Adrien-Marie Legendre's (1752-1833) Elements of Geometry is one of the most influential geometry textbooks of the 19th century, both in France and abroad. First published in 1794, it aimed to replace Euclid's Elements with a more didactic approach, while retaining axiomatic rigor. This 1862 edition, with additions and modifications by A. Blanchet, testifies to the longevity and adaptation of Legendre's work to successive school curricula. The introduction to this work is authorized by decision of the Ministry of Public Instruction, emphasizing its status as an official reference work.

Henri Lebesgue (1875-1941), a member of the Institute and professor at the Collège de France and the École Normale Supérieure de Sèvres, is primarily known for his integration theory. However, his work Les Coniques (Conics), prefaced by Paul Montel, demonstrates his interest in more classical geometry topics. Conics (circles, ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas) are fundamental curves in mathematics and have important applications in physics (planetary trajectories, optics).

Edmond A. Brun (1898-1996) was a renowned French physicist and aerodynamicist, a member of the Académie des Sciences. His work Introduction à l'Étude de la Couche Limite (Introduction to the Study of the Boundary Layer) is an essential textbook on this fundamental concept in fluid mechanics, particularly important in aerodynamics and heat transfer. Boundary layer theory, developed by Ludwig Prandtl, describes the thin fluid region near a surface where viscous effects are significant. This book is a key didactic text for students and engineers working in the fields of aeronautics and thermal engineering.

Maurice Fréchet (1878-1973), is a French mathematician. A prolific mathematician, he worked, among other things, in topology, probability theory and statistics. In 1906, he introduced metric spaces and identified the first notions of topology by seeking to formalize in abstract terms the work of Volterra, Arzelà, Hadamard and Cantor. It introduces the notions of filter, uniform convergence, compact convergence and equicontinuity.

First edition. Complete with the errata leaf.
First publication of Pascal's work on magic squares.
The work, which would be called Géométrie de Port Royal, was born from the meeting of Antoine Arnauld with Pascal, and their friendly rivalry to make Euclid's geometry more understandable and to compose a manual for use in the Petites écoles.
Pascal conceded that Arnauld's project was better than his, and destroyed his preparatory manuscript. Of Pascal's geometry, all that remains is his solution to magic squares, which Arnauld would place in the appendix of his own work.
The teaching of mathematics in France was lastingly affected and, until Legendre, almost all authors of geometry manuals adopted the views of Port-Royal.
The second state of sheet 251-252, and the rare errata sheet are as described by Dominique Descotes and testify to the modifications made by Arnauld during printing.

Nevertheless, although nothing is known of his life, he seems to have been introduced to mathematics, for he published in 1626, a treatise on arithmetic.
