Adventures with Lissajous Figures, Hardback Book

Adventures with Lissajous Figures Hardback

Hardback

Item not Available

Description

Lissajous Figures are produced by combining two oscillations at right angles to each other.

The figures, drawn by mechanical devices called Harmonographs, have scientific uses, but are also enjoyed for their own beauty.

The author has been working with harmonographs since his undergraduate days, has built several of them, lectured about them and has written articles about them. This book is intended for people who enjoy physics or art or both.

Certainly physics professionals, both students and faculty members, will enjoy reading about an interesting byway of physics.

The book is mainly designed for the reader who has some scientific literacy, but who may not be a scientist.

If your mathematics is rusty, a preliminary section on mathematics supplies the necessary background for reading the rest of the book.
