Roberts Trent, p.103 ; DSB, IV, 479-480. Édition originale. “Euler’s famous work in mechanics in which he introduced the use of analytical methods instead of the geometrical methods of Newton and his followers. In contrast to earlier approaches, Euler’s uniform analytic method provided clearer and more direct solutions to problems in mechanics. This work serves as an introduction to his later works on celestial mechanics” (Roberts Trent). “This first large work on mechanics was devoted to the kinematics and dynamics of a point-mass. The first volume deals with the free motion of a point-mass in a vacuum and in a residing medium… In the second volume Euler studied the constrained motion of a point-mass” (DSB). Rares rousseurs, reliures avec petites traces d’usures.
