About this Item

xii, 414 pp. Original cloth. Corners of covers a little bumped and worn (see photos for corners). Very Good. First Edition. SIGNED BY EDMUND WHITTAKER (on the front flyleaf, see photos): "E T Whittaker/ To his mother." "Whittaker will long be read, since his textbooks on several diverse branches of mathematics have become classics. Whittaker's Analytical Dynamics . . . was the first book to give a systematic account in English of the superbly beautiful theory that springs from Hamilton's equations; and it was of fundamental importance in the development of the quantum theory" (D.S.B. 14: 317).
