This Study Began As An Attempt To Understand Mechanics In The Nineteenth Century. The Terms Mechanics And Mechanical World View Were Being Used As General Descriptions Of Nineteenthcentury Physicists' Assumptions And Interpretations Of Nature. However, There Were No Studies Of The Particulars Of These Assumptions Or The Range And Content Of These Interpretations. Rene Dugas' Work On Classical Mechanics Focused On France. The Search For The Particulars Of These Forms Of 'Mechanics' Led Me To Explore Precisely What Mechanics Meant To Physicists Of A Century And More Ago. However, None Of Lagrange'S, Hamilton'S, Or Jacobi'S 'Mechanics,' While Ele Gant, Fits Easily Within The History Of Physics. Lagrange Reduced Mechanics To An Exercise In Analysis; Hamilton And Jacobi Used Mechanics To Explore Solutions To Partial Differential Equations. They Were Mathematicians Doing Mathematics. As I Went Deeper Into The Matter It Became Obvious That, In The Nineteenth Century, There Were Two Kinds Of Mechanics, Each Containing A Variety Of Forms, One Physical, The Other Mathematical. There Were A Group Of Men Using Mechanics To Understand Nature And Another Group Using The Equations Of Mechanics To Explore The Calcu Lus. However, When Tracing These Two Traditions Back Into The Eighteenth Century, Physics Disappeared Altogether.
