Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition. 8vo. pp. [iii]-ix, [iv], [ix]-xlviii, 700, bound without half-title; one large folding plate with inset diagram and one engraved plate. both relating to other articles; minor spotting at front and rear, else very good in contemporary full calf, gilt, by Neil, Binder, Glasgow, contrasting labels to spine, a.e.g., slightly rubbed. This volume of reports from the fourth meeting of the BAAS contains two papers by Hamilton, the first of which is important for his summary of the analogy between mechanics and optics. Hamilton had been working on a function, known today as Hamilton s principal function, that translated treatments in optics to the equations of motion. The article sketches his findings, which were discussed in greater details in two contributions to the Philosophical Transactions. This volume of papers also contains a report on recent progress and the present state of zoology by Leonard Jenyns, and brief notes by Robert Brown (for whom Brownian motion is named), R. I. Murchison, Charles Lyell, and others.

London, Richard Taylor, 1834-35. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions", 1835 - Part I. Titlepages to the volume present. (2),95-144. Both papers clean and fine. First appearance of this groundbreaking paper in which Hamilton develops the whole of theoretical dynamics by the aid of one function only, his 'Characteristic' or 'Principal' Function. He applies his method to a case of planetary motion, using a system of canonical elements" (Introduction, The Mathematical Paper of Sir William Rowan Hamilton, xiii). Hamilton then argues that the "tool of the characteristic function could also be applied to reformulate the fundamental laws of dynamics" thus the actual motion of mass point in a field of forces, e.g., is found to be governed by equations that are the analogues of those determining the propagation of the rays of light. Hamilton's optical-mechanical analogy, not only provided a new and more powerful formulation of classical mechanics but also, came to form the foundation of the Schrödinger scheme of quantum mechanics, e.g., wave mechanics. " (Mehra The Historical Development of Quantum Theory).

London, Richard Taylor, 1834-35. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1834 - Part II. and 1835 - Part I. Both titlepages to the volumes present.Pp. (2),247-308 a. (2),95-144. Both papers clean and fine. First appearance of these two groundbreaking papers in which Hamilton carries further the dynamics of Lagrange by expressing the kinetic energy in terms of the momenta and the co-ordinates of a system, and discovers how to transform the Lagrangian equations into a set of differential equations of the first order for the determination of of the motion. The Hamilton principle is also called The Principle of "Least Action". The Hamilton Principle as stated in the papers offered here "was the first of his two great "discoveries". he second was the quaternions, which he discovered.1843 nd towhich he devoted most of his efforts during the remaining 22 years of his life."(DSB).Maupertouis, Euler, and Lagrange introduced the principle of "Least Action" covering the science of dynamics, and now Hamilton brought the principle into a form which was capable of expressing all the laws of Newtonian science in a representation as minimum-problems, that is, all gravitational, dynamical and electrical laws could be represented as minimum problems. In 1925 Heisenberg, Born and Jordan showed, that the Hamilton equations are still valid in quantum theoryAlthough formulated originally for classical mechanics, Hamilton's principle also applies to classical fields such as the electromagnetic and gravitational fields, and has even been extended to quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, relativity and criticality theories. Its influence is so profound and far reaching that many scientists regard it as the most powerful single principle in mathematocal physics and place it at the pinnacle of physical science.
