A TREATISE ON HYDROMECHANICS BY W. H. BESANT, M.A. MATHEMATICAL LECTURER AND LATE FELLOW OF ST JOHN'S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE, SECOND EDITION. CAMBRIDGE: DEIGHTON, BELL, AND CO. LONDON: BELL AND DALDY. 1867. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. FOR the present edition the text has been carefully examined, and various changes and amplifications have been made. Additional illustrative examples have been introduced, and fully worked out, and those proposed for exercise have been rearranged throughout, examples which have been found useless being excluded, and new examples appended to most of the Chapters. In correcting the proof sheets I have received much valuable assistance from Mr E. Hill, Fellow of St John's College, who has kindly examined the whole of them, and has tested many of the examples. I venture to hope that the alterations which have been made, and the care which has been taken to ensure accuracy of results, will render this treatise of increased utility to the mathematical student. Nov. 1867. W. H. BESANT. |
