Braunschweig: Vieweg and Son 1888.<br /> <br /> 8vo. xviii 58 pp. including half-title.<br /> <br /> First edition rare of Dedekind’s important work on set theory. His epochal 1872 publication Stetigkeit und irrationale zahlen gave the first rigorous definition of the system of real numbers laying the foundation for much of modern day real analysis and point-set topology. This his follow-up work elaborates on his attempts “to derive a purely logical foundation for arithmetic and devised a number of axioms that formally and exactly represented the logical concept of whole numbers†DSB. Dedekind 1831-1916 a German mathematician friend and colleague of Georg Cantor claimed all of mathematics to be a branch of logic. In this work The nature and meaning of numbers he “presents a theory of the integers using set-theoretic concepts and outlines a possible approach to placing the rationals on a logistically well-founded axiomatic basis†Parkinson p. 415.<br /> <br /> <br /> 2. FISCHER Otto<br /> <br /> Konforme abbildung sphärischer dreiecke auf einander mittelst algebraischer funktionen. Leipzig: von Metzger & Wittig 1885.<br /> <br /> 8vo. 76 pp. Complete with half-title and 2 large folding plates on heavier stock.<br /> <br /> First edition of the author’s thesis on conforming images of spherical triangles by means of algebraic functions. Fischer 1861-1916 was a German physiologist and mathematician earning a doctorate degree from the Franke Foundation in Halle an der Saale in 1885 under Felix Klein. His main interest was the mechanics of the muscles and joints of the human musculoskeletal system. He was a professor at the University of Leipzig where he taught both medicine and mathematics.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 3. PHRAGMÉN Lars Edvard<br /> <br /> Über die Berechnung der einzelnen Glieder der Riemann’schen primzahlformel. Stockholm: Kongliga vetenskaps-Akademiens Förhandlingar 1891.<br /> <br /> 8vo. pp. 721-744.<br /> <br /> First edition of this famous work on the calculation of the individual members of the Riemann prime number formula.<br /> <br /> The son of mathematics teachers Phragmén 1863-1937 also taught mathematics before obtaining his degree at the University of Uppsala. He was an editor at the Acta Mathematica where he corresponded with Poincare to correct a book in which he found a number of errors. He was also president of the Swedish Society of Actuaries. He is best known however for the Phragmén-Lindelöf principle an extension of the maximum modulus principle of complex analysis to unbounded domains. <br /> <br /> 4. NEUMANN Carl<br /> <br /> Ueber den Satz der virtuellen verrückungen; Ueber das princip der virtuellen oder facultativen verrückungen. Leipzig: von Breitkopf und Härtel 1869.<br /> <br /> Two separate papers. 8vo. pp. 257-280; 53-64. In Konigl. Sachs. Gesellschaft der Wissenchaften. With annotations on the first couple of pages. At the end of the second paper a thank you by C.F. Gauss.<br /> <br /> Two works on virtual displacements. Neumann created the second-type boundary which when imposed on an ordinary or partial differential equation if specifies the value that the derivative of a solution is to take on the boundary of the domain. <br /> <br /> Neumann 1832-1925 was professor of mathematics at both the Universities of Tübingen and Leipzig. His main interests were in applied mathematics and he wrote on mathematical physics potential and electrodynamics. He was also editor of Mathematische Annalen.<br /> <br /> 5. LERCH Matyáš<br /> <br /> Contributions à la théorie des fonctions; Addition au mémorie présenté dans la séance du 15 Octobre Prag 1886.<br /> <br /> Two separate papers. 8vo. pp. 571-582; pp.423-432. With a 4 page letter containing mathematical <br /> <br /> <br /> symbols handwritten by Lerch to Karl Weierstrass 1815-1897 tipped in between the two papers. The letter is signed by Lerch and dated October 1890. A small section of page 582 is crossed out in the same hand.<br /> <br /> First printings of Lerch’s contributions to general mathematical functions. These papers are the first in a series dealing with the general theory of functions the most significant of which constitutes construction of continuous functions having no derivative. These works were written quite early. Lerch 1860-1922 showed exceptional abilities while still studying at the Czech Technical University at Prague. Before 1896 he published more than 110 scientific papers in domestic as well as prominent foreign journals. Much of his work concerned mathematical analysis including theories of infinite series of the gamma function of elliptic functions and the integral calculus.<br /> <br /> Weierstrass is generally referred to as the father of modern analysis. He made significant contributions and advancements in the field of calculus of variations. Numerous theories and functions bear his name.<br /> <br /> 6. MÉRAY Hugues Charles Robert<br /> <br /> Théorie des radicaux fondée exclusivement sur les propriétés générales des séries entières. Dijon Darantiere 1885.<br /> <br /> 8vo. 75 1 pp. Title page in manuscript signed by Méray and dated Dijon 1891. With annotations throughout probably by the author for another edition.<br /> First edition of Méray’s famous work Radical theory based exclusively on the general properties of power series. <br /> <br /> Méray 1835-1911 is remembered for having anticipated clearly and with only minor differences of style Cantor’s theory of irrational numbers one of the main steps in the arithmetization of analysis. Of interest an earlier “arithmetical†theory of irrational numbers was propounded by Weierstraass in his lectures when he introduced the real numbers as sums of sequences of rational numbers. Dedekind also seems to have developed his theory of irrationals at an earlier date.<br /> <br /> No copies of Phragmén Lerch or Méray are located by OCLC. Vieweg unknown

