New English Translations of Wilhelm Eduard Weber's Works
As I described in my post English Translations of Coulomb, Ampère and Weber, Prof. André Koch Torres Assis of the University of Campinas in Brazil has for many years been working on making available to the world the works on electricity of Wilhelm Eduard Weber. I just received an email from Prof. Assis, announcing the translation of several additional papers written by Wilhelm Weber. With permission, here is the email:
Dear Colleague,
I am writing to inform about the commented English translations of other works related to Weber's Electrodynamics which were not included in the four volumes of the book Wilhelm Weber's Main Works on Electrodynamics Translated into English.
These new translations are available in PDF format in the links below.
