Hohere Algebra. Manuscript transcription of Konigsberger's lectures.

Konigsberger, Leo.

 

Description :

Königsberger, Leo (1837-1921). Höhere Algebra. Akademische Vorträge . . . W: 1891 1892 S. Bound manuscript, written in a neat German hand. Title (in black letter) and 735 numbered pages. N.p. [Heidelberg], ca. 1892. 206 x 164 mm. Half morocco, mottled boards c. 1892, light wear, one corner bumped. A few pencil annotations in the margins. Ownership signature of "Heinrich H[illeg.], stud. math., Heidelberg" on the verso of the front free endpaper.A unique record of the academic work of Königsberger, one of the most famous mathematicians of his time. Königsberger spent most of his career at the University of Heidelberg, where he taught mathematics from 1869 to 1875 and again from 1884 until his retirement in 1914. He contributed to several fields of mathematics, most notably analysis and analytical mechanics. "Königsberger . . . was extremely skillful in treating material from the Riemannian point of view, as can be seen from his textbooks on elliptic functions (1874) and hyperelliptic integrals (1878). In addition he worked intensively on the theory of differential equations. This subject, which grew out of function theory, is associated especially with Lazarus Fuchs, with whom Königsberger was friendly during his youth. Königsberger was the first to treat not merely one differential equation, but an entire system of such equations in complex variables (DSB)."While at Heidelberg Königsberger became close friends with the chemist Robert Bunsen and physicists Hermann Helmholtz and Gustav Kirchhoff; these contacts provided him with the stimulation for his series of works on the differential equations of analytical mechanics. He also published some notable historic works, including an account of his teacher Weierstrass's first lecture on elliptic functions (1917) and a biography of Helmholtz (1902).The present manuscript is a transcription of Königsberger's lectures on higher algebra given at Heidelberg during the academic year 1891-92; it was most likely prepared by the mathematics student who inscribed his name in the volume. The lectures were not published, and we can find no record of any similar manuscript transcriptions in either OCLC or the Karlsruhe database. Dictionary of Scientific Biography.

Ephemera] Box containing 94 unusual illustrated arithmetic cards

Description :

A most unusual collection of 94 arithmetic cards, the overwhelming majority of which also feature a charming vignette, two or three of a piece of turn-of-the-century material culture, garment or young woman. The cards were created as math drills or exercises by the publisher, Thomas Laurie of Edinburgh, which specialized in educational material and textbooks, and as with most ephemera, the sweet imagery and charm of the material probably did not excite its initial users in the least, who would have regarded these cards as entirely an utilitarian learning tool. Their indifference, of course, doomed most of the sets of these cards to the dustbin and thus what we have now is surely very scarce. While it is likely there were a few additional cards, based on the size of the box the cards came in, this set is close to full, and one will not have a sense of incompleteness with these cards, which are plentiful. The cards today should be valued for their decorativeness, for being a relic and survivor from an earlier educational era, and for their rareness. The cube-shaped box housing them is itself substantial and an object of beauty and interest. The box is close to 12 inches on each side, and the top lid is now hinged, although it was originally not so. (The hinges are themselves obviously old.) To open the box one pulls out a narrow pinned board, and this too should delight. As to dating, there is no date given, but based on the illustrations, circa 1910. The labels on the inside lid would suggest an earlier date, but these labels may predate the set of cards housed in the box. The cards themselves are generally 6.5 by 4.5 inches, or 16 by 12 cm, and each has the text and illustration, both on a slab of what looks almost like paper mache, mounted onto wood board. The "paper mache", or whatever the material is, has some light soiling here and there, heavier on a few cards, with most being lightly touched. N° de réf. du libraire 002190

Titre : Theory of Games and Economic Behavior.

Éditeur : Princeton University Press, Princeton

Date d'édition : 1944

Edition : First edition, first printing


Description :

