Descrizione del libro

This book captures some of Pólya's excitement and vision. Its distinctive feature is the stress on the history of certain elementary chapters of science; these can be a source of enjoyment and deeper understanding of mathematics even for beginners who have little, or perhaps no, knowledge of physics.

Contenuti

1. From the history of astronomy: measurement and successive approximation; 2. From the history of statics; 3. From the history of dynamics; 4. Physical reasoning in mathematics; 5. Differential equations and their use in science.
