First edition.
Chopart will be Vice-Admiral of the French Navy, he will participate in particular in the Algiers expedition in 1830. His book is in line with the tactics of the 18th century sailing navy, but as a former student from polytechnique he constantly uses geometric tools to demonstrate his movements. Beautiful printing on quality paper for this naval tactics book.

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:

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.

"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).
