Page 414 - The product of a simple alternant and a single symmetric function of its variables is expressible by a sum of simple alternants, whose indices are got by arranging the variables in every term of the symmetric function in the same order, and adding the indices of each term to the indices of the original alternant, the first to the first, the second to the second, and so on.
Page 475 - ... reflected by the yellow particles is deficient in the rays of the violet end of the spectrum. In the Mediterranean the solid particles are whitish, and all the different colour phenomena are easily explained by the different amounts of the reflecting particles at the different places. Where the colour is deep blue there are few particles in the water, and but little light reflected ; and, further, the light passes through a great amount of water, and undergoes a great amount of selective absorption...

The angle HCM is made 87° 30', which would be actually the case if 5h 50"' lunar time were the average time of high water for the whole earth. It is obvious that the resultant force of the moon, on the whole mass of the solid and liquid constituting the earth, is not a single force, exerted in the line MC, but that, after the manner of Poinsot, it may be represented by a single force in this line, and...
