Abstract
THE logical order of arrangement has been carefully attended to in this book: Part I., on “Kinematics,” building up a new subject on the foundation of Euclid's axioms in conjunction with the idea of the variables, such as velocity and acceleration, due to the flow of time; while Part II., on “Dynamics,” requires three new axioms—Newton's Laws of Motion—to make a fresh start and connect mechanical effects with their causes.
An Elementary Treatise on Kinematics and Dynamics.
By James Gordon MacGregor, &c., Munro Professor of Physics, Dalhousie College, Halifax, N.S. (London: Macmillan and Co., 1887.)
