Product Description

This book presents a detailed and rigorous account of the work of Tobias Mayer, a mathematician and astronomer of the middle 18th century. Mayer's most famous contribution is his set of lunar tables, which were the best available in their time. The use of lunar tables was the most sophisticated method to calculate latitude. Because of their accuracy, Mayer's lunar tables became very popular and were used extensively in nautical navigation.

The book focuses on three of Mayer's major achievements:

-First, is Mayer's dynamical lunar theory based on Newton's principle of gravitation. His theory is compared to Euler's work in celestial mechanics of the same period. Evidence is presented that refutes the commonly held opinion that Mayer's lunar theory was just a variant of Euler's, although certain similarities between the theories do exist.

-Second, the special computational scheme that is embodied in Mayer's lunar tables is investigated. This scheme is shown to originate in Newton's lunar theory of 1702.

-Lastly, the book provides a detailed analysis of Mayer's process of adjusting the coefficients of his lunar tables to fit an extensive collection of observational data. This regression technique can be considered a precursor to the later formalized least squares method.

This book is the most complete and accurate account of Tobias Mayer's contributions to lunar theory.

Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases, their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology, agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even cookbooks, are all contained here.

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Tobias Mayer (17 February 1723 - 20 February 1762) was a German astronomer famous for his studies of the Moon. He was born at Marbach, in Württemberg, and brought up at Esslingen in poor circumstances. A self-taught mathematician, he had already published two original geometrical works when, in 1746, he entered J.B. Homann's cartographic establishment at Nuremberg. Here he introduced many improvements in mapmaking, and gained a scientific reputation which led (in 1751) to his election to the chair of economy and mathematics at the University of Göttingen. In 1754 he became superintendent of the observatory, where he worked until his death in 1762. ... Read more

Product Description
'Work for your terrestrial life in proportion to your location in it, and work for your afterlife in proportion to your eternity in it.' This is part of the advice that the great theologian and mystic Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (1058-1111 AD) put down in his Letter to a Disciple. An old disciple of al-Ghazali had studied the Islamic sciences, including the many works of his master, for most of his life. Faced with the proximity of death, he turns again to his master this time asking for a summary of all his teachings. Letter to a Disciple is al-Ghazali's response. The emphasis in this short treatise is on religious and spiritual action and on putting into practice the knowledge that one has acquired. Letter to a Disciple can be considered as the last testament of he who is regarded as Hujjat al-Islam, the 'Proof of Islam'. This new translation is presented here as a bilingual, English-Arabic, edition. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A lot in a little book.
Imam Al Ghazali (ra) is a classical Sufic thinker and author, and this text is a classical Sufic text.The first 30 pages or so are a fine introduction, giving a comprehensive context of Ghazali's time and life, the thinking of the time and important social, political, as well as religious events and circumstances--a very scholarly work with accompanying citations.The actual text is enhanced by the original Arabic, which is helpful for anyone who struggles with translations and seeks deeper meanings.The book ends with an appendix of persons cited in the text, giving brief biographical notes for each. And there is a nice bibliography.

5-0 out of 5 stars wonderful book but not the best translation
This is a wonderful book like all of other books from Imam Al ghazzali.There are however two problems.one is the price which I think is high given that this a very small book.the other is the English translation which is not the best compared to the ones I've seen. But if you are a little familiar with Arabic,then you shouldnt have too much trouble grasping the meaning of his advice to his disciple.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent!
This book is translated beautifully alongside the original Arabic text. It is a great feature for students studying the Arabic language/religion. Concise and insightful. A must have for any religion/Arabic major. A real eye opener into the world of Ghazali thought. ... Read more