A very good copy, with the rare dust jacket, of Von Neumann and Morgenstern’s groundbreaking text that created the interdisciplinary research field of game theory. "Quantitative mathematical models for games as poker or bridge at one time appeared impossible, since games like these involve free choices by the players at each move, and each move reacts to moves of other players. However, in the 1920s John von Neumann single-handedly invented game theory, introducing the general mathematical concept of ‘strategy’ in a paper on games of chance [Zur Theorie der Gesellschaftsspiele, Math. Ann. 100, 1928]. This contained the proof of his ‘minimax’ theorem that says ‘a strategy exists that guarantees, for each player, a maximum payoff assuming that the adversary acts so as to minimize that payoff.’ The ‘minimax’ principle, a key component of the game-playing computer programs developed in the 1950s and 1960s by Samuel, Newell, Simon, and others, was more fully articulated and explored in ‘The Theory of Games and Economic Behavior’, co-authored by von Neumann and the Austrian economist Oskar Morgenstern. Game theory, which draws upon mathematical logic, set theory and functional analysis, attempts to describe in mathematical terms the decision-making strategies used in games and other competitive situations. Von Neumann revolutionized mathematical economics. Had he not suffered an early death from cancer in 1957, he most probably would have received the Noble Prize in economics. Several mathematical economists influenced by von Neumann’s ideas [as Nash, Harsanyi and Selten] later received the Nobel Prize in Economics". (Hook & Norman: Origins of Cyberspace, p.473).OOC 953 [lacking jacket]; Norman 2167. 8vo: 234 x 155 mm. Original cloth.

LIVRE : Mathematicae Collectiones. PAPPUS, of Alexandria.

 

Mathematicae Collectiones.

PAPPUS, of Alexandria.

Description :

Ed. by Federico Commandino. Numerous woodcut illus. & diagrams in the text. 4 p.l. (the last a blank), 334 (i.e., 332) pp. Folio, cont. limp vellum (title a bit soiled, last two leaves with some light dampstaining), ties gone. Pesaro: H. Concordia, 1588.First edition and a very fine and fresh copy of this uncommon book; this edition, providing the complete extant text, was the final work to be edited by Commandino and completes his life's work of reviving Renaissance mathematics by making available the best mathematical writings of antiquity. "In the silver age of Greek mathematics Pappus stands out as an accomplished and versatile geometer. His treatise known as the Synagoge or Collection is a chief, and sometimes the only, source for our knowledge of his predecessors' achievements. The Collection is in eight books, perhaps originally in twelve, of which the first and part of the second are missing. "Book VII is the most fascinating in the whole Collection, not merely by its intrinsic interest and by what it preserves of earlier writers but by its influence on modern mathematics."D.S.B., X, p. 293-95(and see pp. 294-98 for a full discussion of the contents). This concerns, in a passage on Apollonius' Conics, the attempt to conceive of the product of more than three straight lines as geometrical entities, known as "Pappus' Problem." Descartes devoted a major part of his own Géométrie to this, and solved it by the use of algebraic notation. "Pappus' problem thus inspired the new method of analytical geometry that has proved such a powerful tool in subsequent centuries. In his Principia (1687) Newton also found inspiration in Pappus; he proved in a purely geometrical manner that the locus with respect to four lines is a conic section, which may degenerate into a circle."D.S.B., X, p. 296. Topics discussed in the other books include astronomy and mechanics. A very fine copy preserved in a green morocco-backed box. Rose, The Italian Renaissance of Mathematics, p. 214"Within 25 years of Commandino's death the first step in founding the mechanics of the seventeenth century was to be taken by Galileo when, in criticising the inclined plane theorem of Pappus, the Tuscan mathematician adumbrated the notion of inertia. This step was not taken in an intellectual vacuum, but represents the culmination of the mathematical renaissance that had been achieved by the Restauratores."(& see the whole of Chap. 9 for Commandino and this book).

MERSENNE, Marin.

 

Description :

