Dynamics for Beginners (Classic Reprint) - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Excerpt from Dynamics for Beginners

I have adopted a suggestion, - due I believe to Mr Hayward, of Harrow School - that the first part of the book should treat exclusively of Linear Dynamics; thus avoiding, at the beginning of the'~ subject, all purely geometrical difficulties.

It will be found that, with the exception of one or two Articles, Sections I. And IV. (which may be read separately, and in which the fundamental Principles of Dynamics are explained) demand only a know ledge of Simple Equations in Algebra. In no case is any greater knowledge on the part of the Student assumed, than is denoted by Progressions in Algebra, the Trigonometry of one Angle, and (in Chapters IX. And X.) the Parabola.

I have ventured to suggest names for the units of velocity and acceleration, the use of which will be found to simplify considerably the language of the subject.

I should be greatly obliged to those who may make use of the book if they would point out any defects or obscurities in the text or would offer suggestions for its improvement.
