Found in 17 Collections and/or Records:
Dynamics, c1780-c1803
Volume contains manuscript notes on dynamics. Russian terms intersperse, along with occasional diagrams.
Dynamics, c1780-c1803
Volume contains manuscript notes on dynamics.
Explanation of Symbols, c1780-c1803
Volume contains manuscript notes on the symbology of mathematics and engineering, followed by miscellanea on dymanics ('wheel carriages' being a special topic). There are some minor diagrams, and some of the terms are glossed with Russian.
Gravity, Measure of Forces, c1780-c1802
Notes in English, with occasional Russian headings, in basic physics like 'impulsion' and the measurement of forces. There are one or two mechanical sketches.
Impulsion, Corpuscular Forces, c1780-c1802
Volume contains lectures in statics and fluid dynamics. Included is a note on what happens upon mixing particular chemicals. A few of the headings are in Russian.
Lecture Notes of John Robison
Lecture notes from the time when Robison was Professor of Natural Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh. The notes embrace the sciences of mechanics, hydrodynamics, astronomy and optics, together with electricity and magnetism.
It is assumed that these are Robison's own notes but this has not been verified.
