PASCAL, Blaise.

Oeuvres de Blaise Pascal.

La Haye [Paris], Detune, 1779.

1500 €

First and only old collective edition,
Published by Bossut, this edition is illustrated with a portrait and 14 plates.
Among the unpublished there are many "pensée", writings on Grace, the Treaty of vacuum and and extensive correspondence.
Volumes IV and V contain the scientific works.
We found the second printing of the describing of invention of the computing machine of Descartes (TIV, pages 7-30). The first edition, certainly printed by the author, is unobtainable (only two copies known).
Also of interest here is the reprint of Pascal's 1654 paper introducing his triangle of binominal coefficients (Pascal's Triangle), included in Volume V, pages 1-54. Pascal's invention "predated the concepts of computation of the values of polynomial functions by differences.".

Third edition. Complete of it's 102 plates (we have 103 plates. pl. 48 of P2 in double)
34 plates of volume 2 are watercolored.

This book is one of the most complete and certainly the most beautifully illustrated works of popular science that developed in the late eighteenth century (Ozanam, Nollet, ...).
The first volume deals with mathematics, magnetism, and electricity. The second volume deals with geometry, optics, catoptrics, dioptrics, fire, air and water. The last volume is organized around the following themes: numbers, hand addresses and card tricks.

Nouveaux élémens des sections coniques, les lieux géométriques, la construction, ou effection des équations.

Paris, André Pralard, 1679.

1500 €

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.
