From Euclid to Eddington: A Study of Conceptions of the External World
From Euclid to Eddington: A Study of Conceptions of the External World Summary:By Sir Edmund Whittaker
from the Preface: This book represents the substance of the Tarner Lectures of 1947, in which I attempted to trace the development of theories in natural philosophy from the rediscovery of Euclid by Western scholars to the prescnt time. The lectures were not intended to be a summary of present-day knowledge in physics, nor yet a chronicle of particular discoveries, but rather a history of the evolution of concepts and principles, especially such as have provoked long controversies, in some cases still unsettled. I have tried to disengage the essential ideas from the intricacy of the mathematical presentation. password: gigapedia NEWER EBOOKSSponsored LinksFrom Euclid to Eddington: A Study of Conceptions of the External World Keywordslectures euclid evolution concepts principles discoveries chronicle present day knowledge physics provoked controversies intricacy mathematical presentation gigapedia ideas essential cases unsettled disengage intended scholars whittaker ix b001qai3iy edmund sir tarner lectures edmund whittaker |
