Occational marginal dampstaining. First edition issued in the same year in both Paris and Berlin but only the Paris-edition also has the Latin text which was translated into French by d'Alembert himself.The work is highly important as it is the first work at all in which the general use of partial differential equations in mathematical physics appeared. D'Alembert discusses the mathematical theory of vibrations of cords and hereby he was led to partial differential equations which he applied to the "Theory of Winds" and laid the base of a scientific meteorology. He rejected the conception of Edmund Halley that the general circulation of the atmosphere is significantly controlled by the distribution of solar heating and applies a mathematical theory based on Newton's law of gravitation thus explaining the winds by means of the gravitational forces from the sun and moon. - D'Alembert's name survives in the mathematics of today the "Dalabertian" for wave equation D'alembert's paradox in hydrodynamics etc. hardcover
