COURNOT, Augustin.

Recherches sur les principes mathématiques de la théorie des richesses.

Paris, L. Hachette, 1838.

12500 €

First edition.
Landmark in economic theory.
Cournot is considered a pioneer in mathematical economics. He was among the first to formalize economic theories using mathematical equations.
He proposed basing economic theory not on elementary algebra but on the branch of analysis dealing with arbitrary functions, subject to certain conditions.
His work focused on a theory of price equilibrium in a free market.
Though largely ignored in his time, his research on equilibria between two producers, now known as "Cournot equilibria," would later be generalized under the term "Nash equilibria" or "Nash-Cournot equilibria," earning John Forbes Nash the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994.

Cournot's work is bound after the following:

First collective edition of the works of François Viète.
François Viète, a 16th-century French mathematician born in Fontenay-le-Comte in 1540 and died in Paris in 1603, is often hailed as the father of modern algebra.
Indeed, Viète was one of the first mathematicians in Europe to note the parameters of an equation using symbols. His innovative approach and contribution to algebraic notation was particularly influential and opened new ways for solving mathematical problems. In recognition of his contributions, Viète is widely considered one of the greatest mathematicians of his time and his legacy endures in the field of modern mathematics to this day.
This first collective edition features sixteen of Viète's works, including his seminal 'Isagoge in artem analyticam', which introduced his innovative algebraic notation.

GALOIS, Évariste.

Oeuvres mathématiques d'Évariste Galois. In Journal de Mathématiques pures et appliquées ou Recueil mensuel de mémoires sur les diverses parties des mathématiques, Année 1846, Tome XI.

Paris, Bachelier, 1846.

6500 €

First edition of collected mathematical works of Evariste Galois given by Liouville in this volume of the Journal de Mathématiques pures et appliquées .

A brilliant mathematician, misunderstood in his day and with a tragic fate (he died at the age of 20 in a gallant duel), Galois created the notion of group, and his work has inspired generations of mathematicians.
A brilliant student, he was misunderstood by his contemporaries. Poisson rejected the work he wanted to present to the Paris Academy of Sciences.
In 1832, on the eve of his fatal duel, Galois wrote his mathematical will, which he entrusted to a friend.
It was not until 1846 that Liouville published them in this volume of the Journal des mathématiques, and not until 1870 that Jordan recognized their importance.

"When, yielding to the wish of Evariste's friends, I gave myself up, as it were under the eyes of his brother, to the attentive study of all the printed or manuscript pieces he left behind, I therefore thought I had to propose as my sole aim to seek out, to unravel, to then bring out as best I could, what was new in these productions.

My zeal was soon rewarded, and I was delighted when, after filling in a few small gaps, I recognized the complete accuracy of the method by which Galois proves, in particular, this beautiful theorem: For an irreducible equation of prime degree to be solvable by radicals, it is necessary and sufficient that all the roots be rational functions of any two of them.
This method, truly worthy of the attention of geometers, would alone suffice to secure our compatriot a place among the small number of scientists who have earned the title of inventor." (Liouville p.382).

SAVARY, Jacques.

Le Parfait Négociant ou instruction générale pour ce qui regarde le commerce.

Paris, Jean Guignard, 1675.

More Details >

3500 €

First edition.
A famous merchant born in 1622 in Doué (Anjou) from a noble family, Savary became a wealthy merchant and retired from business at the age of 36. He was chosen by Colbert to be one of the writers of the commercial code of 1673 which was called "Code Savary". He wrote in 1675 the "Perfect trader" which is the compilation of the knowledge he had gathered for the drafting of the ordinance. The legal solutions are clear, sensible, practical, honest. The book is a business bible whose importance Max Weber underlined. This work became a classic, reprinted many times and translated into German, English and Italian.

MACLAURIN, Colin.

Traité des fluxions.

Paris, Charles-Antoine Jombert, 1749.

3000 €

First edition of the most important work of Milliet Dechalles.
Complete Mathematics course, which also covers other topics sciences (mechanical, architecture, optics, perspective, astronomy, ..).

NEWTON, Isaac.

La Méthode des fluxions et des suites infinies.

Paris, De Bure l'ainé, 1740.

More Details >

2500 €

First french edition.
Buffon's translation of Method of Fluxions and Infinite Series published a few years earlier. It is one of the last treatises on which Newton worked to explain the method of calculation used in his Principia. The fluxion method is the Newtonian solution of differential calculus problems. It is the counterpart of the method of infinitely small developed by Leibniz.
The fluxion method places Newton among the fathers of infinitesimal calculus.

PASCAL, Blaise.

Oeuvres de Blaise Pascal.

La Haye [Paris], Detune, 1779.

The first and sole ancient collective edition, partially original.

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.
Philippe de La Hire (1640-1718) is a French mathematician, he is the successor of Desargues and Pascal in the geometry of conics, in that he deduces the properties of conics from the properties of the circle.
La Hire innovates compared to his two predecessors, in that he exploits to the maximum the properties of invariance of harmonic division, which allows him to reason almost exclusively in the plane (and not in space).
This approach leads him to develop the notions of poles and polars, homology, orthoptic locus, etc.

"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).

First edition.
Paul Lévy (1886-1971) French mathematician is among the founders of modern probability theory. We also owe him important considerations on the stable stochastic laws which bear his name as well as on martingales. In 1920, he was appointed professor of analysis at the École Polytechnique and on this occasion discovered the discipline that would leave his mark the most: the calculation of probabilities. It can be said that most of the essential concepts of probability theory derive from him.
