16962447Leipzig: Gross & Fritsch 1696. First edition. vellum marbled boards. Very Good. FIRST PRINTINGS OF THE PAPERS DOCUMENTING THE PROPOSAL AND SOLUTION OF THE "BRACHISTOCHRONE PROBLEM" ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS MATHEMATICAL CHALLENGES AND ONE OF THE EARLIEST PROBLEMS POSED IN THE CALCULATION OF VARIATIONS. The challenge of the brachistochrone "began in June of 1696 when Johann Bernoulli published a challenge problem in Leibniz's journal Acta Eruditorum. Obviously a legacy of public challenge remained from the days of Fior and Tartaglia. Although contests were now conducted in the sedate pages of scholarly journals they retained their power to make or break reputations as Johann himself observed:<br /> <br /> '. it is known with certainty that there is scarcely anything which more greatly excites noble and ingenious spirits to labors which lead to the increase of knowledge than to propose difficult and at the same time useful problems through the solution of which as by no other means they may attain to fame and build for themselves eternal monuments among posterity.'<br /> <br /> "Johann's particular challenge was a good one. He imagined points A and B at different heights above the ground and not lying one directly above the other. There is certainly an infinitude of different curves connecting these two points from a straight line to an arc of a circle to any number of other wavy undulating paths. Now imagine a ball rolling from A down to B along such a curve. The time it take to complete the trip depends of course on the curve's shape. Bernoulli challenged the mathematical world to find that one particular curve AMB along which the ball will roll the shortest time. He called this curve the 'brachistochrone' from the Greek words for 'shortest' and 'time'.<br /> <br /> "An obvious first guess is to take AMB as the straight line joining A and B. But Johann cautioned against this simplistic approach:<br /> <br /> '. to forestall hasty judgment although the straight line AB is indeed the shortest between the points A and B it nevertheless is not the path traversed in the shortest time. However the curve AMB whose name I shall give if no one else discovered it before the end of this year is one well-known to geometers.'<br /> <br /> "Johann gave the mathematical world until January 1 1697 to come up with a solution. However when his deadline arrived he had received but one solution from the 'celebrated Leibniz' who:<br /> <br /> 'has courteously asked me to extend the time limit to next Easter in order than in the interim the problem might be made public . that no one might have cause to complain of the shortness of the time allotted. I have not only agreed to this commendable request but I have decided to announce myself the prolongation and shall now see who attacks this excellent and difficult question and after so long a time finally masters it.'"<br /> <br /> At this point Johann and others were surprised and perhaps a little delighted that they had not received a solution from their English rival Sir Isaac Newton. Wondering if Newton has not noticed the challenge Johann sent Newton directly a personal letter outlining the problem. When Newton received the letter he did not disappoint. As Newton's niece Catherine Conduitt explained:<br /> <br /> "When the problem in 1697 was sent by Bernoulli - Sir I.N. was in the midst of the hurry of the great recoinage and did not come home till four from the Tower very much tired but did not sleep till he had solved it which was by four in the morning."<br /> <br /> "Even late in life and tired from a hectic day's work Isaac Newton triumphed where most of Europe had failed! It was a remarkable display of the powers of the great British genius. He had clearly felt his reputation and honor were on the line; after all both Bernoulli and Leibniz were waiting in the wings to publish their own solutions. So Newton rose to the occasion and solved the problem in a matter of hours. Somewhat exasperated he is reported at one point to have said 'I do not love . to be . teezed by foreigners about Mathematical things.'<br /> <br /> "Back in Europe as Easter neared a few solutions came into the hands of Johann Bernoulli. The curve that everyone was seeking - one that 'is well-known to geometers' - was none other than an upside-down cycloid. This important curve was studied by Pascal and Huygens but neither of these mathematicians had realized that it would also serve as the curve of quickest descent. Johann wrote with characteristic hyperbole '. you will be petrified with astonishment when I say that precisely this cycloid . of Huygens is our required brachistochrone.'<br /> <br /> "On Easter the challenge period had expired. All together Johann had received five solutions. There was his own and the one from Leibniz. His brother Jakob came through perhaps to Johann's dismay with a third and the Marquis de l'Hospital added a fourth. Finally there was a submission bearing an English postmark. Opening it Johann found the solution correct although anonymous. He clearly had met his match in the person of Isaac Newton. Although unsigned the solution bore the unmistakable signs of supreme genius.<br /> <br /> "There is a legend - probably of dubious authenticity but nonetheless of great charm - that Johann partially chastened partially in awe put down the unsigned document and knowingly remarked 'I recognize the lion by his claw.'" Quoted from William Dunham Journey Through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics Wiley 1990 page 199-202.<br /> <br /> The Brachistochrone Papers - the proposal and the solutions included:<br /> <br /> Johann: Supplementum defectus geometria cartesianae circa inventionem locorum; 2.

