Abstract
THIS is a first course of dynamics intended for the use of science classes and colleges, and specially adapted to the requirements of the Science and Art Examinations in theoretical mechanics. The subject is treated mathematically, but the mathematical knowledge required for an intelligent perusal of the book is limited to elementary algebra and trigonometry. The fundamental units are thoroughly well explained, and, which is saying a great deal, they are used consistently throughout. Every important proposition is followed by a number of good examples fully worked out, and many others are given as exercises.
Dynamics and Hydrostatics.
