From MaRDI portal
[For the entire collection see Zbl 0758.00020.] The author speculates on the various methods used to model continuous media in the mathematical physics of this time. Consideration is given to the molecular non-aetherian Laplace, the non-molecular non-aetherian Fourier, the molecular Cauchy, the non-molecular aetherian Cauchy, and the molecular-aetherian Fresnel.
