The Theory Of Elliptic Integrals: And The Properties Of Surfaces Of The Second Order, Applied To The Investigation Of The Motion Of A Body Round A Fixed Point (1851)

The Theory of Elliptic Integrals and the Properties of Surfaces of the Second Order, Applied to the Investigation of the Motion of a Body Round a Fixed Point is a book written by James Booth in 1851. The book covers the mathematical theory of elliptic integrals and their applications to the study of the motion of a body around a fixed point. The author explores the properties of surfaces of the second order and their relationship to elliptic integrals, providing a comprehensive overview of the subject matter. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field of mathematics. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the theory of elliptic integrals and their applications to the study of motion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

James Booth edited Philip Larkin's early girls'-school stories and poems as "Trouble at Willow Gables and Other Fictions" and has published two critical studies of the poet's work: "Philip Larkin: Writer" (1991) and"Philip Larkin: The Poet's Plight" (2005). He is Literary Adviser to the Philip Larkin Society and Co-Editor of its journal, "About Larkin". He recently retired from the Department of English at the University of Hull, where he had been a colleague of Larkin for seventeen years.
