Mathematical Tracts Part One: On Laplace's Coefficients; The Figure Of The Earth; The Motion Of A Rigid Body About Its Center Of Gravity And Precess

By Matthew O'Brien

Book Overview

Mathematical Tracts Part One: On Laplace�������s Coefficients; The Figure Of The Earth; The Motion Of A Rigid Body About Its Center Of Gravity And Precession And Nutation (1840) is a book written by M. Matthew O�������Brien. The book is a collection of mathematical tracts that discuss various topics related to mathematics and physics. The first tract discusses Laplace's coefficients, which are mathematical formulas used to calculate the gravitational potential of a celestial body. The second tract discusses the figure of the Earth, which is the shape of the Earth's surface. The third tract discusses the motion of a rigid body about its center of gravity, which is an important concept in physics. The final tract discusses precession and nutation, which are two types of motion that occur in rotating bodies. The book is written in a clear and concise style and is suitable for students and professionals in the fields of mathematics and physics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
