As a retired artilleyman, I found this to be very interesting.

I told myself I was going to watch just 3 minutes, & ended up finishing the entire video with absolute attention 😂

Euler has done work on BUCKLING of columns. It is called "Change of State" from stable to unstable. As structural Engineer I have found it interesting. So too, Timoshenko's work on "Beams on elastic foundations" For those who are turned on this is same joy as religion. No offend to any religion. Please do not fight. This is more fun and like talking to God.
@felixthecat265
I particularly liked the reference made to Euler in the film "Hidden Figures" about the Ladies who calculated trajectories for NASA in the 1960s..
@AbuSayed-er9vs
I think it’s a very interesting and unique topic in YouTube!!Thanks a lot.........
@deansawich6250
Wow, thanks. Artillery calculations have been one of those "I wonder how they do that?" questions I have never researched. But I didn't realise just how much was involved in them. Quite a history to their current manifestations. 😊
@89volvowithlazers
The beauty of science and history is u can't fake the sources, just follow the timeline the names will lead you to where we are now. 🎉🎉🎉 Great lecture loved it, reminds me of my college physic book, every example was some.small town being blasted by a cannoball
@jakklump
It would be MUCH BETTER to somewhere find an artillerist that is proficient at mathematics, than to have a proficient mathematician that seems only passingly familiar with the practice of artillery.

So glad to see an OU professor making this discourse. Terrible shame the BBC decided to abandon one of it's key Reith tenets of "Inform, educate and entertain". It seems like it now just choses to use it's air time for low-brow 'entertainment'.
@peterrobinherbert
Aristotle's theory of projectile motion??? It doesn't sound like anything Aristotle would say and an internet search doesn't show any reference to this that can give a cite to anything Aristotle actually said. Perhaps it is from Mechanics, which used to be attributed to Aristotle but is now known to be by another author. In any case, according to Wikipedia, the Santbech illustration is not supposed to represent Aristotle's alleged theory of projectile motion, but rather is a simplification by Santbech (who was aware of how projectiles travelled) to allow him to use trigonometry to describe the trajectory. So, nothing to do with Aristotle and yet another example of the many, many misrepresentations of what Aristotle said.
@DissoluteGambler
Thanks. I love the history of the practical side of math. It would be interesting to see how the theory was amplified by the time of WWI and how the methods changed when so many writers were involved in the computation of trajectory tables during WWII and they were using early computers for the work. That work altered how we looked at the future and it's still affecting how we look at AI.
@BlackhawkPilot
As a retired army officer of almost 40 years the subject is fascinating. However, the fuse of so many filler words is very distracting.
@phizzicks
Extremely interesting summary, thank-you
@johannesasfaha2132
very interesting; thanks
@thatsthewayitgoes9
Very odd theories based on arrows and spears weren’t part of trajectory findings. A keen eye at certain angles can see the flight quite easily.

nice fact @9:13 Blondel's the art of throwing bombs Printer : Mortier= MORTAR (in fact a homllow stone where you can squeeze materialen zb plants for medicine or culinary)

Great video! Well documented, Peace out

Great! Thanks!
