What reading level is Elements of Natural Philosophy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
According to the unit generally adopted, the action of a system which has not varied in its kinetic energy, is twice the amount of the energy multiplied by the time from the epoch. Or if the energy has been sometimes greater and sometimes less, the action at time f is the double of what we may call the time-integral of the energy; that is to say, the action of a system is equal to the sum of the average momenta for the spaces described by the particles from any era each multiplied by the length... of its path.
280. The principle of Least Action is this : — Of all the different sets of paths along which a conservative system may be guided to move from one configuration to another, with the sum of its potential 1 Phil. Trans. , 1834— 1S35.
94 PRELIMINARY.
and kinetic energies equal to a given constant, that one for which the action is the least is such that the system will require only to be started with the proper velocities, to move along it unguided.
281. [In any unguided motion whatever, of a conservative system, the Action from any one stated position to any other, though not necessarily a minimum, fulfils the stationary condition, that is to say, the condition that the variation vanishes, which secures either a minimum or maximum, or maximum-minimum.
