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.

From that date, their exchanges became more frequent and they soon became great friends, exchanging regular scientific correspondence.

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.

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

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.
