950 €

First edition of the two books of the mathematical works of Dupin.
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).

And a Fourier paper on insurances.
There are also articles by Breguet (precision of a tourbillon chronometer and astronomical measuring tool, the plate illustrating this invention is missing), Pelletier (discovery of strychnine).

First edition.
Emile Dormoy, a Polytechnique and mining engineer, will manage the Soleil-Vie insurance company.
He leaves us this important treatise on mathematics for the use of actuaries in which he notably devotes a chapter to the Theory of deviations.
He describes there before Wilhelm Lexis what will be known as the "Lexis Ratio".
The law of deviations subsequently developed by Bachelier will be one of the bases of financial mathematics.

First edition.
Work which is inspired by Wallis' method of measuring surfaces by the arithmetic of infinities which has the advantage according to Deidier of using simple algebra. Deidier found the algebra of integral calculus too abstract. Deidier's works ensured him a distinguished place among the mathematicians of his time.

Presentation copy to Henri Brocard.

Henri Brocard (1845-1922), polytechnician and officer, engineering commander, he is best known for his work on the modern geometry of the triangle with Émile Lemoine and Joseph Neuberg in the 1870s-1880s. We owe him the construction of Brocard's point, circle, line and angle which have particular properties.

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 edition.
"Clermont" wrote on the title page, like other copies of these edition.
Clermont, artilleryman and military engineer, dedicated his geometry book to Vauban. We understand this dedication on reading the eighth part of the book, which is entirely dedicated to the construction of fortresses. Vauban then supervised in France the construction of dozens of fortifications with clearly recognizable models.
Clermont explains to us the geometry allowing us to trace the famous Vauban fortresses.