WB18618Paris ca 1795. Hardcover. Near Fine. An exceptional French Mathematics Manuscript in 3 volumes. Contemporary French mottled calf gilt floral panels separate black morocco labeling covers with border line tooling marbling on text block edging. Collation: Géometrie &2- 193 pp. 60 blank leaves; Algèbra & 2 -166 pp. 46 blank leaves; Planches & 2pp. 182 figures on 76 plates 48 blank leaves. All plates are on stiff blue laid paper. This course was taken by noted French economist Arthémond de Régny 1777-1841 probably during his university training in the latter part of the 18 century. Each volume has been prepared well with very legible and precise script and geometric figures. The organization of the Geometry volume starts with Euclid with numerical reference to geometric drawings in the Plate volume. A number of Problems Solutions and Corollaries are next. The remainder of this volume deals with 50 theorems for plane and sold geometry. Each theorem is stated first followed by demonstration then corollaries with further demonstration construction remark and ends with one or more problems along with solutions and reference where appropriate to figures in Plate volume. The volume on Algebra starts with basic addition subtraction multiplication and division. Next is a discussion of algebraic fractions their reduction with same denominator multiplication division and equations. Numerous examples of equations and computations occupy the remainder of the manuscript. Included are problems for solving equations with one two or three unknowns occasionally presenting a solution with a second method. The end of the manuscript has problems for 2 unknowns of znd degree division of irrationals and extracting the square root of a binomial. <br/><br/>Provenance: Arthémond de Régny bookplate on front pastedown of each volume. Régny was a noted French economist who was invited around 1830 by Greek leader Capodistrias to assist Greece with their economic problems. Although Capodistrias was assassinated before he arrived Régny stayed in Greece during the period of Regency 1833-1835. He went on to found and assist in organizing the State Audit Council according to French ideals and became its first chairman. He also assisted in the Foundation of the National Bank of Greece in 1841. Arthémond de Régny got married in 1798 to the Genoese woman Catherine Castellini who was the daughter of Balthasar and granddaughter of Domenico Castellini who conquered the Algerians in 1763. Balthasar Castellini was consul to Naples and subsequently in Cartagena Spain Marseille and Genoa. He was in charge of important missions by the royal court of Naples and also held an outstanding position in the trade. The family Régny was originally from the province of Dombes. At the beginning of the eighteenth century Francois Régny established his family in Genoa where he was in charge of the "Direction of the Diplomats for the King. hardcover

Nineteenth century half calf and marbled boards now lacking the leather corner-pieces revealing earlier full vellum boards underneath; covers a little worn; light tidemark to the bottom inner corner of the text block throughout; a little worming to the top blank margin of the first 25 leaves; insect damage to the bottom edge extending at most a few millimetres into the wide blank bottom margins; first title leaf dusty and a little soiled; the five missing leaves notwithstanding overall a very presentable copy. The second edition of Claude Mydorge's expanded edition and critique of this popular early work of recreational mathematics first published in 1624 and usually attributed to Jean Leurechon. Each of Leurechon's mathematical problems is reprinted here in roman type with Mydorge's explanatory notes and criticism following in italic. The third part albeit relatively insubstantial only 44 well-illustrated pages is devoted exclusively to fireworks and their construction which probably explains the few missing leaves. The subtitle is: 'Composée d'un receuil de plusieurs plaisantes & recreatives inventions de feux d'artifice plus la maniere de faire toutes sortes de fuzées tant simples que doubles avec leur composition le tout representé par figures sic' Comprising a collection of several pleasant and recreative inventions of fireworks plus the manner of making all sorts of rockets both single and double with their composition all represented in figures.

Otherwise fine and clean. <br/><br/><em>First printings of Babbage's main mathematical contributions."Babbage's major Contribution to mathematics was his calculus of functions which he became interested in as early as 1809 and continued to develop during his years at Cambridge. Babbage presents his major ideas on the subject in the above two papers published in the "Philosophical Transactions" in 1815 and 1816. "It can be said with some assurance that no mathematician prior to Babbage had treated the calculus of functions in such systematic way.Babbage must be given full credit as the inventor of a distinct and importent branch of mathematics" Dubbey 1978 90. Elsewhere Dubby states that his new scheme would serve as a generalized calculus to include all problems capable of analytical formulation and it is possible to see here a hint of the inspiration for his concept of THE ANALYTICAL ENGINE. While the work on the engines and his other scientific social and political activities caused him virtually to abandon mathematical research at the age of thirty the calculus of functions was the area he often yearned to continue. In fact the calculus of functions was not taken up by other workers and it is the aspect of Babbage's mathematical work that modern mathematicians find most fascinating Dubbey 1989 18-19." Hook a. Norman No. 19.Charles Babbage William Herschel and George Peacock founded in 1810 in Cambridge the "Analytical Society" at Trinity College in order to reform the notation and the teaching of mathematics in England introducing Leibniz' differential notation instead of Newton's fluxions. The continental texts and papers then became accessible to English students. </em> unknown
