A central figure in Victorian science, William Whewell (1794-1866) held professorships in Mineralogy and Moral Philosophy at Trinity College, Cambridge, before becoming Master of the college in 1841. His mathematical textbooks, such as A Treatise on Dynamics (1823), were instrumental in bringing French analytical methods into British science. This three-volume history, first published in 1837, is one of Whewell''s most famous works. Taking the ''acute, but fruitless, essays of Greek philosophy'' as a starting point, it provides a history of the physical sciences that culminates with the mechanics, astronomy, and chemistry of ''modern times''. Volume 3 first covers the mechanico-chemical sciences, emphasizing the convergence of mechanical and chemical theories in discoveries pertaining to electricity, magnetism and thermodynamics. A section on chemistry surveys Becher and Stahl''s phlogiston theory, Lavoisier''s theory of oxygen, and Faraday''s laws of electromagnetic induction. The volume also covers mineralogy, botany, zoology, and anatomy. | History of the Inductive Sciences by William Whewell Paperback | Indigo Chapters Books > Philosophy > History P10105, William Whewell<
