Více o knize

The book is divided into two sections: the first focuses on foundational concepts, essential theorems, and isoperimetric problems, while the second explores various applications across disciplines such as geometrical optics, particle dynamics, elasticity theory, electrostatics, and quantum mechanics. It aims to make classic works from the early 1900s accessible again, providing high-quality modern editions that preserve the original text and illustrations.
