The Principles of Mechanics Presented in a New Form

This  classic created a new system of mechanics based on space, time, and mass, taking into account logic, observation, and "a priori" elements. The two-part treatment begins with the geometry and kinematics of material systems and concludes with the mechanics of material systems. 1900 edition.

German physicist HEINRICH RUDOLF HERTZ (1857-1894) confirmed the existence of radio waves and paved the way for our age of wireless communication, and just before his untimely death, he completed this treatise that created a system of mechanics in terms of space, time, and mass.

Fusing theory and experiment, philosophy and logic, and extending Newtonian mechanics for the era before quantum physics, this now-classic work covers:

* positions and displacements of points and systems * on the straightest distance in holonomous systems * kinematics * motion of free and unfree systems * discontinuities of motion * and more.

The foundational work of mathematics and physics will intrigue all those interested in our modern scientific understanding of the world.
