Joseph Privat de Molières (1676-1742), french physician and mathematician, raised to the rank of associé in the Academy in 1729 and became fellow of the Royal Society of London in the same year.
A major figure in the protracted struggle against the importation of Newtonian science into France, Privat de Molières devoted his career to developing and improving Cartesian physics.
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.

Manuscript of the late eighteenth,early nineteenth century of elementary mathematics.
Well written, it deals with arithmetic (operations on numbers and fractions), divisibility, greatest common divisor, proportion, complex numbers (operations on weight).
We also found it a very interesting chapter on the new measures, conversions francs / pounds and the introduction of the metric system. The definition of the franc corresponds to that of 15 August 1795.

Eighteenth-century course of analysis, of a very readable writing.

Definitions, theorems, corollaries are numbered. Our volume starting at number 206, there was certainly written a first volume.
Our volume deals with the problems of the first degree with an unknown, the extraction of the roots, the substitution, with many problems and their solutions. Then are treated problems of two unknowns and first degree, the solidity of the sphere.

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.
