Salve, Ioshe! :D
Hi, Josh, this is [[en:User:WillowW|Willow]]. I've been working with [[en:User:Linas|Linas]] on the so-called "principle of least action" in physics and we've been pursuing the original texts. I've been translating the second appendix to Euler's [http://math.dartmouth.edu/~euler/pages/E065.html Methodus inveniendi] which I've been posting to Wikisource at
[[:Wikisource:Methodus inveniendi/Additamentum II]]. I kind of want to finish the translation myself using a consistent notation, if that's OK with you. But I'm only a middling Latin scholar and I've never translated a scientific Latin work before, so I'm not sure that I did everything OK -- would you mind checking my translation to make sure that I didn't make any gross errors? I'd appreciate it very much. I'll probably finish typing in my translation later on today.
If you have any suggestions for the translation style itself, that'd also be great. As a translator, I sometimes stray from a literal word-by-word translation into something that ''means'' the same for modern readers; but at the same time, I don't want to take too many liberties with the text itself.
Thanks muchly muchly! :) [[Usor:WillowW|WillowW]] 15:00, 20 Iunii 2006 (UTC)