Numerous woodcuts in the text. Five parts in one vol. Large thick 4to, cont. blind-stamped vellum, arabesque device in center of each cover. Paris: A. Bertier, 1644. [bound with]: --. Universae Geometriae, Mixtaeque Mathematicae Synopsis: et Bini Refractionum Demonstratarum Tractatus. 16 p.l., 589 pp. Large 4to. Paris: A. Bertier, 1644.First editions and very rare in such fine condition. These two works are important compendia of texts by Mersenne, including several of his most important works on mathematics, optics, physics, and music. The Universae Geometriae is considered to be a supplement to the Cogitata and they are oftentimes found bound together. "This collection comprises De Mensuris, Ponderibus & Nummis Hebraicis, Graecis & Romanis ad Gallica redactis, Hydraulica Pneumatica; arsque navigandi. Harmonia Theorica, Practica, et Mechanica phaenomena; F. Marini Mersenni Minimi Tractatus Mechanicus Theoricus et Practicus; his.Ballistica, et Acontismologia and Universae Geometriae, Mixtaeqve Mathematicae Synopsis, et Bini Refractionvm. "Mersenne's parallel discussions of light and vision run throughout the Cogita and the Universae geometriae. His close English connections are revealed by the inclusion in the optical section of Universae Geometriae of unpublished work by Walter Warner and a version of Hobbes' treatise on optics."Roberts & Trent, Bibliotheca Mechanica, p. 223. The preface to the Cogitata contains the first appearance of his famous statement about perfect numbers, known as "Mersenne's Numbers." The search for Mersenne numbers -- prime numbers -- that occur in decreasing frequency the higher they are is still ongoing, with huge computations utilizing the full capacity of the most advanced computers. Prime numbers, once regarded as numerological oddities, are now of crucial importance for encrypted electronic communication. See Ball, A Short Account of the History of Mathematics, pp. 306-07. "An exceedingly interesting collection.Mersenne was in constant correspondence with all the most celebrated men of his time, namely Galileo, Torricelli, Pascal, Descartes, Fermat, Roberval, &c. and in this collection has published, besides his own writings, most important works and letters of his eminent friends not to be found elsewhere, and including, not only their discoveries, but also their scientific quarrels.these volumes [are] highly important for the history of science."Libri sale catalogue, 1861. The Cogitata is illustrated with numerous woodcuts showing musical instruments, music, and geometrical diagrams. Fine copies, handsomely bound. With the armorial bookplate of John Stuart, third Earl of Bute (1713-92). Bute formed a magnificent scientific library (see D.N.B.). Book label of Harrison D. Horblit. Ex libris Bibliotheca Mechanica. Very occasionally another much slighter work by Mersenne -- his Novarum Observtionum Physico-Mathematicarum (1647) -- is bound-in following the Universae Geometriae. It is not present here. Mottelay, p. 122. N° de réf. du libraire JHABES315

Elementa Geometriae EUCLIDES.

Description :

[:in Greek]. Woodcut printer's device on title & verso of final leaf, first page of text with a woodcut decorative border, & numerous woodcut diagrams in the text. 6 p.l., 268; 115, [1] pp. Folio, 18th cent. mottled calf (upper blank margin of title -- 2.7 cm -- renewed & title carefully backed at an early date), double gilt fillet round sides, spine richly gilt, red morocco lettering piece on spine. Basel: J. Herwagen, 1533.Editio princeps in Greek of Euclid's Elements, one of the great books in the history of the exact sciences. This is also the first Euclid to have the diagrams inset in the text. The Greek text was edited by Simon Grynaeus, professor of Greek at Basel University. Grynaeus used two manuscripts -- one sent by Lazarus Bayfius from Venice and the other supplied by John Claymond, president of Magdalen and later of Corpus Christi College, Oxford. The Elements occupy 268 pages, followed by 115 pages containing the four books of the commentary of Proclus on the first book of the Elements. This commentary "is of considerable value for the study of ancient Greek geometry because of the historical information which it contains, derived from the lost works of Eudemos.and Geminos."Sarton, I, p. 403. Grynaeus dedicated this edition to Cuthbert Tunstall, Bishop of Durham and the author of the first English arithmetic. A fine crisp copy. Thomas-Stanford 7. N° de réf. du libraire JHABES958

Le génie mathématique, du théorème de quatre couleurs à la classification des groupes

le 12 février 2013
de 15h45 à 17h00

Conférence de Georges Gonthier (Microsoft Research, Cambridge). Départements de mathématiques et d'informatique (Ker Lann), Formation à la recherche.

Résumé: Il y a trente ans les ordinateurs faisaient irruption dans les mathématiques avec la célèbre preuve du théorème des quatre couleurs par Appel et Haken. Au départ limité au simple calcul, leur rôle s'élargit maintenant à des raisonnements dont la complexité dépasse les capacités de la plupart des humains, comme la preuve de la classification des groupes simples finis. Nous venons d'en formaliser la première étape importante, le théorème de Feit-Thompson, à l'aide d'un éventail de méthodes et techniques qui vont de la logique formelle au génie logiciel. 

Biographie: Georges Gonthier est chercheur au laboratoire de Cambridge de Microsoft Research, après avoir été à Inria et aux Bell Labs. Ses travaux vont des systèmes embarqués (langage Estérel, fusée Ariane) aux modèles de la concurrence et de la sécurité (Join-Calcul). Après avoir formalisé la preuve du théorème des quatre couleurs en 2005, il a créé l'équipe du laboratoire Microsoft Research - Inria qui vient de compléter la formalisation du théorème de Feit-Thompson. Il a reçu en 2011 le Grand Prix d'informatique de la Fondation EADS.

