Mathematical and Physical Papers - and Physical Paper

Klappentext The collected papers of Sir George Stokes! the outstanding and influential nineteenth-century Cambridge mathematician. Zusammenfassung Sir George Stokes established the science of hydrodynamics with his law of viscosity describing the velocity of a small sphere through a viscous fluid. He published no books! and these collected papers (issued between 1880 and 1905) constitute the main surviving record of the work of this outstanding mathematician. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
