Dunning-Davies

This book sets forth the authors' Neo-Newtonian mechanics with extension to relativistic velocities but without recourse to Einstein's relativity theories. It is motivated by Eric Laithwaite's infamous lecture to the Royal Society that (more or less) resulted in him being run out of town on a rail. The authors have set themselves the task of giving a rigorous and elementary theory to explain his amazing demonstrations, but using only as minimal a modification of Newtonian mechanics as both possible and necessary so that this derivation can be considered to be algorithmic in nature with the inputs determining the degree of precision desired. And then the authors extend this alteration to relativistic velocities at the very end. Finally, examples are given of this theory, and related topics are discussed. Radiative and Inductive effects are treated in Part 2 of this work. This is the ninth edition.

Dennis P. Allen Jr. earned his doctorate, master’s and bachelor’s degrees from the University of California at Berkeley. He has done research work for Bell Telephone Laboratories and taught mathematics at Michigan Technological University. In 2011, he published ＂Foundations of Neo-Spearsian Gravitational Theory with Application to Earthquake Early Warning Systems＂ and ＂The Reality Oriented Mathematician＂, a memoir, now in its third edition. And he has published a mathematical book ＂The Lebesgue Measure, A New Point of View＂ (second edition) that goes into the first digit phenomenon and the continuum problem. He is divorced and has three sons and a daughter. Jeremy Dunning-Davies gained his bachelor’s degree at Liverpool University before moving to Cardiff University where he gained a doctorate under the supervision of P. T. Landsberg. He is the author of three books -- ＂Exploding a Myth＂, ＂Concise Thermodynamics＂ and ＂Methods for Mathematicians, Physical Scientists and Engineers＂ -- as well as more than 150 academic articles. He is married with a son and a daughter.
