François Arago (1786-1853), permanent secretary of the Academy of Sciences, was a leading French physicist, astronomer, and politician. This biography of Gaspard Monge (1746-1818), founder of descriptive geometry, is a tribute to one of the major figures of the French Revolution and 18th-century science. Monge's work, a former member of the Academy, is highlighted by Arago, who himself contributed to the advancement of science.

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.

Application de l'analyse à la géométrie.

Paris, Bachelier, 1850.

Sold

The first edition appeared in 1795 under the title 'Feuilles d'analyse appliquée à la géométrie'. In this work, Monge "assembled, along with general considerations regarding the theory of surfaces and the geometric interpretation of partial differential equations, monographs on about twenty families of surfaces defined by their mode of generation." (DSB [IX p. 476]).
In 1802, working with Hachette, he prepared a brief exposition, of analytic geometry that was designed to replace, the few remarks on the subject contained in the Feuilles. Entitled 'Application de l’algèbre à l’analyse', it was published separately in 1805; in 1807 edition and also for the fourth 1809 edition, it became, the first part of the final version of 'Feuilles d’analyse', now entitled 'Application de l'Analyse à la Géométrie.'
It's an, important work, in which, "The authors show that every plane section of a second degree surface is a second degree curve, and that parallel planes cut out similar and similarly placed curves. These results parallel Archimedes' geometric theorems. The authors also show that the hyperboloid of one sheet and the hyperbolic paraboloid are ruled surfaces, that is, each can be generated in two different ways by the motion of a line or each surfiace is formed by two systems of lines. The result on the one-sheeted hyperboloid was known by 1669 to Christopher Wren, who said that this figure could be Senerated by revolving a line about another not in the same plane. With the work of Euler, Lagrange, and Monge, analytic geometry became an independent and full-fledged branch of mathematics." (Kline in. Mathematical ... p. 547).

Fifth edition augmented by Joseph Liouville, who added substantial notes, as well as a translation of Carl Friedrich Gauss's key memoir (Disquisitiones generales circa superficies curvas, 1827) on the general theory of curved surfaces.

Jean-Baptiste-Estienne Du Bourguet (1767-1845) was a French mathematician and naval officer. He was a professor of mathematics at the Lycée Impérial. This work is a manual on differential and integral calculus, notable for its pedagogical approach that seeks to bypass notions of limits and infinitesimals for beginners, focusing instead on practical applications in science.

First edition.
Vito Volterra (1860-1940) was a world-renowned Italian mathematician and physicist, a member of the Institute and professor at the University of Rome. His Leçons sur la Théorie Mathématique de la Lutte pour la Vie (Lectures on the Mathematical Theory of the Struggle for Life), edited by Marcel Brelot and published in the "Cahiers Scientifiques" collection directed by Gaston Julia, is a pioneering work in biomathematics. Volterra is considered one of the founders of the mathematical study of biological interactions, particularly predator-prey relationships and population dynamics. This book presents his famous differential equations (Lotka-Volterra equations), which model these interactions. It is a seminal work at the intersection of mathematics and biology.

Henri Poincaré (1854-1912) was a French mathematician, physicist, philosopher of science, and engineer, considered one of the last "universal scholars." His work spanned many fields. This work is a philosophical reflection on the nature of mathematics and geometry, in which he explores the fundamental concepts of space and the foundations of non-Euclidean geometries.
