Excerpt from The Scientific Papers of J. Willard Gibbs, Vol. 2 of 2: Dynamics, Vector Analysis and Multiple Algebra, Electromagnetic Theory of Light, Etc The condition that the point shall not penetrate the body gives another condition for the value of it. If the point remains upon the surface, A must have a certain value N, determined by the form of the surface and the velocity of the point. If the value of d' is less than this, the point must penetrate the body. Therefore, But this does not suffice to determine the acceleration of the point. Let us now apply formula (6) to the same problem. Since ii cannot be less than N, if s, 65620. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Beginning with a couple of essays dealing with the experimental and mathematical foundations of physics in the work of Henry Cavendish and Joseph Fourier, the volume goes on to consider the broad areas of investigation that constituted the central foci of the development of the physics discipline in the nineteenth century: electricity and magnetism, including especially the work of Michael Faraday, William Thomson, and James Clerk Maxwell; and thermodynamics and matter theory, including the theoretical work and legacy of Josiah Willard Gibbs, some experimental work relating to thermodynamics and kinetic theory of Heinrich Hertz, and the work of Felix Seyler-Hoppe on hemoglobin in the neighboring field of biophysics/biochemistry. Moving on to the beginning of the twentieth century, a set of three articles on Albert Einstein deal with his early career and various influences on his work. Finally, a set of historiographical issues important for the history of physics are discussed, and the chronological conclusion of the volume is an article on the Solvay Conference of 1933. For physicists interested in the history of their discipline, historians and philosophers of science, and graduate students in these and related disciplines.
