The Theory Of Elliptic Integrals

Focusing on the mathematical theory of elliptic integrals, this book delves into their applications in understanding the motion of a body around a fixed point. James Booth examines the properties of surfaces of the second order and their connections to elliptic integrals, offering a thorough overview suitable for both students and professionals. Written in a clear style, it serves as a valuable resource for those interested in this area of mathematics. The book is a facsimile reprint of the original 1851 edition, preserving its cultural significance.
