This book constitutes an attempt to expose the principles of statics in their original simplicity and to present it as an exercise in logic, a reasoning whose itinerary does not need to take the mathematical shortcut ".
The fact is that the mysteries of how machines work, the strength of bridges, the power of hydraulic presses, the stability of buildings give way to wonder at the simplicity of the principles that govern them. the science of forces in equilibrium, statics, is the oldest of modern sciences and remains the most important in everyday life. in this brilliant presentation, theory is not separated from its ancient and modern applications, nor ideas from their history.
So let's listen to Archimedes, Stevin, Descartes, Galileo, Newton, Torricelli, Pascal explain to us the structure of skyscrapers and bridges, the mechanisms of cranes and jacks, the resistance of materials and the paradoxes of hydrostatics. what begins here could well be a new pedagogy of science
