of mechanics, examining its fundamental concepts and principles. The third part looks at the practical applications of mechanics, including its use in engineering and technology.Throughout the book, Mach emphasizes the importance of empirical observation and experimentation in the development of mechanics. He also critiques various theories and concepts in mechanics, including Newton's laws of motion and the concept of force. Mach's approach to the subject is highly analytical, and he draws on a wide range of historical and contemporary sources to support his arguments.Overall, The Science of Mechanics is a seminal work in the history of physics and mechanics. It provides a detailed and critical analysis of the subject, and its insights continue to influence the study of mechanics to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