To find the curve that a point M moving on a path AMB must follow such that starting from A it reaches B in the shortest time under its own gravity."Johann adds that this curve is not a straight line but a curve well known to geometers and that he will indicate that curve if nobody would do so that year. Later that year Johann corresponded directly with Leibniz regarding his challenge. Leibniz solved the problem the same day he received notice of it and almost correctly predicted a total of only five solutions: from the two Bernoullis himself L'Hospital and Newton. Leibniz was convinced that the problem could only be solved by a mathematician who mastered the new field of calculus. Galileo had formulated and given an incorrect solution to the problem in his Dialogo. But by the end of the year Johann had still not received any other solutions. However Leibniz convinced Johann that he should extend the deadline to Easter and that he should republish the problem. Johann now had copies of the problem sent to Journal des sçavans the Philosophical Transactions and directly to Newton. Earlier that year Johann had accused Newton for having filched from Leibniz' papers. Manifestly both Johann and Leibniz interpreted the silence from June to December as a demonstration that the problem had baffled Newton. They intended now to demonstrate their superiority publicly. But Newton sent a letter dated Jan. 30 1697 to Charles Montague then president of the Royal Society in which he gave his solution and mentioned that he had solved it the same day that he received it. Montague had Newton's solution published anonymously in the Philosophical Transactions. However when Bernoulli saw this solution he realized from the authority which it displayed that it could only have come from Newton Bernoulli later remarked that he 'recognized the lion by its claw'.

Johann Bernoulli's: pp. 59-65; 374-376. <br/><br/><em>First printing of a series of influential papers by Leibniz Jacob Bernoulli and Johann Bernoulli.First publication of Jakob Bernoulli's famous and influential "Bernoulli Equation". In "Notatiuncula Constructiones Lineae" Bernoulli proposed a solution to non linear equations which today is one of the most common used solutions of the general fluid. Bernoulli equations are significant because they are nonlinear differential equations with known exact solutions. In the "Specimen dynamicum" Leibniz presents a conception of body and force which distinct between primitive and derivative forces and between active and passive forces. This article is regarded as being the clearest exposition of Leibniz' dynamics. DSB VII 151b."The first attempt at a detailed account of the dynamics was a long dialogue the "Phoranomus seu de potentia et legibus naturae" written in July 1689 while Leibniz was in Rome. This was quickly followed be the composition of the massive Dynamica de potential et legibus naturae corporeae 1689-90 . Though it was written with the intention of publication and though Leibniz work at publishing it he never considered it entirely finished and it remained unpublished during his lifetime.The later . he finally revealed some of the metaphysical foundations of the project in an essay the present paper." Garber Daniel. Leibniz: body substance monad. 2009. 132 p."Its title suggests a summary of or a selection from the earlier work . However it actually contains something in a way rather more interesting: a careful exposition of the metaphysical foundations of the new science something that is hard to find in the old Dynamica or any of the more Technical pieces."
