Sir Horace Lamb (1849 1934) the British mathematician, wrote a
number of influential works in classical physics. A pupil of Stokes
and Clerk Maxwell, he taught for ten years as the first professor
of mathematics at the University of Adelaide before returning to
Britain to take up the post of professor of physics at the Victoria
University of Manchester (where he had first studied mathematics at
Owens College). As a teacher and writer his stated aim was clarity:
'somehow to make these dry bones live'. His Dynamics was first
published in 1914 and the second edition, offered here, in 1923: it
remained in print until the 1960s. It was intended as a sequel to
his Statics (also reissued in this series), and like its
predecessor is a textbook with examples.
