Abstract
General solutions are obtained in rectangular, circular cylindrical, and spherical coördinates for the equations of motion of a homogeneous isotropic elastic body (in § 2), the equations of the corresponding statical deformations (§ 3), the equations of motion of an incompressible viscous fluid (§ 4), the equations of the corresponding stationary motion (§ 5), and Maxwell's equations for a homogeneous isotropic conductor (§ 6).
