191217483<p>Paris: Gauthier-Villars 1912 Second edition. Contemporary half calf. Spine richly gilt-decorated red label. . Octavo. A fine copy wkitht he original wrappers bound in. Henry Poincaré 1854-1912 was one of the most versatile mathematicians physicists and philosophers of the pre-modern era. He came extremely close to announcing the special theory of relativity just months before Einstein. In this treatise on probability theory Poincaré introduces the foundation of modern ergodic theory and expands on Gauss's law of large numbers. Whereas Gauss in Theoria Motus proved the normal law of error by assuming that the probability of a certain deviation depends only on the magnitude of the deviation Poincaré relaxes this assumption and shows that a law much more general than the Gaussian distribution may be deduced. See Whittaker The Calculus of Observations p. 218.</p> Gauthier-Villars,

18861389Baltimore: John Hopkins University 1886. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION OF POINCARE'S PROOF & A GENERALIZATION OF TWO THEOREMS OF KARL WEIERSTRASS a German mathematician frequently cited as the ‘father of modern analysis.' "Henri Poincaré 1854-1912 was a mathematician theoretical physicist and a philosopher of science famous for discoveries in several fields and referred to as the last polymath one who could make significant contributions in multiple areas of mathematics and the physical sciences" Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. <br /> <br /> While the proof Poincare published here had appeared in a French journal Poincare wanted it placed in American Journal of Mathematic the journal offered here so that he could both reproduce and expand upon it. As with many of Poincare's work this one exists or involves the interaction between various branches of mathematics. <br /> <br /> A translation of the first paragraph of Poincare's paper reads: ""I have given in the Bulletin de la Societe mathematique de France t. 12 page 124 a proof and a generalization of two theorems of M. Weierstrass. I wish to reproduce them here succinctly by making some additions which are essential to the proof" Poincare 289. The paper proceeds under six headings respectively: Reduction of Integrals; Singular Case of Reduction; Generalization of the Theorem of Abel; Intermediary Functions; Transformation; Sum of Zeros" Poincare 289. <br /> <br /> Poincare's proof and generalization relates to Weierstrass's work on Abelian functions and algebraic geometry. In fact "as soon as he came into contact with the work of Riemann and Weierstrass on Abelian functions and algebraic geometry Poincare was very much attracted by those fields. His papers on these subjects occupy in his complete works as much space as those on automorphic functions their dated ranging from 1881 to 1911. One of the main ideas in these papers is that of "reduction" of Abelian functions. Generalizing particular cases studied by Jacobi Weierstrass and Picard Poincare proved the general "complete reducibility" theorem. Abelian varieties can be decomposed in sums of "simple" abelian varieties having finite intersection. Poincare noted further that Abelian functions corresponding to reducible varieties and even to products of elliptic curves that is Abelian varieties of dimension 1 are "dense" among all Abelian functions - a result that enabled him to extend and generalize many of Riemann's results on theta functions and to investigate the special properties of the theta functions corresponding to the Jacobian varieties of algebraic curves.

A few years later Fredholm's theory of integral equations enabled him to solve all these problems; it is likely that Poincareé's papers had a decisive influence on the development of Fredholm's method in particular the idea of introducing a variable complex parameter in the integral equation. It should also be mentioned that Fredholm's determinants were directly inspired by the theory of "infinite determinants" of H. von Koch which itself was a development of much earlier results of Poincaré in connection with the solution of linear differential equations."
