Book

A Course of Modern Analysis

TL;DR: The volume now gives a somewhat exhaustive account of the various ramifications of the subject, which are set out in an attractive manner and should become indispensable, not only as a textbook for advanced students, but as a work of reference to those whose aim is to extend the knowledge of analysis.
Book

A treatise on the analytical dynamics of particles and rigid bodies

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive account of analytical dynamics is given, starting from first principles with kinematics before moving to equations of motion and specific and explicit methods for solving them, with chapters devoted to particle dyanmics, rigid bodies, vibration and dissipative systems.
Book

A course of modern analysis; an introduction to the general theory of infinite processes and of analytic functions; with an account of the principal transcendental functions

TL;DR: The theory of Riemann integration as mentioned in this paper is a generalization of the theory of complex numbers, and it can be expressed as follows: 1. Complex numbers 2. The theory of convergence 3. Continuous functions and uniform convergence 4. The fundamental properties of analytic functions 5. The expansion of functions in infinite series 6.

A history of the theories of aether and electricity

TL;DR: A survey of the history of electrodynamics provides insight into the revolutionary advances made in physics during 19th and the first quarter of the 20th centuries as discussed by the authors, with the emphasis on special relativity, quantum theories, general relativity, matrix mechanics, and wave mechanics.
