178260306Toulouse, 1782 et 1788, , 2 ouvrages en 1 volume in-4 de 22 pages et 1 planche, puis de 40 pages, demi-veau moderne, dos lisse portant une pièce de titre, Deux mémoires en édition originale tirés des "Histoire et mémoires de l'Académie royale des sciences, inscriptions et belles lettres de Toulouse" (pages 43-64 du premier volume paru en 1782, et pages 29-72 du troisième volume publié en 1788). Roger Martin, appelé aussi Abbé Martin jusqu'à la Révolution, naquit en 1742 à Estadens dans la Haute-Garonne ; brillant élève de sciences, il fut nommé professeur de philosophie à 20 ans au Collège Royal de Toulouse. Passionné de physique et de mathématique, il parvint à faire instaurer dans ce même Collège un cabinet de physique expérimentale ; les leçons qu'il y professait eurent un grand succès. Dans les deux présents mémoires, lus à sept ans d'intervalle devant l'Académie de Toulouse, l'auteur pose le problèmes de l'infini mathématique à l'aune de la méthode du calcul différentiel initié par Newton et développé par Leibniz, tout en appréhendant ses méthodes nouvelles et modernes par le biais de "la méthode des Anciens, connue sous le nom de méthode d'exhaustion ou des limites".

Pp. 167-69. Entire volume: 2 555 35 pp. five engraved plates. <br/><br/><em>First printing of one of Leibniz's latest publications in which he proposed an interpretation of infinitesimals by a comparison of bodies of different extensions. The paper is a response to to a problem raised by French philosopher and mathematician Antoine Arnauld who wrote an important philosophical work known as "The Logic of Port-Royal" from 1662 and "Geometry" 1667. In the book he includes an example of symbolic rules that he considers to be against our basic intuitions on magnitudes and proportions. His reasoning goes as follows "Suppose we have two numbers a larger and a smaller one. The proportion of the larger to the smaller one should evidently be larger than the proportion of the smaller to the larger one. But if we use 1 as the larger number and - 1 as the smaller one this would lead to 1/-1 > -1/1 which is against the rules of algebra". Heeffer The Methodological Relevance of the History of Mathematics for Mathematics Education 1992.Leibniz saw this as a genuine mathematical problem but argued that the division should be performed as a symbolic calculation. "Following Leibniz the infinite appeared in two forms as the i Contiuous infinite and ii the discrete infinite. The status of the differentials is closely related to the status of the infinite. . As a consequence there is no clear and consistence distinction between continua of different kind related to i geometry and to ii mechanics. . Leinbiz did neither consequently argue mathematically or arithmetically nor consequently geometrically phenomenologically and mechanically. But The correlation between mathematics and physics is as impressive as possible. Suisky Euler as physicist 2009 p. 89-90.The volume also contains:Bernoulli Johann.

Entire volume: 4 553 39 pp. seven engraved plates. <br/><br/><em>First printing of the famous Libnitz-issue of Acta Eruditorum published a year after the death of Leibnitz including the renowned obituary by the German philosopher Christian Wolff. In 1706 Leibniz recommended Wolff for the Professorship at Halle the post Wolff held for seventeen years until his dismissal and in 1711 Leibniz sponsored Wolff's membership to the Berlin Academy. It is also mentioned that during the year of Leibniz's death in 1716 Leibniz visited Wolff in Halle when returning to Hanover from Vienna. To honor Leibnitz memory Wolff undertook the project of writing ELOGIUM GODOFREDI GUILIEMI LEIBNITII a treatise of the life of Leibnitz. As early as 1679 George I acting as Leibnitz patron directed him to write the history of the house of Brunswick. Immediately after he began arranging material he had collected. The work was however only the preparatory steps when Leibnitz died in 1716 and the work was never published. The present paper NOTITIA DE HISTORIA BRUNSUICENSI is the only part of the work which could have become a opus magnum with historiography that has ever been published. The volume also contains:Goldbach Christian. Temperamentum Musicum Universale. Pp. 114-15.And many other papers by influential contemporary mathematicians philosophers and historians. </em> hardcover

1747170287Amsterdam: Chez François Changuion 1747. The foundation text of theodicy Second edition of Jaucourt's critical edition the first to credit him as the author in a handsome 19th-century binding. Jaucourt's edition includes the Theodicy's four appendices his biography of Leibniz and a chronological catalogue of his works. The Theodicy was originally published in 1710. Jaucourt's edition first appeared in 1734. The Theodicy the only major philosophical treatise that Leibniz published during his lifetime vindicates the justice and goodness of God despite the existence of evil. Notably it includes the first statement of his famed argument that this world despite its manifest problems is nonetheless the best of all possible worlds. "Although the immediate reaction to the book was somewhat muted the Theodicy soon became commonly associated with Leibniz's name in European culture. Today Leibniz's name remains closely associated with the project that he developed most fully in the Theodicy. The neologism that Leibniz coined in the title from the Greek theos dike literally: "the justice of God" has entered the lexicon as a term describing any attempt to reconcile the goodness of God with the presence of evil in the world a project to which Leibniz had devoted a good portion of his life" Jorgensen & Newlands pp. 1-2.
