Author Description

Scientific Papers V2 (1900) is a collection of scientific papers written by Peter Guthrie Tait, a prominent Scottish physicist and mathematician. The book is a compilation of Tait's work on various topics in physics, including thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and mechanics. The papers are highly technical and aimed at a scientific audience, but they offer valuable insights into the development of physics in the late 19th century. The book includes detailed discussions on the laws of thermodynamics, the nature of heat, and the properties of gases. It also features Tait's groundbreaking research on the kinetic theory of gases and his contributions to the study of electromagnetism. Overall, Scientific Papers V2 (1900) is a comprehensive and authoritative account of Tait's scientific contributions and remains an important reference for physicists and mathematicians today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
