History of Kinematics by Enzo Macagno
(1st Paragraph)
+Kinematics/ kinematical studies existed before ampere and before Greek science

Ampere- Introduced study of motion(Kinematics)
Kinematics is not a branch of mathematics but Ampere made modern kinematics into science
-motion would be studied without force involved
-kinematics role is like a bridge connecting geometry and physics

+Kinematics and Geometry are somewhat similar but not (Sisters)

(2nd Paragraph)
+In an extensive bibliography of kinematics [de Groot 1970],
there is only one entry that does not relate to kinematics of machines and mechanisms, which is on kinematics of continua.
Even to other authors like Lagrange, Euler, Muybridge, Truesdell
+It is difficult to agree on what is the topic-based(thematic) of kinematics,

(3rd Paragraph)
+Kinematics is somewhere between geometry(length) and dynamics(length, mass, and time)
that is why one should be careful not to believe easily by either analysis or theoretical studies of displacements of geometric figures
because you won't understand kinematics unless you had a knowledge to physics
+Kinematics deals with motion in the most general ways possible where there are motion of matter, motion of form and other properties
+It won't be easy to describe what kinematics is with a few sentences
+In historical developments of motions that were documented, different beliefs were developed and abstracted
which we only know the products but does not know the thinking associated with it
