The Magnetic Circuit Model, 1850–1890: The Resisted Flow Image in Magnetostatics.D. W. Jordan - 1990 - British Journal for the History of Science 23 (2):131-173.details The magnetic circuit model acts as a unifying principle in descriptive magnetostatics, and as an approximate computational aid in electrical machine design. It was the subject of repeated rediscoveries through the period 1855 to 1886, taking different forms and being provided with different justifications but all motivated by the mathematical difficulty of existing magnetic theory. The process culminated in several competitively-slanted announcements of the principle made during 1884 to 1886, arising in connection with the already comparatively efficient designs of contemporary (...)

Physics in Australia and Japan to 1914: A comparison.R. W. Home & Masao Watanabe - 1987 - Annals of Science 44 (3):215-235.details Physics first became established in Australia and Japan at the same period, during the final quarter of the nineteenth and the first years of the twentieth century. A comparison of the processes by which this happened in these two developing countries on the Pacific rim shows that, despite the great cultural differences that existed, and that might have been expected to have been a source of major differences in national receptiveness to the new science, there were in fact many parallels (...)

Engineering science in Glasgow: economy, efficiency and measurement as prime movers in the differentiation of an academic discipline.Ben Marsden - 1992 - British Journal for the History of Science 25 (3):319-346.details In what follows I use the term ‘academic engineering’ to describe the teaching of engineering within a university or college of higher education: specifically, this differentiates an institutional teaching framework from the broader assimilation of engineering working practices in nineteenth-century Britain by the then standard method of apprenticeship or pupillage, and from the practice of engineering as a profession. The growth of academic engineering, both in terms of student numbers and the variety of courses, profoundly influenced the structure of what (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 4 citations
