The circumstances of mere motion , considered without reference to the bodies
moved , or to the forces producing the motion , or to the forces called into action
by the motion , constitute the subject of a branch of Pure Mathematics , which is ...

It is useful to consider at the outset various theorems connected with the
geometrical notion of the path described by a moving point ; and these we shall
now take up , deferring the consideration of Velocity to a future section , as being
more ...

all the sides being produced each in the direction in which the moving point
describes it while passing round the figure . This is true whether the polygon be
closed or not . If closed , then , as long as it is not crossed , this sum is four right
angles ...

When the point does not move uniformly , the velocity is variable , or different at
different successive instants : but we define the ... That there is at every instant a
definite velocity for any moving point , is evident to all , and is matter of everyday

The preceding definition of velocity is equally applicable whether the point move
in a straight or a curved line ; but , since , in ... Thus , for a train moving up an
incline in a N.E. direction , we may have the whole velocity and the steepness of
the ...
