A Treatise On The Theory Of Screws (1900)

A Treatise On The Theory Of Screws is a book written by Robert Stawell Ball and published in 1900. The book is a comprehensive study of the theory of screws, which are simple machines used to convert rotational motion into linear motion or vice versa. Ball's book covers the history and development of screw theory, as well as its practical applications in various fields such as mechanics, geometry, and kinematics. The book is divided into three main sections: the first section introduces the concept of screws and their properties, the second section explores the geometry of screws and their relationships with other geometric objects, and the third section discusses the application of screw theory in various fields. The book is written in a clear and concise manner, making it accessible to both experts and non-experts in the field of mechanics. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the theory of screws and their applications.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
