‎The Wire-Tap Channel. - [PERFECT SECRECY - FIRST DESCRIPTION OF THE WIRE-TAP CHANNEL.]‎

‎New York, American Telephone and Telegraph Company, 1975. 8vo. Original full green cloth, bound with the original blue wrappers. Volume 54, 1975 of ""The Bell System Technical Journal"". Library stamp to pasted down front free end-paper. Minor bumping to extremities. Beside a very few pencil marks a nice and clean copy. Pp. 1355-1387. [Entire issue: Pp. 1179-1796 + 4 wrappers].‎

‎First edition of Wyner's highly influential paper on the wire-tap channel. In the paper, Wyner shows how one could obtain ""perfect secrecy"" when a receiver enjoys a better channel than does the wire-tapping opponent.""Aaron's interest in cryptography led him to invent the wire-tap channel.'' In his 1975 BSTJ paper introducing this channel, he worked out virtually its complete theory, showing the then-surprising fact that one could obtain perfect secrecy without the advance exchange of secret keys provided that the legitimate receiver enjoys a better channel from the sender than does the wire-tapping opponent. This work, which preceded the introduction of public-key cryptography, has had a steadily increasing influence on developments in this field. Recent results by Maurer and by Csiszar and Korner showing the remarkable usefulness of common randomness'' in cryptography are direct consequences of Wyner's work."" (From the ITSOC obituary).Aaron D. Wyner is also known for his contributions in coding theory, particularly the Gaussian channel and cryptography.‎

‎On the Association of Attributes in Statistics: with Illustrations from the Material of the Childhood Society, &c. (Offprint from: Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Vol. 194, pp.257-319).‎

‎London, The Royal Society, 1900. Large 4to. Original printed wrappers. Some fraying to extremeties. Back wrapper loose. Vertical folding mark.‎

‎First edition, offprint issue of this important paper. ""Yule's studies of the correlation of continuous variables led him, in 1900 [offered paper], to study measures of association for discrete variables, in particular the cross-ration c ('odds ration') in 2 x 2 contingency table and its transform Q=(1-c)/(1+c), now known as 'Yule's coefficient'. This led to an altercation with Pearson in which Pearson's capacity for acrimonious and illdirected criticism was displayed, in marked contrast to Yule's gentler mode of expression. Even Fisher, who as a young man had felt the sharpness of Pearson's pen, was later moved to remark 'Pearson' attacked Yule's work at one time much more violently than ever he did mine'."" - Heyde: Statisticians of the Centuries, p.293.‎

‎First appearence of this fundamental paper in metamathematics and mathematical logic in which he introduced both ""The Axiom of Choice"" and ""his sensational proof of the well-ordering theorem"" (DSB). By this paper Zermelo contributed decisively to the development of set-theory. Zermelo took up the problem, left over by Cantor, of what to do about the comparison of sets that are not well-ordered. ""In 1904 (the paper offered) he proved....that every set can be well-ordered. To make the proof he had to use what is now known as the axiom of choice (Zermelo's axiom), which states that given any collection of nonempty, disjoined sets, it is possible to choose one member from each set and so make up a new set. The axiom of choce, the well-ordering theorem, and the fact that any two sets may be compared as to size, are equivalent principles.""(Morris Kline). A controversy arose around ""The axiom of Choice"", from Bertrand Russell, Tarski, Frege, Hilbert, Brouwer and others, mainly, and of course importent, over how to interpret the words ""choose"" and ""exists"".The issue also contain the following papers of interest:David Hilbert.

‎First printing of Zorawski's important paper which is one of the very first responses to Sophus Lie's group theory. ""One of the first mathematicians who reacted to Lie's newly introduced concept was Kasimir Zorawaski, a polish scientist who worked in Warsaw. As examples of differential invariants, Zorawski mentioned Gauss curvature, Beltrami operators, and Minding's geodesic curvature. Similar to Lie, he asked for the number of invariants of different orders. From then on, two concepts played a major role within the theory of differential calculus, initiated by Ricci, and the group concept that was introduced by Lie and improved by Zorawski.""

‎Scarce first edition. Here Lehmann standardized the Hachure Representation. Hachures are an older mode of representing relief. They show orientation of slope, and by their thickness and overall density they provide a general sense of steepness. Being non-numeric, they are less useful to a scientific survey than contours, but can successfully communicate quite specific shapes of terrain. They are a form of shading, although different from the one used in shaded maps. - Poggendorffr I, 1410.‎
