Bücher von Horace Lamb

A Treatise On The Mathematical Theory Of The Motion Of Fluids is a comprehensive book written by Horace Lamb in the year 1879. The book is an extensive study on the mathematical theory of fluid motion, covering topics such as the dynamics of fluids, fluid flow around obstacles, and the behavior of fluids under different conditions. Lamb's work is considered to be a classic in the field of fluid dynamics, and it has been widely used as a reference book by scholars and researchers in the field. The book is divided into three main parts, each of which covers a specific area of fluid mechanics. Part one deals with the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics, including the equations of motion and the laws of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. Part two focuses on the study of ideal fluids, including the properties of potential flows, vortex motion, and the behavior of fluids in two dimensions. Part three covers the behavior of real fluids, including the effects of viscosity, turbulence, and compressibility. The book also includes numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand the concepts presented in each chapter. Overall, A Treatise On The Mathematical Theory Of The Motion Of Fluids is an essential resource for anyone interested in the mathematical theory of fluid motion, and it remains a valuable reference book for scholars and researchers in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

Sir Horace Lamb (1849-1934) the British mathematician, wrote a number of influential works in classical physics. A pupil of Stokes and Clerk Maxwell, he taught for ten years as the first professor of mathematics at the University of Adelaide before returning to Britain to take up the post of professor of physics at the Victoria University of Manchester (where he had first studied mathematics at Owens College). As a teacher and writer his stated aim was clarity: 'somehow to make these dry bones live'. The first edition of this work was published in 1897, the third revised edition in 1919, and a further corrected version just before his death. This edition, reissued here, remained in print until the 1950s. As with Lamb's other textbooks, each section is followed by examples.

His Dynamics was first published in 1914 and the second edition, offered here, in 1923: it remained in print until the 1960s. It was intended as a sequel to his Statics (also reissued in this series), and like its predecessor is a textbook with examples.

It was intended as a textbook for students with some knowledge of mechanics, and deals mainly with two-dimensional problems: examples are provided at the end of each section.

A Treatise on the Mathematical Theory of the Motion of Fluids is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1879.Hansebooks is editor of the literature on different topic areas such as research and science, travel and expeditions, cooking and nutrition, medicine, and other genres. As a publisher we focus on the preservation of historical literature. Many works of historical writers and scientists are available today as antiques only. Hansebooks newly publishes these books and contributes to the preservation of literature which has become rare and historical knowledge for the future.

This reissue of the classic 1932 edition of Lamb's Hydrodynamics is an indication of this work's lasting value. Constantly in use since its publication in 1892, it has proved to be the definitive reference for all fluid dynamicists. A new foreword highlights the prominence of the publication in the field.

This second edition of Higher Mechanics was first published in 1929, providing revisions and additions to the 1920 publication. Though originally intended to be an elementary introduction to three-dimensional kinematics, statics and dynamics, this book is a classic example of Lamb's work and will also be of interest to those wishing to explore the history of mathematical theory.
