    The Scope and Sources of Gilbert Ames Bliss' Contributions to World War I Era Ballistics

    de Alan Gluchoff ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    This monograph explores the history of the contribution to ballistics by the American mathematician Gilbert Ames Bliss during World War I. Drawing on the then-evolving calculus of variations, Bliss pioneered a novel technique for solving the problem of differential variations in ballistic trajectory. Called Bliss’ adjoint method, this technique was both hailed and criticized at the time: it was ... Leer más

  • The Enigma of the Aerofoil

    Rival Theories in Aerodynamics, 1909-1930

    de David Bloor ...
    Why do aircraft fly? How do their wings support them? In the early years of aviation, there was an intense dispute between British and German experts over the question of why and how an aircraft wing provides lift. The British, under the leadership of the great Cambridge mathematical physicist Lord Rayleigh, produced highly elaborate investigations of the nature of discontinuous flow, while the ... Leer más

  • Chases and Escapes

    The Mathematics of Pursuit and Evasion

    de Paul J. Nahin ...
    Series series Princeton Puzzlers
    We all played tag when we were kids. What most of us don't realize is that this simple chase game is in fact an application of pursuit theory, and that the same principles of games like tag, dodgeball, and hide-and-seek are also at play in military strategy, high-seas chases by the Coast Guard, and even romantic pursuits. In Chases and Escapes, Paul Nahin gives us the first complete history of ... Leer más

  • Mathematical Analysis

    A Very Short Introduction

    de Richard Earl ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, sharp, inspiring The 17th-century calculus of Newton and Leibniz was built on shaky foundations, and it wasn't until the 18th and 19th centuries that mathematicians--especially Bolzano, Cauchy, and Weierstrass--began to establish a rigorous basis for the subject. The resulting discipline is now known to mathematicians as analysis. This book, aimed at readers ... Leer más
