Mathematical Treatise on the Motion of Projectiles (Classic Reprint): Founded Chiefly on the Result of Experiments Made With the Author's Chronograph: ... the Author's Chronograph (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Mathematical Treatise on the Motion of Projectiles is a classic study that blends experiment and theory to map how air resistance shapes projectile paths.

This edition foregrounds the author’s chronograph experiments and their use in calculating trajectories. It explains how early work laid the groundwork for understanding ballistics and why later revisions remain valuable for students of physics and military engineering.

• Clear, step-by-step description of how projectiles move through the air, with practical focus on trajectory calculation.


• Discussion of different shot shapes and how their heads influence results in experiments.


• Historical context showing how measurements and methods evolved in the 19th century.


• Connection between theory and real-world applications in artillery science.
