The Language of Physics: The Calculus and the Development of Theoretical Physics in Europe, 1750 - 1870 ReviewFor the first time Garber makes sense out of the threads which came together at the end of the nineteenth century to create modern theoretical physics.
Beginning in the late eighteenth century, scientists working on the development of differential and integral calculus showed how a group of bodies possessed invariant qualities such as kinetic energy, action, and potential energy.
Until Gerber's work, these scientists -- Bernoulli, Mayer, Lagrange, Laplace, Poisson, and Jacobi, among others -- were celebrated as doing great work in physics.
Their work did have consequences for physics, and implied quite a bit from the point of view of mathematical treatment of physical phenomena, but their intention had been to develop the boundaries of mathematics, specifically the differential equations of calculus.
Using detailed examples from not only mechanics but electromagnetism and thermodynamics as well, Garber revises the old-fashioned view of the development of theoretical physics, and proves how the work of a large number of her colleagues in the history of 18th- and 19th-century mathematics and physics supports her interpretation.
A major step forward in the history of science.The Language of Physics: The Calculus and the Development of Theoretical Physics in Europe, 1750 - 1870 Overview
