  • Joseph Sauveur and His Time: Music and Mathematicians

    Decline of the Greek Paradigm of Music

    by Danilo Capecchi, Giulia Capecchi ...
    Series series History (R0)
    This book focuses on the shift in the perception of music by educated classes, from the Greek view as an essentially rational enterprise to the modern view as an essentially artistic enterprise. One of the main parties responsible for the decline of the Greek view was Joseph Sauveur. Although historians universally acknowledge his foundational contributions to the evolution of music, there is a ... Read more

  • History of Virtual Work Laws

    A History of Mechanics Prospective

    by Danilo Capecchi ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    The book presents a history of classical mechanics by focusing on issues of equilibrium. The historical point of view adopted here restricts attention to cases where the effectiveness of forces is assessed on the basis of the virtual motion of their points of application. For completeness, hints of the alternative approach are also referred, the Archimedean for ancient mechanics and the Newtonian ... Read more

  • The Problem of the Motion of Bodies

    A Historical View of the Development of Classical Mechanics

    by Danilo Capecchi ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book focuses on the way in which the problem of the motion of bodies has been viewed and approached over the course of human history. It is not another traditional history of mechanics but rather aims to enable the reader to fully understand the deeper ideas that inspired men, first in attempting to understand the mechanisms of motion and then in formulating theories with predictive as well ...

    Reinterpreting the Birth of Modern Science

    by Danilo Capecchi ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book casts new light on the process that in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries led to a profound transformation in the study of nature with the emergence of mechanistic philosophy, the new mixed mathematics, and the establishment of the experimental approach. It is argued that modern European science originated from Hellenistic mathematics not so much because of rediscovery of the latter ... Read more

  • Belief Revision in Non-Classical Logics

    by Márcio Moretto Ribeiro ...
    Series series Computer Science (R0)
    Since the advent of the Semantic Web, interest in the dynamics of ontologies (ontology evolution) has grown significantly. Belief revision presents a good theoretical framework for dealing with this problem; however, classical belief revision is not well suited for logics such as Description Logics.Belief Revision in Non-Classical Logics presents a framework which can be applied to a wide class of ...
