A History of the Theory of Elasticity and of the Strength of Materials : From Galilei to the Present Time

Omtale

A distinguished mathematician and notable university teacher, Isaac Todhunter (1820–84) became known in his time for his successful textbooks. Edited and completed by Karl Pearson (1857–1936), and published between 1886 and 1893, this three-part work traces the mathematical understanding of elasticity from Galileo to Lord Kelvin.
