(Paris, Bachelier), 1837. 4to. No wrappers. In: ""Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances de L'Academie des Sciences"", Tome 5, No. 20. Pp. (659-) 710. (Entire issue offerd). Poisson's paper: pp. 660-667.
First appearance of Poisson's importent work - the first of its kind - on the dynamics of a motion taking into account also of the motion of the reference system. The work in its full ""Sur les mouvement des projectiles dans l'air, en ayent éghard à leur figure, & la rotation et à l'influence du mouvemnet diurne de la terre"" was published two years later in 1839.""Recherches sur le mouvement des projectiles dans l’air (1839), was far better known in its day. It is the first work to deal with the subject by taking into account the rotation of the earth and the complementary acceleration resulting from the motion of the system of reference. A decade after its publication it inspired Foucault’s famous experiment demonstrating the earth’s rotation. Poisson, who had supervised Coriolis’ doctoral research, recognized the importance of his invention of a term to correct for the deviations from the law of motion that arise in a rotating reference system. Unfortunately, Poisson did not consider himself obliged to cite the name of the actual inventor of the term."" (DSB).
Paris, Bachelier, 1839. 4to. Contemporary hcalf, gilt spine with gilt lettering. A paperlabel pasted on spine. Stamps on titlepage. VIII,226,(1) pp. Broadmargined on good paper. Light scattered brownspots.
First edition. Poisson made importent contribution to many categories in mathematics and mathematical physics, ""Poisson'sTheorem"", the mathematical treatment of attractive forces etc.. ""The Recherches sur le Mouvement...projectiles (the item offered) is the first workto deal with the subject by taking into account the rotation of the earth and the complementary acceleration resulting from the motion of the system of reference. A decade after its publication it inspired Focault's famous experiment demonstrating the earth's rotation""(Pierre Costabel in DSB). - In this researchhe extended Lapalce's analysis to allow also for the rotation of the projectile in motion, and it helped Léon Foucault to conceive of his pendulum to demonstrate the rotation of the earth. - The work is a collection of memoirs. ""Ce recherches se composent de plusieurs Mémoires lus par l'Auteur à l'Academie des Sciences et insérés dans les XXVIe et XXVIIe cahiers du Journal de l'Ecole Polytechnique.""
