In 1742, Benjamin Robins published New principles of gunnery, and revolutionized the study of ballistics by suggesting the projectile's initial velocity—not its range—was the appropriate parameter to consider in accounting for air resistance. In 1745, Leonard Euler produced a German translation of ...
the Armed Forces' General Staffs—this is why trigonome- try was the focal point and apex of school math- ematics: in the era of mass conscription armies, it was all about preparation for training, in case of war, of a sufficient number of artillery and Navy officers and aircraft pilots...
. These new rules were extended beyond the fortified boundary, subjecting fortress compounds and even entire cities to those typical stellar plans that, inside, assured the functional reduction of the paths for the repositioning of troops and, outside, kept enemy artillery as far away as possible...
Aiming at the requirement of damage testing and evaluation of equivalent target plate based on the explosion of intelligent ammunition, this paper proposes a novel method for damage testing and evaluation method of circumf
we want to give some similar examples in the mathematical world, for instance, the geometry theory and complex function theory pioneered by Riemann are certainly highly important, but these theories are also just a small part of the whole mathematical field, and it naturally cannot solve all the...
Mathematics has been a weapon of war as long as it has been an identifiable field of intellectual pursuit. Ancient armies used mathematics to number troops, to array their armies on the field and to construct fortifications. Galileo Galilei did mathematical analyses for the arsenal at Venice and...
