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.

First edition.

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.

Traité d'Algèbre ou principes généraux pour résoudre les questions de mathématique.

Paris, Estienne Michalet, 1690 [MDCLXC].

1500 €

First edition.
The "Traité d'algèbre" is the most important work of Rolle.
He invented the notation n √ x to the nth root of x, which is still used today.
His most important contribution, however, is the part where he introduced the concept of "cascades". Let the polynomial equation P (x) = 0 with real roots a and b, then built polynmoe P '(x) he calls the first "cascade" as P' (a) = (ba) Q (b) where Q (x) is a polynomial of degree less. Now P '(x) is call the first derivative of P (x).
Rolle then built second cascade, the second derivative, and so forth to find all the roots of the polynomial.

According to our research, there have been several changes during the printing of the "Traité d'Algèbre".
Copie's with the wrong date (MDCLXC) as our copy, then corrected (M.DC.XC).
Copie's with the sheets FF and FFII (pages 223-226) replaced as in our copy by a single sheet Ff (paged 267/266 error).
Our copy is after adding the FF leaf, but before changing the wrong date on title page.
