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.

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).

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.

Dupin is known for it's theorem and for the cyclides of Dupin.
Today, Dupin cylides are used in computer-aided design (CAD), because cyclide patches have rational representations and are suitable for blending canal surfaces (cylinder, cones, tori, and others).
It's in this work that Dupin use for the first time the word "Cyclid" and give the demonstration of their existance and their main properties.
