Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First Edition, second printing. xi, 238 pp; figs. Original cloth. Near Fine, without dust jacket (as issued). 'This case study examines the interrelationship between mathematics and physics in the work of one of the major figures of the Scientific Revolution, the Dutch mathematician, physicist, and astronomer, Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695). Professor Yoder offers a detailed account of the discoveries that Huygens made at the end of 1659, including the invention of a pendulum clock that theoretically kept absolutely uniform time, and the creation of a mathematical theory of evolutes. She also describes the way that each of these important discoveries arose from the interaction of Huygens' mathematics and physics. A discussion of Huygens' relationship with other scientists and the priority disputes that sometimes motivated his research help place his work in the context of the period. The reception of Huygens' masterpiece, the Horologium Oscillatorium of 1673 and the place of evolutes in the history of mathematics are also analyzed. Finally, the role of Huygens in the rise of applied mathematics is addressed' (Cambridge University Press Web site).…

CONTENT: "This case study examines the interrelationship between mathematics and physics in the work of one of the major figures of the Scientific Revolution: the Dutch mathematician, physicist, and astronomer, Christian Huygens (1629-1695). Joella Yoder details the creative interaction that led Huygens to invent a pendulum clock that theoretically beat absolutely uniform time, to measure the constant of gravitational acceleration, to analyze centrifugal force, and to create the mathematical theory of evolutes. In the second half of the book, Dr Yoder places Huygens's work in the context of his time by examining his relationship with other scientists and the priority disputes that sometimes motivated his research. The role of evolutes in the history of mathematics is analyzed; the reception of Huygens's masterpiece, the Horologium Oscillatorium of 1673, is described; and finally, the part that Christian Huygens played in the rise of applied mathematics is addressed." - Publisher. >Guaranteed secure packaging, free tracking, and no-hassle return policy. …

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 8vo (23.5 cm), XI, 238 pp. Publisher's black cloth boards, title panel in blue and gold to upper board. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper. A detailed study of the creative interplay between mathematics and physics in the work of Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695), developed from the author's doctoral dissertation. The book traces the development of Huygens' work on time measurement and mechanics, showing how mathematical reasoning and physical insight were mutually constitutive in his approach to natural philosophy. The first half follows, in a sequence of focused studies, the conceptual and mathematical steps leading to Huygens' invention of the isochronous pendulum clock: his analysis of gravity and uniformly accelerated motion (including engagement with problems posed by Mersenne and Riccioli), his treatment of centrifugal force in De Vi Centrifuga, his investigation of curvilinear motion and the cycloid, the mathematical theory of evolutes, and his broader conception of curvature in relation to the work of Apollonius, Newton, and Leibniz. The second half situates these developments within their wider scientific context, addressing priority disputes with contemporaries, the reception of the Horologium Oscillatorium (1673), and Huygens' role in the emergence of applied mathematics in the seventeenth century. A notable methodological feature is the author's close engagement with unpublished manuscript sources, including calculations and marginal workings not reproduced in the Oeuvres complètes. Illustrated with reproductions of Huygens' manuscript figures, drawn primarily from the working papers held at the University of Leiden. Inscribed by Author(s).…
