Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive and detailed exposition of the author's Physical Theory, which treats the sciences of Pure and Applied Calculation, the Principles of Geometry, Spherical Astronomy, Statics, Hydrostatics, Dynamics, and Physical Astronomy, culminating in a detailed mathematical treatment of the forces of Light, Heat, Electricity, Galvanism, Magnetism, and Gravity. The author sought to deduce correlations between the physical forces and explain them through a unifying mathematical theory. The book emerged from dissatisfaction with the state of physical science and attempted to revolutionize the field by providing rigorous mathematical foundations for physical phenomena. It remains significant as a historical exploration of the intersection of mathematics and physics.
