:'' "Important investigations by physicists on the foundations of mechanics are at hand; I refer to the writings of Mach, Hertz, Boltzmann and Volkmann. It is therefore very desirable [http://www.thesiswritingservice.com/ thesis writing services] that the discussion of the foundations of mechanics be taken up by mathematicians also." '' | |||
