Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Fundamental Equations of Dynamics and Its Main Coordinate Systems Vectorially Treated: Illustrated From Rigid Dynamics
At the other extreme are found the practical temperaments, looking for tools with which to undertake their special tasks, and largely unmindful of the processes by which those have been shaped and of the far-reaching equipment in which their func tion is but one part, if only a particular routine can be adequately served or intelligently mastered. And this more empirical frame of mind that springs from absorption in monopolizing pursuits can be fostered and strengthened by the sheer difficulties in external form that are impressed upon abstract dynamics by the tendencies that have just been referred to, and by the air of remoteness from things material and mundane which that treatment, if uncorrected, confers. Unless it can be halted, therefore, a movement toward disintegration which must be coped with will confront the cultivators of dynamics that derives a backing also from other circumstances of the present situation.
