1756 PHYSICS Experiments Dutch
Musschenbroek Isaac NEWTON Science MAP California
Pieter van Musschenbroek was an 18th-century Dutch scientist
known for his numerous physics experiments. He extensively studied the work of
Isaac Newton, attended his lectures, and developed many of his own hypotheses
based on those of Newton. His experiments were illustrated and thoroughly
described in his book ‘Experimental and
Mathematical Physics’. This 1756 edition includes impressive engravings
showing the details of his experiments on hydraulics, mechanics, optics, and
navigation!
According to the ‘Daumas
Historical Science’,
“Underlying Musschenbroek's lectures
demonstrated with experiments was the experimental philosophy. The principal
source of inspiration was Newton, but Galileo, Torricelli, Huygens, Réaumur,
and others were important to this school.”
This tome includes the oft-lacking folding map of the world which features
California as an island!
