Explore the advanced math of motion, curves, and the heavens.
This new edition delves into the theory and practice of fluxions, offering improvements and problem solving across exponential functions, spherical triangles, and the dynamics of bodies in resisting media. Rich in method and application, it guides readers through practical techniques used in astronomy and physics, with clear, step‑by‑step derivations.
Thomas Simpson’s work extends the calculus of fluxions into complex terrains such as the fluxions of exponentials, the sides and angles of spherical triangles, and the motion of bodies under gravity and resistance. The text emphasizes both the underlying theory and its real‑world uses, presenting rules, propositions, and worked examples that illuminate how these ideas apply to practical problems in mathematics and the natural sciences.
- New improvements in the theory of fluxions, including variable exponents and exponential functions.
- Methods for analyzing the fluxions of sides and angles in spherical triangles with practical examples.
- Applications to gravity, resistance, and the motion of bodies in curved paths and under varied media.
Ideal for readers with an interest in historical mathematics, advanced calculus, and the foundations of applied physics.
