In 1867, Sir William Thomson (later Lord Kelvin) and Peter Guthrie
Tate revolutionised physics with the publication of their Treatise
on Natural Philosophy, in which they demonstrated the centrality of
energy conservation to systems of dynamic movement. Popularly known
as 'T&T' for its authors' initials, the Treatise became the
standard textbook on natural philosophy, introducing generations of
mathematicians to the 'new energy-based dynamics'. In Elements of
Natural Philosophy (1873), they distil the portions of the Treatise
not requiring higher calculus into a primer suitable for use in
university courses. The first half covers the basic principles of
kinematics and dynamics, including the motion of points, lines, and
volumes, while the second half concerns questions of 'abstract
dynamics', including particle attraction. The result of one of the
most important collaborations in modern physics, this book remains
a thorough introduction to the major principles of Thomson and
Tait's larger work.
