First french edition. (with label of presses universitaires de france. 1947 on the title page)
John von Neumann (1903-1957) was an American mathematician and physicist of Hungarian origin. He made major contributions to theoretical computer science, game theory, and quantum mechanics. The work lays the rigorous mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics using operator theory in Hilbert spaces and had a fundamental impact on the development of modern physics.

First edition.
Vito Volterra (1860-1940) was a world-renowned Italian mathematician and physicist, a member of the Institute and professor at the University of Rome. His Leçons sur la Théorie Mathématique de la Lutte pour la Vie (Lectures on the Mathematical Theory of the Struggle for Life), edited by Marcel Brelot and published in the "Cahiers Scientifiques" collection directed by Gaston Julia, is a pioneering work in biomathematics. Volterra is considered one of the founders of the mathematical study of biological interactions, particularly predator-prey relationships and population dynamics. This book presents his famous differential equations (Lotka-Volterra equations), which model these interactions. It is a seminal work at the intersection of mathematics and biology.

Maurice Vignaux (1846-1916), French billiards champion and emblematic figure of the sport, is the author of this technical treatise. The work Le Billard (Billiards) is a reference manual that explains the theoretical foundations and playing techniques, including geometry and mechanics concepts applied to billiards. It is aimed at both novice and advanced players, with illustrations of complex shots and game rules. The work, prefaced by Desnar, is a valuable historical source for studying the history of billiards and its evolution as a precision sport in the 19th century.

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.

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.

Charles Sturm (1803-1855) was a French mathematician of Swiss origin, a member of the Institute, famous for his work on the theory of equations. His Cours d'analyse de l'École Polytechnique (Course in Analysis of the École Polytechnique) is a fundamental textbook that influenced the teaching of mathematical analysis in France in the 19th century. Volume Two, revised and corrected by E. Prouhet and followed by the elementary theory of elliptic functions by M. H. Laurent, shows the evolution of curricula and the integration of advanced topics into the École Polytechnique's program. Sturm's lectures were renowned for their rigor and clarity, influencing generations of mathematicians.
