Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This slim yet dense volume remains an excellent introduction to
Newtonian physics, just as when it was first published in 1877.
Beginning with the basics of physical science and working his way
steadily up to universal gravitation, Maxwell surveys
late-19th-century physics in his clear and concise style. Matter
and Motion addresses: . motion . force . the properties of the
center of mass of a material system . work and energy .
recapitulation . the pendulum and gravity . the equations of motion
of a connected system Readers from the science historian to the
high school physics student will come away from Matter and Motion
with a deeper understanding of the roots of modern physics.
Scottish physicist and mathematician JAMES CLERK MAXWELL
(1831-1879) is considered by many to be one of the giants of
theoretical physics. Albert Einstein once described Maxwell's work
as "the most profound and the most fruitful that physics has
experienced since the time of Newton." A devoutly religious man and
a published poet as well as a renowned scientist, Maxwell's books
include Theory of Heat (1870), Treatise on Electricity and
Magnetism (1873), and Elementary Treatise on Electricity (1881).

The final volume of James Clerk Maxwell's correspondence and manuscript papers covers the years 1874-1879, during Maxwell's Cambridge Professorship, his directing of the Cavendish Laboratory, and his work as writer and editor. His letters show his response to innovations in physical theory--by Boltzmann, Gibbs, Lorentz, and van der Waals--and further explorations in statistical physics and the kinetic theory of gases. His letters reflect his influence on the younger generation of physicists whose outlook was shaped by "Maxwellian physics". This edition is annotated with a full historical commentary.
