Mechanics
Found in 17 Collections and/or Records:
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.
Lectiones Mechanicae, sive Geometria de Motu, 1684
Gregory's notes for his public lectures in mechanics, Edinburgh, 1684.
Lectures in Natural Philosophy, volume 1, 1785
Notes of lectures in Natural Philosophy by Professor Robison taken down by T.C. Hope in 1785.
Lectures in Natural Philosophy, volume 2, 1785
Notes of lectures in Natural Philosophy by Professor Robison taken down by T.C. Hope in 1785.
Lectures in Natural Philosophy, volume 3, 1785
Notes of lectures in Natural Philosophy by Professor Robison taken down by T.C. Hope in 1785.
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.
Matter, Physics, c1780-c1802
Volume contains lectures on the nature of matter, and on its behaviour in the physical universe.
Mechanics, c1802
Subtitled 'Theory of Machines', pulleys and kites among them, this volume contains lectures on dynamics and statics, with attendant calculations and diagrams.
Mechanics, Astronomy,, c1780-c1803
Volume contains manuscript notes on general mechanics, and on pulleys and wedges in particular, and wheels and axles. There are subsidiary discussions of things like collision and the mechanics of muscular action. The astronomy notes promised on the book's spine describe how to manage the study of the heavens with big machines. Numerous small diagrams intersperse throughout the book. Some terms appear in Russian.
