回到向量和张量演算的根源。赫维赛德诉吉布斯案

Back to the Roots of Vector and Tensor Calculus. Heaviside versus Gibbs

Alessio Rocci

摘要:

1888年6月,奥利弗·赫维赛德收到了一本未正式出版的小册子,这本小册子是由美国作家威拉德·J·吉布斯在1881年至1884年左右撰写和印刷的。这份原始文件保存在华盛顿特区史密森学会的迪布纳科学技术史图书馆。赫维赛德研究吉布斯的工作非常仔细,并写了一些注释的空白处的小册子。他是一个强有力的捍卫者吉布斯的工作对向量分析对四元数,即使他批评吉布斯的符号系统。我们本文的目的是分析海维赛德的注释和调查所发挥的作用,美国物理学家在发展海维赛德的工作。

英文摘要:

In June 1888, Oliver Heaviside received by mail an officially unpublished pamphlet, which was written and printed by the American author Willard J. Gibbs around 1881-1884. This original document is preserved in the Dibner Library of the History of Science and Technology at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC. Heaviside studied Gibbs's work very carefully and wrote some annotations in the margins of the booklet. He was a strong defender of Gibbs's work on vector analysis against quaternionists, even if he criticized Gibbs's notation system. The aim of our paper is to analyse Heaviside's annotations and to investigate the role played by the American physicist in the development of Heaviside's work.
