Die Werke von Daniel Bernoulli

The works from Daniel Bernoulli's youth contained in this first volume of his Collected Works bear witness above all of his versatility; they deal with subjects as different as physiology, formal logic, mathematical analysis, hydrodynamics and positional astronomy. Daniel Bernoulli's contacts with Italian scientists gave rise to several controversies. The present volume documents both sides in each of these debates, which culminated with the publication of Bernoulli's first book Exercitationes mathe- maticae in 1724. The discussions with the renowned mathematician Jacopo Riccati on second-order differential equations and on the Newtonian theory of the out-flow of fluids from vessels deserve particular interest. A third group of texts goes back to the time Bernoulli spent at the newly- founded Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, where he had been appointed in 1725. There he worked out two more contributions to physiological research - on muscle movement and on the blind spot in the human eye - as well as his only paper in positional astronomy. This last work - suggested by a prize question of the Paris Académie des Sciences - became the occasion for a vehement conflict; the present volume documents these "Zänkereien" (squabbles) and also reproduces three competing treatises. To complete the documentation of Daniel Bernoulli's work on physiology, the volume also includes his academic ceremonial speech De Vita of 1737, where he sketches for the first time the circulation of the work done by the human heart, and its elaboration by Bernoulli's student Daniel Passavant.

1.2 How to Use This Book Chapter 2 contains a brief history of the metric system, including the organization and a complete description of SI Units (Systeme International d'Unites). Chapter 3 gives a detailed description of a considerable number of other systems of measurement. This includes several alternative modern systems of measurement, some of which are still in widespread use (e.g. imperial, US, cgs, MTS, FPS). Finally, there is a description of systems used in antiquity (e.g. ancient Chinese, Indian, Egyptian, Persian, Hebrew, Greek, Roman, Arabic), as well as older national or regional systems (e.g. French, Italian, German, Japanese). Chapter 4, which forms the most important part of the book, consists of an exhaustive set of conversion tables. This chapter covers the units in alphabe tical order. Each unit is fully described as follows: name, symbol(s), physical quantity, dimension, conversion factor, notes and definitions. The section covers some 2000 units, each with a precise conversion factor. Chapter 5 enables a unit to be identified from its area of application. For this purpose, units are classed in groups. It contains thirty five conversion tables ranging from mass to nuclear quantities. In order to facilitate use of this manual, several supplementary sections have been added to aid the researcher. These include tables of fundamental math ematical and physical constants to allow very precise calculation of conver sions. These form the sixth chapter of the book.
