‎First printing of Gudermann extensive and important paper on hyperbolic functions. During 1830ies Gudermann focused his work on these functions and published extensive on the subject, the present paper being the first. It was later coined the Gudermannian function.The function was introduced by Johann Heinrich Lambert in the 1760s at the same time as the hyperbolic functions. He called it the ""transcendent angle,"" and it went by various names until 1862 when Cayley suggested it be given its current name as a tribute to Gudermann's work in the 1830ies on the theory of special functions. The present paper together with two later published papers were collected in Theorie der potenzial- oder cyklisch-hyperbolischen functionen (1833), a book which expounded sinh and cosh to a wide audience.The issue also contain a paper by the famous Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel.""Gudermann devoted much more attention to the theory of special functions. After the earlier works of Leonhard Euler, John Landen, and A. M. Legendre (Gauss's results were still in manuscript), Niels Abel's studies on elliptical functions, published mostly in A. L. Crelle's Journal für reine und angewandte Mathematik, represented an important divide in treating this area. In 1829 Carl Jacobi's book Fundamenta nova theoriae functionum ellipticarum was published.

(DSB).Gudermann is known today for being the teacher of Karl Weierstrass, who took Gudermann's course in elliptic functions in 1839, the first to be taught in any institute. Weierstrass was greatly influenced by this course, which marked the direction of his own research.‎

[Entire volume: IV, 592 pp.].‎

‎First printing of Harnack's Curve Theorem which formed the background for Hilbert's sixteenth problem. In real algebraic geometry, Harnack's curve theorem, named after Axel Harnack, describes the possible numbers ofconnected components that an algebraic curve can have, in terms of the degree of the curve.Hilbert's sixteenth problem was posed as the ""Problem of the topology of algebraic curves and surfaces"", he presented his problem as follows: ""The upper bound of closed and separate branches of an algebraic curve of degree n was decided by Harnack (the present paper)"" from this arises the further question as of the relative positions of the branches in the plane.As of the curves of degree 6, I have - admittedly in a rather elaborate way - convinced myself that the 11 branches, that they can have according to Harnack, never all can be separate, rather there must exist one branch, which have another branch running in its interior and nine branches running in its exterior, or opposite. It seems to me that a thorough investigation of the relative positions of the upper bound for separate branches is of great interest, and similarly the corresponding investigation of the number, shape and position of the sheets of an algebraic surface in space - it is not yet even known, how many sheets a surface of degree 4 in three-dimensional space can maximally have."" (Rohn, Flächen vierter Ordnung, Preissschriften der Fürstlich Jablonowskischen Gesellschaft, Leipzig 1886).Hilbert had investigated the M-curves of degree 6, and found that the 11 components always were grouped in a certain way. His challenge to the mathematical community now was to completely investigate the possible configurations of the components of the M-curves.Furthermore he requested a generalization of Harnack's Theorem to algebraic surfaces and a similar investigation of surfaces with the maximum number of components.The problem is still unsolved today.‎

‎First printing of this ""first paper on an electronic digital computer published in a large-circulation international scientific journal."" (OOC).The ENIAC was the first general-purpose electronic computer. It was a Turing-complete [computationally universal] digital computer capable of being reprogrammed to solve a full range of computing problems.""Hartree, a British mathematician, first learned of ENIAC [Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer] in 1945, when he saw the as-yet uncompleted machine during a visit to the Moore School. In 1946 he returned to the Moore School as a participant in the Moore School lectures, advising on nonmilitary uses of ENIAC"" during this time he became the first Englishman to work with the machine. He was the first to bring news of ENIAC to Great Britain, publishing the above article in Nature shourtly after his return from the United States. Although he himself invented no new calculating devices, Hartree's promotion of electronic digital calculating methods in scientific computation helped to stimulate the development of more powerful computers like Cambridge University's EDSAC."" (OOC).The ENIAC was compared to today's standard rather large: It was 100 feet long, 10 feet high, and 3 deep and contained 18,000 vacuum tubes, about 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors, and 6,000 switches. It consumed 140 kilowatts of power, so much power that, when operated, the lights in a nearby town dimmed.See: Hook & Norman. Origins of Cyberspace 648.‎

‎First printing of Hausdorff important paper in which a generalization of Cantor's Continuum Hypothesis was presented for the first time. This is equivalent to what is now called the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis.The continuum hypothesis is a hypothesis, put forth by Georg Cantor in 1877, about the possible sizes of infinite sets. It states: ""There is no set whose cardinality is strictly between that of the integers and that of the real numbers.""Felix Hausdorff is considered to be one of the founders of modern topology and he contributed significantly to set theory, descriptive set theory, measure theory, function theory, and functional analysis.‎

‎First edition of one of the last articles by a key figure in Map-colour theory. Percy John Heawood, proved in 1890 that Alfred Kempe's Four-colour theorem was flawed and established his own five-colour theory. ""Heawood was, however, able to salvage an important idea, that of Kempe chains, from Kempe's proof. Using Kempe's work, Heawood was able to prove that every map is 5-colorable."" (Hilton, Mathematical vistas: from a room with many windows, 2002, p. 148 ). ""It is not known how Heawood became aware of the Four-Color problem.

He rejected the earlier hypotheses, and followed up the analogies between the motion of fluids and the electromagnetic action of electrical currents, which were of such much importence for his subsequent work on the Theory of Electricity and Magnetism.""Leo Koenigsberger, p. 167 ff.)""In 1858 Helmholtz published his seminal memoir ""Ueber Integrale der hydrodynamischen Gleichungen, welche den Wirbelbewegungen entsprechen,"" important for both its physical results and its mathematical methods.
