A fine wide-margined copy. <br/><br/><em>Scarce first edition with the reprinted titlepage 1831 instead of 1830.Fourier's "Analyse des equations determines" constitutes a highly important work on the theory of equations a work which occupied Fourier throughout his life and the last thing that he wrote. The work contains numerous theories that had not previously been published e.g. his method of solution and applications of linear qualities due to which he actually anticipated linear programming.The work was of great importance to Fourier himself who had attempted to publish some of his important results on the subject as early as 1789 and who later ended up in a priority-dispute due to the much delayed publication of one of these results the Fourier-Budan theorem. His final opus constitutes his final preparation of the Fourier-theorem as well as many other important theories and results connected to his theory of equations and it thus presents us with his final views on this important science. "He had almost finished only the first two of its seven "livres". His friend Navier edited it for publication in 1831 inserting an introduction to establish from attested documents including the delayed 1789 paper Fourier's priority on results which had by then become famous. Perhaps Fourier was aware that he would not live to finish the work for he wrote a synopsis of the complete book which also appeared in this edition. The synopsis indicated his wide interests in the subject of which the most important not yet mentioned were various means of distinguishing between real and imaginary roots refinements of the Newton-Raphson method of approximating to the root of an equation extensions to Daniel Bernoulli's rule for the limiting value of the ratio of successive terms of a recurrent series and the method of solution and applications of linear inequalities. Fourier's remarkable understanding of the last subject makes him the great anticipator of linear programming." D.S.B. V:98. - Honeyman IV:1361. </em> unknown

Fourier's paper: pp. 236-281. <br/><br/><em>First printing of this importent paper dealing with the "Green-House-Effect". It is the second paper from 1824 in which Fourier investigates the connection between the temperature of the earth and radiation. Fourier's analysis in these two papers is widely recognized as the first proposal of what is now known as the greenhouse effect theory.In the 1820s Fourier calculated that an object the size of the Earth and at its distance from the Sun should be considerably colder than the planet actually is if warmed only by the effects of incoming solar radiation. He examined various possible sources of the additional observed heat in articles published in 1824 the paper offered is the second of the papers published 1824 and 1827. While he ultimately suggested that interstellar radiation might be responsible for a large portion of the additional warmth Fourier's consideration of the possibility that the Earth's atmosphere might act as an insulator of some kind is widely recognized as the first proposal of what is now known as the greenhouse effect theory. </em> unknown

Plates with light brownspotting. 4 XII 639 pp. 2 plates. <br/><br/><em>First edition of Fourier's seminal main work an epochal achievement in the history of science being "the first outstanding publication on the conduction of heat" Milestones of Science and the "source of all modern methods in mathematical physics involving the integration of partial differential equations in problems where boundary values are fixed." Cajori. "Fourier demonstrated that problems in mathematical physics can be solved for any complex condition when one knows how to solve the simple periodic initial condition." Milestones of Science. The great achievements that Fourier presents us with in the present work can be seen as twofold treating first the formulation of the physical problem as boundary-value problems in linear partial differential equations which extended rational mechanics to fields outside those Newton had defined in his "Principia" and second "the powerful mathematical toold he invented for the solution of the equations which yielded a long series of descendants and raised problems in mathematical analysis that motivated much of the leading work in that field for the rest of the century and beyond."
