The Military March of Physics – II: Teachers and Textbooks of Physics and Mechanical Sciences of the 19th Century Ottoman Military Schools

Abstract

Discipline-building history of physics and mechanical sciences in the Ottoman Empire was a slow and accumulative process. It owed much to the establishment and advancement of modern military schools –the favorite institutions of the nineteenth-century reforms. This research article examines the education of physics and mechanical sciences at the Ottoman military schools of the nineteenth-century: the Mühendishane-i Berri-i Hümayun (the Military Engineering School), the Mekteb-i Bahriye-i Şahane (the Naval Academy), the Mekteb-i Tıbbiye-i Şahane (the Military School of Medicine), and the Mekteb-i Harbiye-i Şahane (the Military Academy). The author presupposes three educational elements that were essential in the constitution of physics in this period: The curriculum, the teacher and the textbook. Place of physics and mechanical sciences in the curricula of these schools, has been examined in a previous article, The Military March of Physics I. The present article, on the other hand, examines the other two educational elements: teachers of physics and mechanical sciences, and textbook written by them.
