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).

First edition, first issue with the errata at the verso of page vii.
"Monge is regarded as the creator of descriptive geometry, for 'it ws he who elegantly and methodically converted the group of graphical procedures used by practionners into a general uniform technique based on simple an rigorous reasoning and methods ...Monge's systematic use of cylindrical projection and, more discreetly, that of central projection, opened the way to the parallel creation of projective and modern geometry' (DSB). It was primarily through Monge's teachings, both at the ephemeral École de l'an III and the École Polytechnique, that descriptive geometry, analytical geometry and differential geometry were established as special fields".(Norman).
