Hydrodinamics
This may be regarded as the sixth edition of a Treatise on the Mathematical Theory of The Motion of Fluids, published in 1879. Subsequent editions, largely remodelled and extended, have appeared under the present title. In this issue no change has been made in the general plan and arrangment, but the work has again been revised throughout, some important omissions have been made good, and much new matter has been introduced. The subject has in recent years received considerable developments, in the theory of the tides for instance, and in various directions bearing on the problems of aeronautics, and it is interesting to note that the "classical" Hydrodynamics, often referred to with a shade of depreciation, is here found to have a widening field of practical applications. Owing to the elaborate nature of some of these researches it has not always been possible to fit an adequte account of them into the frame of this book, but attempts have occasionally been made to give some indication of the more important results and of the methods employed
