A distinguished mathematician and notable university teacher, Isaac
Todhunter (1820 84) became known for the successful textbooks he
produced as well as for a work ethic that was extraordinary, even
by Victorian standards. A scholar who read all the major European
languages, Todhunter was an open-minded man who admired George
Boole and helped introduce the moral science examination at
Cambridge. His many gifts enabled him to produce the histories of
mathematical subjects which form his lasting memorial. First
published between 1886 and 1893, the present work was the last of
these. Edited and completed after Todhunter's death by Karl Pearson
(1857 1936), another extraordinary man who pioneered modern
statistics, these volumes trace the mathematical understanding of
elasticity from the seventeenth to the late nineteenth century.
Volume 2 (1893) was split into two parts. Part 2 covers the work of
Neumann, Kirchhoff, Clebsch, Boussinesq, and Lord Kelvin."
