1638110770Paris: Chez Rolet Boutonné 1638. 2nd Edition. Hardcover. Paris Chez Rolet Boutonné 1638 second edition/ 1630. Octavo 170 × 105 mm four parts bound as one volume xvi 280; 64 last blank; 63-106 12 index last three blank; and 39 1 blank pages with woodcut printer's devices on the four title pages and 84 illustrations throughout approximately 80 woodcut illustrations and a few type-set diagrams. There are five leaves missing from the 'Troisième Partie' F4 F5 G1 G4 and G5: pages 85-90 95-96 and 101-104. 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. This third part together with the second made its first appearance in a 1628 edition of 'Récréations Mathématiques' published by Charles Osmont at Rouen. Their authorship has not been established HEEFER Albrecht: 'Récréations Mathématiques 1624 A Study on its Authorship Sources and Influence' revised 7 October 2004. <p>The fourth part 'Nottes sic sur les Recreations .' is by D.H.P.E.M. Denis Henrion Professeur ès Mathématiques. <p>Claude Mydorge 1585-1647 French mathematician was a friend of René Descartes with whom he shared a strong interest in optics and the nature of vision. 'Mydorge's first major work was the "Examen du livre des Récréations mathématiques" published in 1630. As the title suggests it was a work on recreational mathematics and was effectively a critique of Laurechon's sic book on the theme 'Récréations mathématiques' by the French Jesuit Jean Leurechon writing under the pen name of van Etten first appeared in 1624. However it was through his work on conic sections that Mydorge made the greatest scientific impact' The Cambridge Descartes Lexicon online. <p>Provenance: a 1713 signature on the first page; an early ownership inscription 'Michael Hutchins His Book' on a preliminary page; 'G.S. Kingston Sept 1834' on the front pastedown: Sir George Strickland Kingston 1807-1880 the South Australian pioneer engineer and politician deputy-surveyor-general under Colonel William Light co-discoverer of the River Torrens first Speaker in the House of Assembly.

114736Western Safavid Persia possibly Tabriz dated 1086 AH c. 1675 AD. . Single volume decorated manuscript on paper in Arabic 180 leaves 172 x 100 mm; single column mostly 17 lines per page informal naskh freehand sometimes verging on shekasteh script important sections and headings in red numerous tables grids and diagrams throughout the text some contemporary annotations to margins catch-words outer margins of first leaf replaced overall clean and crisp internal condition late eighteenth-century leather-backed marbled boards edges a little rubbed.<br /> An interesting treatise on mathematics with a particular focus on multiplication and division in algebra and arithematic likely adapted from Nasir al-Din Tusi's Kitab ad-darb wa'l-qisma fi 'ilm al-jabr wa al-hisab compiled in the thirteenth century.<br /><br />This codex was evidently copied in a few different hands and over a period of time with contemporary annotations to the margin; this suggests that the codex was intended for study in a 'madrasa' setting and used by piers for reference. Furthermore the combined Ottoman and Persian stylistic influences on the script suggest copying in Tabriz in the seventeenth century shortly after the area was recaptured by the Safavids after 18 years of Ottoman rule.<br /> Western Safavid Persia, possibly Tabriz, dated 1086 (?) AH (c. 1675 AD). hardcover

188814319Braunschweig: Vieweg 1888. WITH: O. Fischer Matyas Lerch E. Phragmen C. Neumann C. Meray. 1. DEDEKIND Richard <br /> <br /> Was sind und was sollen die Zahlen. 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
