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 Statics was first
published in 1912, and the third edition, offered here, in 1928. It
was intended as a textbook for students with some knowledge of
mechanics, and deals mainly with two-dimensional problems: examples
are provided at the end of each section.

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.

work was published in 1897, the third revised edition in 1919, and
a further corrected version just before his death. This edition,
reissued here, remained in print until the 1950s. As with Lamb's
other textbooks, each section is followed by examples.
Sir Horace Lamb (1849 1934) published numerous papers and books in
his lifetime, making important contributions to applied
mathematics. This second edition of Higher Mechanics was first
published in 1929, providing revisions and additions to the 1920
publication. Though originally intended to be an elementary
introduction to three-dimensional kinematics, statics and dynamics,
this book is a classic example of Lamb's work and will also be of
interest to those wishing to explore the history of mathematical
theory.
This reissue of the classic 1932 edition of Lamb's Hydrodynamics is an indication of the lasting value of the work. Constantly in use since its first publication in 1892, this book is the definitive reference work for all fluid dynamicists. The new foreword by Professor R. Caflisch highlights the prominence of this treatise in the field and outlines the development of fluid mechanics that led to its publication. He also resolves possible conflicts with modern notation. Despite the rapid pace of research in modern fluid mechanics study and the advent of high-speed computers, Lamb's work remains a relevant, timeless classic.
