Optics
Found in 43 Collections and/or Records:
Fragment on optics, s.d.
Part of a paragraph concerning optics, mentioning Dr Barrow in passing.
Inventio foci in Lente, s.d.
Two pages on finding the focal length of a lens, not in Gregory's hand.
Jo: Keil Scheda de figura Radij in Medio difformi, 1684-1700
Lectiones Opticae, 1683
Gregory's notes for his public lectures in optics, Edinburgh, 1683.
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.
Lectures by David Gregory
Libri hactenus desiderati, probably not before 1684
A short list of partial titles Gregory wished at this moment to acquire. They are about mechanics, mostly, and optics. Thus they may well go with item Coll-33/Quarto A [46], on the reverse, at least generally, apparently part of his Edinburgh lecture notes about the same. In the lower right is a label referring to the reverse side: the document was once folded and stored that way.
