Description for Euler as Physicist
Paperback. Classical mechanics are reconstructed in terms of the program initiated by Euler in 1736 and its completion over the following decades until 1760. This book examines how Euler coordinated his progress in mathematics with his progress in physics. Num Pages: 362 pages, 15 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBX; PHD. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 234 x 156 x 19. Weight in Grams: 557.
In this book the exceptional role of Leonhard Euler in the history of science will be analyzed and emphasized, especially demonstrated for his fundamental cont- butions to physics. Although Euler is famous as the leading mathematician of the 18th century his contributions to physics are as important and rich of new methods and solutions. There are many books devoted to Euler as mathematician, but not as physicist. In the past decade, special attention had been directed at the development of science in the 18th century. In three distinguished tercentenary celebrations in - casion of the births of Pierre Louis Moreau ... Read more
