It shows that the subject has its roots in geometry, mechanics and mechanical engineering and how it became in the 19th century a coherent field of research, for which Ampère coined the name kinematics. The story starts with the important Greek tradition of solving construction problems by means of kinematically defined curves and the use of kinematical models in Greek astronomy. As a result in 17th century mathematics motion played a crucial role as well, and the book pays ample attention to it. It is also discussed how the concept of instantaneous velocity, unknown to the Greeks, etc was introduced in the late Middle Ages and how in the 18th century, when classical mechanics was formed, kinematical theorems concerning the distribution of velocity in a solid body moving in space were proved. The book shows that in the 19th century, against the background of the industrial revolution, the theory of machines and thus the kinematics of mechanisms received a great deal of attention. In the final analysis, this led to the birth of the discipline. 0aMathematics.965523 0aHistory. 0aSciencexHistory.965232 0aMechanical engineering.95832314aHistory of Mathematical Sciences.96619724aHistory of Science.96610124aMechanical Engineering.9583232 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303139871108iPrinted edition:z978303139873508iPrinted edition:z9783031398742 0aHistory of Mechanism and Machine Science,x1875-3426 ;v4696610240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-39872-8  aZDB-2-ENG  aZDB-2-SXE  c56337d56337