Résumé : 
Dans cet exposé, nous donnerons une extension du principe du maximum de Pontryagin dans le cas de certains systèmes de dimension infinie.
La première partie de l'expose sera dédiée a l'extension du principe du maximum de Pontryagin et à la mise en evidence du caractère bang-bang et de l'unicité du contrôle en temps optimal. Pour cela, nous ferons une hypothèse supplémentaire de contrôlabilité approchée à partir d'un ensemble de mesure positive.
La deuxième partie de l'exposé concernera certains exemples d'applications de ces résultats.

Date d'édition : 1759

Description :

2 volumes in-4 [256 x 190 mm] de (4), XXXIX, (5), 437 pp., 9 planches h.-t. / (4), 180, 297, (2) pp., 5 planches. Veau glacé, dos à nerfs orné, étiquette de titre rouge et de tomaison verte, encadrements dorés sur les plats, tranches rouges. (Reliure de l'époque.) Première édition française de cette traduction annotée des "Principia" de Newton. Exemplaire avec l' "Avertissement" en premier état. (Les bandeaux sont différents et le texte a été recomposé par la suite, avec quelques modifications). Il existe de très rares exemplaires portant la date de 1756. Mais d'après Chambat et Varry, il est possible qu'une partie de l’ouvrage a été imprimée entre 1746 et 1747 et que les feuillets ont été conservés jusque vers 1756, date à laquelle avait été prévue la distribution. Cette sortie a ensuite été retardée à 1759 par la pertes de planches et le travail de Clairaut et peut-être d’autres raisons inconnues. "Une distribution en petit nombre, comme le pense Cohen, a-t-elle eu lieu en 1756 ? rien ne l’atteste. Peut-on être sûr que les exemplaires datés 1756 ne soient pas simplement des erreurs d’assemblage des imprimeurs ou des oublis de remplacement des feuillets qu’il fallait faire en 1759 ?" Frédéric Chambat & Dominique Varry, Faut-il faire une description bibliographique des Principes mathématiques ?, Centre international d’étude du xviiie siècle. Emilie du Châtelet, amie intime de Voltaire, a par cet ouvrage largement contribué à la diffusion des idées newtoniennes en France. "On trouvera souvent Newton plus intelligible dans cette traduction que dans l'original & même que dans la traduction anglaise." (Avertissement) "Known throughout intellectual Europe as Emilie, the name popularized by Voltaire, Mme du Châtelet - beyond the influence she had for some fifteen years on the orientation of Voltaire's works and on his public activity - contributed to the vitality of French scientific life to the parallel diffusion of Newtonianism and Leibnizian epistemology. Her affairs entertained the faishionable world of her period, yet her last moments revealed the sincerity of her scientific vocation. Although she limited her efforts to commentary and synthesis, her work contributed to the great progress made by Newtonian science in the middle of the eighteenth century." DSB, 3, 215- 217. Mors et coiffes très soigneusement restaurées. Bel exemplaire. // Plus de photos sur latude.net // First and sole French translation of Newton's "Principia". Copy with the "Avertissement in first state (headpiece is different, with small differences in text). Some very rare copies are known with the date of 1756, but according to last the researches, it seems that the book was partly printed between 1746 and 1747 and only released in 1759. // More picture on latude.net.

Reliure : Hardcover

Etat de la jaquette : Dust Jacket Included

Description :

, 515pp., very good gray cloth, slight wear, partial dust-jacket laid in, previous owner's name stamp on front endpaper, Volume Three of Course of Theoretical Physics. - Lev Davidovich Landau (1908-1968) was the mercurial genius behind the Course of Theoretical Physics; Evgenii Mikhailovich Lifshitz 1915-1985 was the industrious co-author who also poured his own work into the editions. The Landau and Lifshitz "Course" became an international standard but did not emerge from the ether. There was no theoretical school of physics in Russia after the revolution, but Paul Ehrenfest (who had been in St. Petersburg before moving to Leiden in 1912) had trained several top students. Landau studied abroad in 1929-1930, especially with Niels Bohr in Denmark. In 1932 he brought these concepts of teaching and training to the Kharkov Physical-Technical Institute, and introduced his own famous examination program, "the theoretical minimum." With the Nazi takeover in Germany, Kharkov became an unlikely center for international scholars in the mid-1930s as well. This, too, declined under totalitarian repression. Landau left after five years, under political pressure, imprisonment, and a fortunate rescue through the intervention of Peter Kapitza. Landau was critically injured in a car crash in 1962 and died in 1968. The Course was completed in 9 volumes, much revised and updated, by Lifschitz. . N° de réf. du libraire 70783
