POINCARE, Henri. 

Sur les Rapports de la physique expérimentale et de la physique mathématique. 

Paris, Gauthier-Villars, 1900.
More Details >
600 €

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?.

PASCAL, Blaise. 

Oeuvres de Blaise Pascal. 

La Haye [Paris], Detune, 1779.

2500 €

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Among the unpublished there are many "pensée", writings on Grace, the Treaty of vacuum and and extensive correspondence.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.".

Philosophical dissertation around the game, its dangers and its abuses all the moral, economic and social facets related to the practice of games are discussed.

First edition, posthumoustly published of this work. This is an introduction to algebra and geometry based on Varignon's courses given at the College Mazarin.
Varignon (1654-1722), member of the Académie des Sciences and one of the outstanding scientist of his time, was an intimate friend of Newton, Leibniz, and Bernoullis. He demonstrated the principle of the parallelogram of forces simultaneously with and independently of Newton. He was the first French scientist of note to advocate the new differential calculus.

First edition.
"Clermont" wrote on the title page, like other copies of these edition.
Clermont, artilleryman and military engineer, dedicated his geometry book to Vauban. We understand this dedication on reading the eighth part of the book, which is entirely dedicated to the construction of fortresses. Vauban then supervised in France the construction of dozens of fortifications with clearly recognizable models.
Clermont explains to us the geometry allowing us to trace the famous Vauban fortresses.

2000 €

First french edition.
Buffon's translation of Method of Fluxions and Infinite Series published a few years earlier.

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).

Rare mathematical work from Privat de Molières, a resale from the first edition with only a new title page and the cartons described in the collation.
