Berieben. Rotschnitt. Vorsätze fleckig First edition, it was followed by a second and third ed. (1842). Johann A. Eytelwein was chief commissioner in charge of all hydraulic works of the Prussian kingdom. ?Eytelwein, like his French contemporary M.R. de Prony, was one of the first to write on the application of mechanics and mathematics to the design of structures and machines in order to bring rational methods to both the practicing engineer and the student. Eytelwein's efforts on behalf of an engineering institution were realized with the founding of the Berlin Bauakademie in 1799; this was the first German engineering school of university stature and one of the two nuclei of the later Technische Hochschule. He was the first director of the Bauakademie and held that post for seven years; he also lectured on mechanics, hydraulics, hydrostatics, machine design, dike embankments, and stream regulation. Thoughout his life Eytelwein was a strong influence in the elevation of the standards of engineering education, bringing to it the analytical methods of his time. His writings were distinguished for their clarity and sweep, practice being viewed and upgraded by developing analysis.? (DSB).Please notify before visiting to see a book. Prices are excl.
