Excerpt from Mathematical and Physical Papers, 1903-1913 IN this volume are assembled practically all the papers which Professor B. O. Peirce published in the last ten years of his life. The project originated with the late Professors John Trow bridge and Wallace C. Sabine, and has been further strength ened by the inquiries of scientists both here and abroad, to whom certain of the reprints were inaccessible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.

This is a collection of papers by American mathematician Benjamin Peirce, covering topics such as the calculus of variations, celestial mechanics, and the theory of elasticity. Peirce's work was influential in the development of mathematical physics in the late 19th century.
