Excerpt: Wilhelm (later William) Steinitz (Prague, May 17, 1836 August 12, 1900) was an Austrian and then American chess player and the first undisputed world chess champion from 1886 to 1894. From the 1870s onwards, commentators have debated whether Steinitz was effectively the champion earlier. Steinitz lost his title to Emanuel Lasker in 1894 and also lost a rematch in 1897. Statistical rating systems give Steinitz a rather low ranking among world champions, mainly because he took several long breaks from competitive play. However, an analysis based on one of the...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=167866 ... Read more

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Richard Edler von Mises ( 19 April 1883 Lemberg - 14 July 1953 Boston, Massachusetts) was a scientist and mathematician who worked on solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, aeronautics, statistics and probability theory. He described his work in his own words shortly before his death as being on practical analysis, integral and differential equations, mechanics, hydrodynamics and aerodynamics, constructive geometry, probability calculus, statistics and philosophy." Although best known as one of the most significant mathematicians of the century, he also contributed to the philosophy of science as a neo-positivist, following the line of Ernst Mach. ...

Excerpt: The Wright brothers, Orville (August 19, 1871 January 30, 1948) and Wilbur (April 16, 1867 May 30, 1912), were two Americans who are generally credited with inventing and building the world's first successful airplane and making the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight, on December 17, 1903. In the two years afterward, the brothers developed their flying machine into the first practical fixed-wing aircraft. Although not the first to build and fly experimental aircraft, the Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible. The brothers' fundamental breakthrough was their invention of three-axis control, which enabled the pilot to steer the aircraft effectively and to maintain its equilibrium. This method became standard and remains standard on fixed-wing aircraft of all kinds. From the be...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=58410 ... Read more

Januar 1978 in Princeton, New Jersey) war Mathematiker und einer der bedeutendsten Logiker des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er leistete maßgebliche Beiträge: Auch seine philosophischen Erörterungen zu den Grundlagen der Mathematik fanden weite Beachtung. Gödel stammte aus einer wohlhabenden großbürgerlichen Familie in Brünn in Mähren. Die Stadt Brünn hatte zur Geburtszeit Gödels eine deutschsprachige Bevölkerungsmehrheit und lag bis 1918 in der österreichisch-ungarischen Monarchie (heute: Tschechien). Seine Eltern waren Marianne (geb. Handschuh) und Rudolf August Gödel. Sein Vater war ein zu Wohlstand gelangter Textilunternehmer. Der Vater war katholisch, die Mutter evangelisch, die Kinder der Familie wurden evangelisch erzogen. Gödel, der, verursacht durch rheumatisches Fieber, in seiner Kindheit oft unter einem schlechten Gesundheitszustand litt, zeigte trotzdem schulische Bestleistungen. 1912 trat Gödel in die Privat-Volks- und Bürgerschule ein, vier Jahre später in das deutschsprachige Kaiserliche und Königliche Staatsrealgymnasium. Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg wurde die Stadt Brünn 1918/1919 Teil der ...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=2600 ... Read more

Les historiens du Cercle de Vienne de l' « empirisme logique » qui s'est développé dans les années 1920 s'accordent à reconnaître une « première phase » s'étendant de 1907 à 1914 avec Philipp Frank, Hans Hahn, Otto Neurath et Richard von Mises. À Istanbul, Mises resta en contact étroit avec Philipp Frank qui resta professeur de physique à Prague jusqu'en 1938. Les goûts littéraires de Mises le portaient vers le romancier autrichien Robert Musil et le poète Rainer Maria Rilke, dont il était un spécialiste reconnu.

Excerpt: Kurt Gödel (German pronunciation: ; April 28, 1906, Brno, Moravia, AustriaHungary January 14, 1978, Princeton, New Jersey, USA) was an Austrian logician, mathematician and philosopher. Later in his life he emigrated to the United States to escape WWII. One of the most significant logicians of all time, Gödel made an immense impact upon scientific and philosophical thinking in the 20th century, a time when many, such as Bertrand Russell, A. N. Whitehead and David Hilbert, were pioneering the use of logic and set theory to understand the foundations of mathematics. Gödel is best known for his two incompleteness theorems, published in 1931 when he was 25 years of age, one year after finishing his doctorate at the University of Vienna. The more famous incompleteness theorem states that for any self-consistent recursive axiomatic system powerful enough to describe the arithmetic of the natural numbers (Peano arithmetic), there are true propositions about the naturals that cannot be proved from the axioms. To prove this theorem, Gödel developed a technique now known as Gödel numbering, which codes formal expressions as natural numbers. He also showed that the continuum hypothesis cannot be disproved from the accepted axioms of set theory, if those axioms are consistent. He made important contributions to proof theory by clarifying the connections between classical logic, intuitionistic logic...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=16736 ... Read more

Theory of Flight
I received 2 books and I paid for two as well. I only ordered one book.
Need to mail back one book to your shop.

Jacques J. huot

Great comprehensive intro to aeronautical engineering
This book is unlike any on its subject I have ever encountered. Even though the author of this book passed away in 1953, it has a clearness and depth directed towards understanding the essentials of flight that make it a worthwhile - and very inexpensive - read today. Of course, to supplement this book, given the progress made in the field since the author's death, you'll require several textbooks.

Part one is entitled "Equilibrium and Steady Flow in the Atmosphere". Chapter one of that section, though correct in its physics, is simply not applicable to high-speed or turbine-powered aircraft. The other chapters in part one, though, are a great introduction to the dynamics of incompressible fluids that are still completely relevant.

Part two is entitled "The Airplane Wing", and contains material that the author not only expertly compiled, he actually contributed much of this material to wing theory himself. Again, you'll need supplementary material to be current on this information.

Part three is entitled "Propeller and Engine". Where propellers are still in use, the information in this book is correct. The basics on the airplane engine are here, but again time has marched on as to the forefront of technology.

Part four on "Airplane Performance" talks about performance problems in propeller planes. You'll need other material to understand how the jet engine affects performance.

Part five on "Airplane Control and Stability" contains great sections on the theory of non-uniform flight and also a very clear introduction to the theory of dynamic stability. Information on automatic controls is missing, though.

I'd say read this book and use it as a reference as a basis for understanding the mathematics and theory of flight. Use it as a firm foundation for learning about the more modern aspects of the field. One thing I really appreciated about this book is how it is essentially self-contained. The author develops the mathematics as needed, and it is generally well-illustrated, which is generally not a feature of older engineering textbooks. There are problems at the end of each chapter. Unfortunately, though, answers are not included. It is definitely geared for the upper-level undergraduate engineering student that has already finished physics, calculus, statics, and dynamics. Highly recommended.

Theory of Flight: The Fundamentals of Aeronautical Design
To say the text is a classic work on the subject is an understatement.It offers a lucid introduction to the many concepts of aeronautical design that traditionally challenge students.It is a required text for those wishing to advance their understanding of theoretical aerodynamics and its profound implications toward applied aircraft design.Though prerequisite knowledge of aeronautics will augment the text, none is assumed by the author and the mathematical derivations presented within are complete.Most of the empirical data and equations are still quite valid although the text was printed decades ago, before aerodynamics attained its current level of analysis.Anyone involved in the development of subsonic conventional aircraft will want to add this to their research library as a valuable reference. ...
