First published in 1952, this book considers the foundation of the
science of ballistics in the seventeenth century as a mathematical
interpretation based on exact experimental investigation. The
emergence of the theory of projectiles in the seventeenth century
represented a significant contribution to the application of
science in warfare and is a critical example of early science being
directed by utilitarian considerations. Dr Hall here examines the
science of ballistics with reference to its underlying mathematical
principles, placing it in the context of the social and economic
background of the seventeenth century, particularly in England.
