What reading level is A Short Account of the History of Mathematics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The part which deals with the action of a solid on a liquid and the mutual action of two liquids was not worked out thoroughly, but ultimately was completed by Gauss : Neumann later filled in a few details. In 1862 Lord Kelvin (Sir William Thomson) shewed that, if we assume the molecular constitution of matter, the laws of capillary attraction can be deduced from the Newtonian law of gravitation.
Laplace in 1816 was the first to point out explicitly why Newton's theory of vibratory motion gave ...an incorrect value for the velocity of sound. The actual velocity is greater than that 420. LAGRANGE, LAPLACE, ETC. [ch. Xviii calculated by Newton in consequence of the heat developed by the sudden compression of the air which increases the elasticity and therefore the velocity of the sound transmitted. Laplace's investigations in practical physics were confined to those carried on by him jointly with Lavoisier in the years 1782 to 1784 on the specific heat of various bodies.
Laplace seems to have regarded analysis merely as a means of attacking physical problems, though the ability with which he invented the necessary analysis is almost phenomenal.
