Description

Scientific Amusements in Philosophy and Mathematics is a book written by William Enfield. It is a collection of interesting and entertaining experiments and demonstrations in the fields of philosophy and mathematics. The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different area of study - mechanics, hydrostatics, and pneumatics.In the first part, Enfield explores the principles of mechanics and provides a number of experiments that demonstrate these principles. He covers topics such as the laws of motion, the properties of matter, and the dynamics of machines. The second part of the book focuses on hydrostatics, which is the study of fluids at rest. Enfield explains the principles of hydrostatics and provides experiments that demonstrate these principles, including the behavior of fluids in containers and the principles of buoyancy.The final part of the book covers pneumatics, which is the study of gases and their behavior. Enfield explains the principles of pneumatics and provides experiments that demonstrate these principles, including the behavior of gases in containers and the principles of air pressure.Overall, Scientific Amusements in Philosophy and Mathematics is a fascinating book that provides readers with a unique and engaging way to learn about the principles of mechanics, hydrostatics, and pneumatics. It is a great resource for students, teachers, and anyone interested in science and mathematics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
