First edition.
This work is a treatise on optical illusions and anamorphic perspectives, written by Nicéron, a monk of the order of Minims and mathematician of the 17th century. In it, he explores the principles of geometry applied to perspective, in particular the deformations of images that are only correctly revealed from a certain angle or through a mirror.
La Perspective Curieuse is a major work in the history of visual perception and art, influencing both artists and scientists of its time.
The discussion in the fourth part is particularly famous for being the first reference to the law of refraction developed by Descartes that same year.

NEWTON, Isaac.

La Méthode des fluxions et des suites infinies.

Paris, De Bure l'ainé, 1740.

2000 €

First french edition.
Buffon's translation of Method of Fluxions and Infinite Series published a few years earlier. It is one of the last treatises on which Newton worked to explain the method of calculation used in his Principia. The fluxion method is the Newtonian solution of differential calculus problems. It is the counterpart of the method of infinitely small developed by Leibniz.
The fluxion method places Newton among the fathers of infinitesimal calculus.

DEIDIER, (Abbé).

La Mesure des surfaces et des solides, par l'arithmétique des infinis et les centres de gravité.

Paris, Charles-Antoine Jombert, 1740.

750 €

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.

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.

"Monge is regarded as the creator of descriptive geometry, for 'it ws he who elegantly and methodically converted the group of graphical procedures used by practionners into a general uniform technique based on simple an rigorous reasoning and methods ...Monge's systematic use of cylindrical projection and, more discreetly, that of central projection, opened the way to the parallel creation of projective and modern geometry' (DSB). It was primarily through Monge's teachings, both at the ephemeral École de l'an III and the École Polytechnique, that descriptive geometry, analytical geometry and differential geometry were established as special fields".(Norman).
