"Haas possessed the 'conviction that no other method is as suited as the historical for facilitating the understanding of physical principles and for clarifying and deepening the knowledge of their significance' (Die Grundgleichungen der Mechanik ..., preface). His numerous books written from this point of view, often based on his lectures and addresses, are masterpieces of clear exposition which were widely disseminated and translated into many languages"(A. Hermann in DSB).
