- W2056558035 abstract "Abstract Williams Moore's known biography and his contribution to mechanics are summarized, and his acquaintanceship with Charles Hutton's work examined. G. K. Mikhailov's summary of workers on this subject before Moore, e.g. Daniel Bernoulli, is referred to. The contents of Moore's treatise on rocketry and naval gunnery, published in 1813, reputedly the first publication on the motion of rockets, are described in some detail and then related to his four slightly earlier papers on the same subject in Nicholson's journal. As well, his mathematical competence and particularly his successful use of the fluxional calculus, conflict somewhat with Charles Babbage's cry for d'ism rather than dottage. Comment on Moore's Naval Gunnery with reference to remarks of Howard Douglas in his classic work of 1855 on the same topic, is made. A tactic advocated by both was that of firing a cannon ball at speed just sufficient to penetrate a wooden-sided ship in order to secure maximum damage; this is a phenomenon still analytically unaccounted for." @default.
