From Frechet Differentials to Firing Tables The Scope and Sources of Gilbert Ames Bliss' Contributions to World War I Era Ballistics /

This monograph explores the history of the contribution to ballistics by the American mathematician Gilbert Ames Bliss during World War I. Drawing on the then-evolving calculus of variations, Bliss pioneered a novel technique for solving the problem of differential variations in ballistic trajectory...
