‎Paris, Gauthier-Villars et Cie, 1926. 4to. Without wrappers. In: ""Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances de L'Academie des Sciences"", Tome 183, No 1. Pp. (5-) 100. (Entire issue offered). Brillouin's paper: pp. 24-26.‎

‎First appearance of Brillouin's importent paper in which he introduced the WKB-method in quantum Mechanics.""In 1925 Brillouin was the only French theoretician to react competently to Werner Heisenberg’s new matrix mechanics. In two papers published in 1926, he contributed to the exploration of the mathematical content of Heisenberg’s theory. Brillouin’s first contribution in this field was important (the paper offered). Through a new method of semiclassical approximation, he discovered the relation between Schrodinger’s mechanics and the quantum theory of Niels Bohr and Sommerfeld. Presumably inspired by de Broglie’s early analogies between mechanics and optics, he found this approximation as the quantum mechanical counte)t of the approximation. In this procedure, stationary solutions of the Schrödinger equation are sought in the form eiS/h (as in the eikonal approximation of optics). In the first approximation (h small), S must be a solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of classical mechanics, and the Bohr-Sommerfeld conditions (S = 2pnh on a closed trajectory) must be satisfied for the W function to be defined and singlevalued in all space. Subsequent corrections are proportional to successive powers of h. They intermix the various Bohr trajectories. thereby reintroducing the complex interplay of quantum states found in matrix mechanics, This method, published by Brillouin in July 1926 - anticipated by Harold Jeffreys in 1923 in a purely mathematical context, reinvented by Gregor Wentzel in September 1926. and perfected by Hendrik Kramers in November 1926 - is now called the (J) BWK method and is widely used in many quantum mechanical problems.""(DSB).See also Max Jammer ""The Conceptual development of Quantum Mechanics"", pp. 277 ff.‎

‎First appearance of this outstanding contribution to mathematics, announcing his invention and developments of the ALGEBRA OF MATRICES, what is now called the Cayley-Hamilton theorem for square matrices of any order. ""The subject originated in a memoir of 1858 (the paper offered) and grew directly out of simple observations on the way in which the transformations (linear) of the theory of algebraic invariants are combined...a distinctive feature of these rules is that multiplication is not commutative...we get different results according to the order in which we do the multiplication... (it) seems about as far from anything of scientific or practical use as anything could possible be. Yet sixty seven years after Cayley's invented it, HEISENBERG in 1925 recognized in the algebra of matrices exactly the tool which he neede for his revolutionary work in QUANTUM MECHANICS.""(Bell, Men of Mathematics).""It was in connection with the study of invariants under linear transformation that Cayley first introduced matrices to simplify the notation involved. Here he gave some basic notions. This was followed by his first major paper on the subject ""A Memoir on the Theory of Matrices."", the paper offered here. (Kline, Mathematical Thought...p. 806).‎

‎First appearance of these papers constituting Dirac's own theory of quantum mechanics.""Dirac wanted to establish an algebra for quantum variables, or, as he now termed them, q-numbers... He wanted his q-number algebra to be a general and purely mathematical theory that could then be applied to problem of physics. Although it soon turned out that q-number algebra was equivalent to matrix mechanics, in 1926 Dirac's theory was developed as an original alternative to both wave mechanics and matric mechanics. It was very much Dirac's own theory, and he stuck to it without paying much attention to what went on inmatrix mechanics... In the summer of 1926, Dirac published a new and very general version of q-number algebra, this timepresented as a purely mathematical theory. In this paper (offered here) he did not refer to physics at all... The work had little impact on the physics community but seems to have been appreciated by those who cultivated the mathematical aspects of quantum physics. Most of the results obtained by Dirac in his paper ""The Elimination of the Nodes in Quantum Mechanics"" had been found earlier by the German theorists using a method of matric mechanics, but Dirac was able to improve on some of the results and deduce them from his own system of quantum mechanics.""(Helge Kragh).‎

These results not only lent weight to the concept of like particles, they also showed that like particles may be indistinguishable, that is, may lose their identity, a conclusion which follows from the uncertainty relations or, more precisely, from the impossibility of keeping track of the individual particles in case of interactions of like particles.

The Hamiltonian analogy between mechanics and optics. 2. The analogy is to be extended to include real ""physical"" or ""undulatory"" mechanics instead of mere geometrical mechanics. 3. The significance of wave-length" macro-mechanical and micro-mechanical problems. 4. The wave-equation and its application to the hydrogen atom. 5. The intrinsic reason for the appearance of discrete characteristic frequencies. 6. Other problems intensity of emitted light. 7. The wave-equation derived from a Hamiltonian variation-principle" generalization to an arbitrary conservative system. 8. The wave-function physically means and determines a continuous distribution of electricity in space, the fluctuations of which determine the radiation by the laws of ordinary electrodynamics. 9. Non-conservative systems. Theory of dispersion and scattering and of the ""transitions"" between the ""stationary states."" 10. The question of relativity and the action of a magnetic field. Incompleteness of that part of the theory."" (From the Abstract in front of the paper).‎

