This research volume is the first of a set of three Springer books on Lazare Nicolas Marguérite Carnot?s (1753?1823) remarkable work: Essay on Machines in General (Essai sur les machines en général [1783] 1786). The other two forthcoming volumes are: Principes fondamentaux de l?équilibre et du mouvement (1803) and Géométrie de position (1803). Lazare Carnot ? l'organisateur de la victoire ? in Essai sur le machine en général (1786) assumed that the generalization of machines was a necessity for society and its economic development. Subsequently, his new coming science applied to machines attracted considerable interest for technician, as well, already in the 1780?s. With no lack in rigour, Carnot used geometric and trigonometric rather than algebraic arguments, and usually went on to explain in words what the formulae contained. His main physical? mathematical concepts were the Geometric motion and Moment of activity?concept of Work . In particular, he found the invariants of the transmission of motion (by stating the principle of the moment of the quantity of motion) and theorized the condition of the maximum efficiency of mechanical machines (i.e., principle of continuity in the transmission of power). While the core theme remains the theories and historical studies of the text, the book contains an extensive Introduction and an accurate critical English Translation ? including the parallel text edition and substantive critical/explicative notes ? of Essai sur les machines en général (1786). The authors offer much-needed insight into the relation between mechanics, mathematics and engineering from a conceptual, empirical and methodological, and universalis point of view. As a cutting?edge writing by leading authorities on the history of physics and mathematics, and epistemological aspects, it appeals to historians, epistemologist?philosophers and scientists (physicists, mathematicians and applied sciences and technology). 410 0$aLogic, Epistemology, and the Unity of Science,$x2214-9783 ;$v47 606 $aLogic 606 $aPhysics$xPhilosophy 606 $aMachinery 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aKnowledge, Theory of 606 $aLogic 606 $aPhilosophical Foundations of Physics and Astronomy 606 $aMachinery and Machine Elements 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aEpistemology 615 0$aLogic. 615 0$aPhysics$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aMachinery. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aKnowledge, Theory of. 615 14$aLogic. 615 24$aPhilosophical Foundations of Physics and Astronomy. 615 24$aMachinery and Machine Elements. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aEpistemology. 676 $a531 700 $aPisano$b Raffaele$f1970-$0763799 702 $aPeake$b Murray 702 $aCoopersmith$b Jennifer 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484853103321 996 $aEssay on machines in general (1786)$92851527 997 $aUNINA
