About this Item
8vo. viii, 350, [2] pp. 88 figs. Original quarter brown gilt-stamped calf, black grained boards. University of Geneva Library rubberstamps on title and half-title. Very good. Second edition (first issued in 1869). The text was arranged in two parts (thermodynamics & electricity), issued posthumously, with a preface by E. Mascart. Briot was a French mathematician who won the Poncelet Prize in 1882. "Briot's studies on heat, light, and electricity were based on the hypothesis of the existence in the ether of imponderable molecules acting upon each other, as well as upon the ponderable molecules of matter. Particularly in his study of the crystalline medium, he linked his findings to Pasteur's experimental work on the dissymmetry of crystals. These studies, which were conducted from a mathematical point of view, led to the simplification of methods for integral calculus and the advance of the theories of elliptic and Abelian functions. To honor him for this work, the Gottingen Academy named him a corresponding member." â Â" DSB II. Seller Inventory # RW1330
