A System Of Analytic Mechanics

by Benjamin Peirce

A System of Analytic Mechanics is a book written by Benjamin Peirce and first published in 1855. The book is a comprehensive treatise on the principles of mechanics, covering topics such as kinematics, dynamics, and the laws of motion. It is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field of mechanics. The book is divided into several sections, each covering a specific aspect of mechanics. The first section deals with the fundamental principles of mechanics, including the laws of motion and the conservation of energy. The second section covers kinematics, which is the study of motion without considering the forces that cause it. The third section deals with dynamics, which is the study of motion in relation to the forces that cause it. The book also includes numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand the concepts presented. Overall, A System of Analytic Mechanics is an important work in the field of mechanics, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
