Mechanics
Found in 5 Collections and/or Records:
Lectiones Mechanicae, sive Geometria de Motu, 1684
Gregory's notes for his public lectures in mechanics, Edinburgh, 1684.
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.
Problema Staticum, c1684
Short notes and a pair of drawings in balance and in force along a string.
Quaedam Mechanica et statica ex Des Chales, 1680
A very early set of notes on Deschales' Cursus Mathematicus. Gregory used this work later for his own lectures on mechanics.
Torricellii Prop: 8 de Motu Projectorum, 1684-1688
A study probably relating to part 4 of Gregory's mechanics lectures in Edinburgh. It discusses the theories of Evangelista Torricelli, famous for his " De motu gravium naturaliter descendentium et projectorum, (1644).
