Soft cover. Condizione: Good. pp107-118, four plates. Removed from ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1899. VG. In plastic report covers. From the report: "On the other hand, eminent mathematicians, since the days of Newton and the discovery of the method of the calculus, have been pursuing the investigation of the behavior of a perfect liquid. The mathematical methods which I have already alluded to as being so wonderful, have, however, scarcely been brought to bear with any apparent result upon the behavior of a viscous fluid." I found this to be a very difficult article, inasmuch as I know almost nothing about the subject of hydromechanics.
