Excerpt from The Principles of Mechanics: Presented in a New Form
The volume now published is Heinrich Hertz's last work. To it he devoted the last three years of his life. The general features were settled and the greater part of the book written within about a year; the remaining two years were spent in working up the details. At the end of this time the author regarded the first part of the book as quite finished, and the second half as practically finished. He had arranged to work once more through the second half. But soon his plans became only hopes, and his hopes were doomed to disappointment. Death was soon to claim him in the prime of his power. Shortly before he died he forwarded to the publishers the greater part of the manuscript. At the same time he sent for me and asked me to edit the book, in case he should not be able to see it through the press.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental principles of mechanics, exploring the intricate relationship between space, time, mass, and force. The author meticulously examines the historical evolution of these concepts, tracing their development from the pioneering works of Archimedes and Galileo to the groundbreaking insights of Newton and Lagrange. Through rigorous analysis and thought-provoking examples, the author challenges conventional notions and sheds new light on the physical meaning of mechanical principles. The book grapples with profound questions about the nature of force and the logical consistency of existing theories. By carefully dissecting the elements of mechanics, the author strives to create a comprehensive and unambiguous framework for understanding the motion of material bodies. This treatise is not merely a technical exposition but a philosophical exploration of the foundations of a scientific discipline. It invites readers to question assumptions, refine their understanding, and appreciate the interconnectedness of fundamental concepts. Ultimately, the book's insights serve as a testament to the enduring power and intellectual richness of mechanics, offering a fresh perspective on the laws that govern the physical world.
