Système des animaux sans vertèbres ou tableau général des classes, des ordres et des genres de ces animaux.

First edition.
One of the very first formulations of the concept of evolution of species (transformism), before Darwin's, and presenting as the cause of evolution (Lamarckism) the heredity of acquired characteristics.

It will take more than 50 years for Darwin's work on environmental selection pressure to contradict Lamarck's Speech.

However, we owe Lamarck the introduction in this book of the distinction between Vertebrate and Invertebrate animals, a distinction that we still use in current taxonomy.

Offprint from the Comptes rendus de l'Académie des Sciences..
Short presentation to the Academy of Sciences of the Eiffel laboratory in Auteuil, August 3, 1914. Created on the Champ de Mars at the foot of its tower, Gustave Eiffel's aerodynamics laboratory was moved to Auteuil in 1912. It is still in operation today, operated by the company Aérodynamique Eiffel.
This aerodynamics laboratory was used in particular to test the characteristics of the Farman military biplanes that were used during the First World War.

Niels Henrik Abel (1802-1829) is a Norwegian mathematician. Like Galois at the same time, he died young but left a considerable body of work.
"He is known for his work in mathematical analysis on the semiconvergence of numerical series, sequences and series of functions, on the convergence criteria of generalized integral and on the notion of elliptic integral; in algebra, on the resolution of equations . " (Accromath).

Manuscript of the late eighteenth,early nineteenth century of elementary mathematics.
Well written, it deals with arithmetic (operations on numbers and fractions), divisibility, greatest common divisor, proportion, complex numbers (operations on weight).
We also found it a very interesting chapter on the new measures, conversions francs / pounds and the introduction of the metric system. The definition of the franc corresponds to that of 15 August 1795.

First and only old collective edition,
Published by Bossut, this edition is illustrated with a portrait and 14 plates.
Among the unpublished there are many "pensée", writings on Grace, the Treaty of vacuum and and extensive correspondence.
Volumes IV and V contain the scientific works.
We found the second printing of the describing of invention of the computing machine of Descartes (TIV, pages 7-30). The first edition, certainly printed by the author, is unobtainable (only two copies known).
Also of interest here is the reprint of Pascal's 1654 paper introducing his triangle of binominal coefficients (Pascal's Triangle), included in Volume V, pages 1-54. Pascal's invention "predated the concepts of computation of the values of polynomial functions by differences.".

First edition.
Offprint of this very interesting article on epistemology by Henri Poincaré in which he analyzes the relationship between the mathematical laws of physics and the data of experience: When should one be right in one and wrong in the other?
In this report which was presented to the International Congress of Physics in 1900, Poincaré discusses there in particular at the end of the text the Lorentz equations which make it possible to analyze certain physical facts but not all, which will be decided by Einstein a few years later with his special theory of relativity.
This debate is still an issue for modern physics about dark matter, should we change physical theories or improve our measurement capabilities?.

Songbook for the Ombres a Polytechnique evening in 1902

"Les Ombres" is a traditional performance by the École Polytechnique, the first edition of which was given in 1818. It involved the projection of satirical chineese shadows onto scenes from the life of the school and its teachers. Each projection was accompanied by a song, most often irreverent, written and sung by the students.

The Parisian group of the École Polytechnique was created in 1895 but still remains in activity today under the acronym GPX, it aims to "maintain and strengthen the bonds of camaraderie between the members of the polytechnic community. that organizing most of its events in the Paris region, the GPX welcomes all polytechnicians, regardless of their place of residence, as well as members of their family and close friends. " (site of the AX).