‎First appearance of Van Vleck's two importent papers in which he clarifies and extends the Principle of Correspondence.""Van Vleck made his greatest contribution to the old quantum theory in 1924, when he conceived his correspondence principle for absorption. He demonstrated that in the limit of high quantum numbers there would be a correspondence between absorption by classical, multiply periodic systems, and by their quantum analogues. His proof depended on interpreting net absorption in the quantum theory as the difference between gross absorption and stimulated emission of radiation (an interpretation prompted by a remark of Breit’s). Van Vleck was particularly pleased that his classical theory reproduced the quantum result without the need for stimulated emission, which he referred to as ""negative absorption."" (DSB).""Van Vleck’s theory of absorption by multiply periodic systems was consistent with the newly derived Kramers theory of dispersion, and it convinced Bohr that his correspondence principle applied not only to emission but also to absorption. Further, Van Vleck’s 1924 calculation made use of several of the ideas that Werner Heisenberg used in his matrix mechanics a year later. Van Vleck’s work, however, did not lead in the direction of matrix mechanics. His intent was to explain quantum phenomena (especially ""negative absorption"") in classical terms rather than to devise an internally consistent quantum theory."" (DSB).In 1977 he shared the Nobel Prize with Philip Anderson and N. F. Mott.Van der Waerden ""Sources of Quantum Mechanics"", pp. 203 ff.‎

When he began work in that field in 1927, the methods used by its founders were hard to formulate in precise mathematical terms"" ""operator"" on ""functions"" were handled without much consideration of their domain or definition to their topological properties: and it was blithely assumed that such ""operators,"" when self-adjoint, could always be ""diagonalized"" (as in th finite dimensional case), at the expense of introducing ""Dirac functions"" as ""eigenvectors."" Von Neumann showed that mathematical rigor could be restored by taking as basic axioms the assumptions that the states of a physical system were poinds of a Hilbert space and that the measurable quantities were Hermitian (generally unbounded) operators densely efined in that space. This formalism. the practical use of which became available after von Neumann had developed the spectral theory of unbounded Hermitian operators (1929), has survived subsequent developments of quantum mechanics and is still the basisi of non relativistic quantum theory"" with the introduction of the theory of distributions, it has even become possible to interpret its results in a way similar to Dirac’s original intuition.""(DSB).‎

‎Ouvrage bien complet en 2 volumes. Edition originale de la traduction française. Ouvrage bien complet de ses 33 planches dépliantes gravées (29 pour l'Essai de physique, dont une carte figurant les déclinaisons magnétiques terrestres, 4 pour la Description de nouvelles sortes de machines pneumatiques), ainsi que d'un portrait gravé de l'auteur en frontispice. Pieter van Musschenbroek (1692-1761), professeur de mathématiques à Utrecht, puis de physique expérimentale à Leyde, était un admirateur de Newton et de la physique de Désaguliers. Pour la rédaction de son ouvrage, il s'inspira fortement de celui de ce dernier qui avait été publié à Londres en 1725. Il fut lun des plus grands expérimentateurs de son temps et son enseignement en Hollande était particulièrement recherché pour la qualité de ses démonstrations ; rénovateur de la physique expériementale avec Willem Jacob's Gravesande, son nom reste attaché à l'invention de la bouteille de Leyde. Ce sont Musschenbroek et ses élèves qui réalisent la célèbre expérience sur le vide, dite "expérience de Leyde". A la planche XVIII, l'auteur illustre pour la première fois l'invention par Lieberkuhn du son miroir réflecteur (invention qui sera utilisée jusque durant la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle) : "on a aussi trouvé il n'y a pas longtems une bonne manière d'éclairer considérablement les objets, qui sont grands et opaques, afin de pouvoir les examiner avec toute sorte de microscope, et même à l'aide des plus petits. [C']est un petit Miroir Sphérique concave, d'Argent fin, bien poli et bien uni, dont la Lumière est réfléchie dans un Foier, qui tombe sur l'Objet, ce qui le rend fort éclairé par derrière." (page 595). Outre d'importantes observations sur l'électricité, le magnétisme, le frottement et la cohésion des solides, la capillarité, Musschenbroek imagina le pyromètre. ,50 Table : De la philosophie et des règles de raisonnement - Du corps en général et de ses propriétés - Du vide - Du lieu, du temps et du mouvement - Des puissances qui compriment ou des pressions - De la force des corps en mouvement - De la mécanique - Du frottement des machines - Du mouvement composé - De la descente des corps sur un plan incliné - Du mouvement de vibration ou d'oscillation - Du mouvement de projection - Des forces centrales - De la dureté, de la mollesse et de la flexibilité - De la percussion - De l'électricité - De la vertu attractive des corps - De la cohésion - Des fluides - De l'action des fluides qui vient de la pesanteur - Des liqueurs qui coulent par les trous d'un vase - Des jets d'eau - Des corps plongés dans les liquides et de leur pesanteur spécifique - De l'eau - Du feu - De la lumière - Description de l'oeil - De la vision - De la diptique - De la catoptrique - De l'air - Du son - Des météores - Des vents.

A study on Abu al-'Iz Ibn Isma'il ibn al-Razaz al-Jazari, (1136-1206). It's considered that he was pioneer in the field of cybernetics. He was a polymath; a scholar, inventor, mechanical engineer, craftsman, artist, and mathematician from Jazirat ibn Umar (current Cizre, Ottoman Turkey), who lived during the Islamic Golden Age (Middle Ages). He is best known for writing the al-Jami? bain al-?ilm wa al-?amal al-nafi? fi ?ina?at al-?iyal (The Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices) in 1206, where he described 100 mechanical devices, some 80 of which are trick vessels of various kinds, along with instructions on how to construct them. Some of his devices were inspired by earlier devices, such as one of his monumental water clocks, which was based on that of a Pseudo-Archimedes. He also cites the influence of the Banu Musa brothers (and also Leonardo Da Vinci) for his fountains, al-Asturlabi for the design of a candle clock, and Hibat Allah ibn al-Husayn (d. 1139) for musical automata. Al-Jazari goes on to describe the improvements he made to the work of his predecessors, and describes a number of devices, techniques and components that are original innovations which do not appear in the works by his precessors.‎
