Excerpt from The Doctrine of Germs: Or the Integration of Certain Partial Differential Equations Which Occur in Mathematical Physics
In the present as in a former work (1863) I have commenced with an elementary treatment of the general conic z'n plano, following out a suggestion made by Professor Adams in a course of lectures on the Lunar Theory delivered in 1861. This department of the subject has now been made more complete with the help of the Eccentric Circle, the characteristic feature of a masterly though neglected work of Boscovich. In the chapter on the Cone the focal spheres are more fully discussed, and the angle-properties of the sections as well as their metric properties are deduced. The chapter on Orthogonal Projection contains proofs of Lambert's theorem in elliptic motion. To the chapter on Conical Projection is appended some account of the homographic method of Rever.

Excerpt from The Doctrine of Germs: Or the Integration of Certain Partial Differential Equations Which Occur in Mathematical Physics
The method of integration by means of Germs adopted in this Treatise is based on the admitted principle that in the work of integrating a proposed differential equation we are free to avail ourselves of the advantages offered by any distinctive peculiarities that are perceived to exist in the equation itself prior to its integration. Any such peculiarity will, as a matter of course, impress a corresponding peculiarity on the integral to be found. Equations will therefore be classified according to their distinctive peculiarities, those peculiarities being indicated by the particular ways in which germs may be connected with the variables of a differential equation without disturbing or in any way affecting its form.
In this Treatise the differential equations that will be brought before the reader are all linear and partial, in consequence of which the doctrine of germs suitable for such equations admits of being presented in a form that is easily reduced to a system of singular efficiency. But there are certain other equations that are not linear, and which therefore do not fall under the system that will be developed in the following pages.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of geometry from the ancient Egyptians to the pre-Euclidean period, aiming to deepen the reader's understanding of how the subject developed from its rudimentary beginnings to the form in which it was presented in the Elements. It presents the latest research on the history of geometry, drawing on ancient sources to trace the theoretical and practical development of geometry in Egypt, Greece and other early civilisations. The author demonstrates the diverse foundations and methodologies that existed within geometry before Euclid, and how Greek mathematicians of the Classical period gradually transformed it into a rational and abstract science, culminating in Euclid's systematic axiomatic approach. Exploring how the key ideas of geometry were discovered and developed, the book reveals how geometry played a central role in the scientific and philosophical thinking of the ancient world. Its insights shed new light on the intellectual history of antiquity and reinforce the significance of geometry as a foundational discipline for mathematics and other fields of knowledge. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
