The offered item includes the entire volume of "Histoire de L'Academie Royale des Sciences. Années MDCCXXV. Paris L'Imprimerie Royale 1727" of which the memoir of Fontenelle is printed as a "suite".

Original papers by: Maraldi Petit Nicole Winslow du Fay Pitot Delisle d'Aine Geoffroy le Cadet Reaumur Nicole Cassini de Mairan Saurin de Lagny Fizes. First edition. "In 1727 as a "Suite des mémoires de l’Académie royale des sciences" he published the Élémens de la géométrie de l’infini. Some doubted whether it was really the work of a mathematician but the author believed it was and attached great value to it. He had worked on it for a long time probably since the period of his preface to the Analyse des infiniment petits. The term élémens is to be understood in the sense of "first principles." According to Fontenelle none of the geometers who had invented or employed the calculus of infinity had given a general theory of it; that is what he proposed to do. The work is divided into a preface relating the history of this branch of calculus and into two main parts: "Système général de l’infini" and "Différentes applications ou remarques." The author discusses "the infinite in series or in progressions of numbers" and then examines "the infinite in straight and curved lines" in the words of the Abbé Terrasson who reviewed the work in the Journal des sçavans July-October 1728." There was a great deal of discussion in the scientific community about this work in which mathematicians found numerous paradoxes. Johann I Bernoulli for example in his correspondence with Fontenelle allowed his criticisms to show through his praise: he did not understand what was meant by finis indéterminables. Fontenelle attempted to defend his theory and above all his distinction between metaphysical infinity and geometric infinity: one must ignore the metaphysical difficulties in order to further geometry and the finis indéterminables ought to be considered "as a type of hypothesis necessary until now in order to explain several phenomena of the calculus" letter to Johann I Bernoulli 29 June 1729. "The orders of infinite and indeterminable quantities like the magnitudes that they represent are only purely relative entities hypothetical and auxiliary. The subject matter of mathematics is only ideal" according to the terms of a "Projet de rapport" of Dortous de Mairan to the Academy on this work." DSB. hardcover
