Scarce first edition and the first work of its kind "Recreational Mathematics".Qzanam's "contributions consisted of popular treatises and reference works on "useful and practical mathematics" and an extremely popular work on mathematical recreations; the latter had by far the more lasting impact. Ozanam’s Récréations may be regarded as the forerunner of modern books on mathematical recreations. He drew heavily on the works of Bachet de Méziriac Mydorge Leurechon and Daniel Schwenter; his own contributions were somewhat less significant for he was not a particularly creative mathematician. The work was later augmented and revised by Montucla and still later was translated into English by Hutton 1803."DSB. hardcover
1750réf. 18749Paris 1750. 8vo. Jacques Rollin Contemporary mottled calf spine gilt in compartments with two red morocco labels lettered in gold blue marbled edges. With 136 engraved plates 9 folding 127 full-page numerous woodcut diagrams and printed tables in the text. 4 volumes. 16 460 20; 4 462 14; 2 482 12; 8 446 5 pp. Enlarged edition of a famous compendium of popular science complete with all 136 engraved plates. The work discusses a wide variety of subjects as it presents both serious scientific problems and experiments as well as descriptions of conjuring tricks fireworks and games. The problems and their solutions are arranged according to subject: arithmetical geometrical gnomonical optical mechanical pyrotechnical and physical. The optical problems were based on the author's own teachings of perspective and include working with mirrors anamorphosis and a camera obscura. All problems and experiments described are clearly and fully depicted on the numerous engraved plates.For his Recreations Jacques Ozanam 1640-1717 used everything known at the time in the field of popular science and made use of the works of Claude Gaspard Bachet de Mérizac Claude Mydorge Jean Leurechon and Daniel Schwenter. The added treatise on clocks which can be found in the third volume was based upon Domenico Martinelli's Horlogi elementari 1669 with popular observations by Ozanam added. However Ozanam not only recreated other scientist's experiments but also presented his own including a first idea of a movie made by quickly projecting magic lantern slides of the same figure in slightly different poses creating the illusion of a person walking. His work became very popular and was used at schools and at home to teach youth all aspects of mathematical sciences. The first edition was published in 1694; this is the final edition in the original form as the work was almost entirely rewritten by Jean-Étienne Montucla 1725-1799 shortly after. The present edition was significantly enlarged compared to the first edition with extra information and 52 additional plates.Ozanam came from a Jewish family that had converted to Catholicism. He taught mathematics in Lyon before going to Paris where his teaching brought him a substantial income. Ozanam cannot be regarded as a first-rate mathematician but he had a flair for writing and during his career he wrote a number of books some of which were very popular passing through many editions. His contributions consisted of popular treatises and reference works on 'useful and practical mathematics' and this extremely popular work on mathematical recreations which had by far the more lasting impact. Ozanam's Récréations may be regarded as the forerunner of modern books on mathematical recreations.With a paper shelfmark label mounted on the front pastedown of each volume "j3459/ 223". The edges and corners of the boards of all volumes are somewhat scuffed. Internally clean with only minor foxing on some of the leaves plates 19-21 in volume 1 are bound in the wrong order.

1696réf. 28the forerunner of mathematical recreations and its use in the art of illusionism and magic an early manual for the first "mentalists" Ozanam Jacques.

Paris : Jombert 1696. 2 volumes in 8vo 188x120 mm contemporary calf with gilt decorations at spine pp. 16 265 1; 266-583 25 the last is blank. Engraved title-page. Second edition of the forerunner of modern books on mathematical recreations including illusionism mentalism fireworks conjuring sundials and clocks. 84 engraved folding plates 45 first Vol. 39 second that support the solution of mathematical arithmetic geometric optical or cosmographic problems or that visualize the mechanism of a clock. Scarce second edition 1st published in 1694 of the first work on recreational mathematics. This is one of the most popular books on the subject dealing among the other subjects with fireworks conjuring and presenting in vol. 2 a translation of Domenico Martinelli's treatise on clocks printed in Venice in 1663 p. 473 The volumes are divided into 9 topics Vol 1: 1 Arithmetic 2 Geometry 3 Optics 4 Gnomonics and 5 Cosmography. Vol 2 6 Mechanics 7 Pyrotechnics 8 Physics and 9 the translation Martinelli treatise on Watches. For each topic Ozanam presents a series of problems with the various possible solutions described and often illustrated Among the problems of mechanics Ozanam describes and illustrate a form of transport that foreshadows the automobile: behind the driver who holds reins in his hands stands a valet who activates with his feet two spring-loaded boards giving the carriage its impetus playing the role of a modern engine. Most of the chapter about arithmetic is dedicated to the art of illusionism and mathematical games. A long chapter is dedicated to magic squares from pp. 36 on but many are the tricks described always in the form of a problem/solution which today are attributed to a kind of illusionism called mentalism a form of illusionism whose practitioners through techniques such as cold reading or hot reading give the illusion of being able to read others 'minds demonstrating supernatural or at least highly developed mental and intuitive ability. In their performances mentalists give the impression of being able to exercise telepathy clairvoyance divination precognition psychokinesis mediumship mind control hypnosis prodigious memory and rapid mental calculation. Among the games described in the text that can be accounted under this category we remember for example: Problem XII: Thrown two dice how to guess the values on the top two sides without looking at them. Problem XIV: Guessing a number that someone has chosen by asking him questions Problem XVI: Guessing a number someone has chosen without asking them questions problem XX: Guess how many coins a spectator hides in his hands Problem XXVIII: Given three known playing cards and three spectators guess which card each one has chosen. problem XXXI: Among different cards arranged on three decks how to guess which one the spectator has chosen and many others. Jacques Ozanam 1640 - 1718 was a French mathematician. Although his father pushed him toward an ecclesiastical career he was much more attracted by science and mathematics that continued to study as a self-taught. At the age of 15 he was able to write a treatise on mathematics but his father induced him to enroll in courses in theology despite his little inclination for the priestly life. After four years of theological studies his father died and he returned to scientific studies. In 1670 he published trigonometric and logarithmic tables more accurate than the existing Ulacq Pitiscus and Briggs works and numerous and well received mathematical publications. In particular he had great success with Dictionnaire mathématique the five volumes of the Cours de mathématiques and Récréations mathématiques et physiques ; his manuscript entitled Les six livres de l'Arithmétique de Diophante augmentés et reduits à la spécieuse received commendations from Leibnitz himself. Récréations mathématiques et physiques was also successful in the English translation and is still well known and looked after today. He was elected a member of the Académie Royale des Sciences now Académie des Sciences in 1701. The death of his wife plunged him into deep sorrow and the loss of his foreign pupils through the War of the Spanish Succession reduced him to poverty.

April 1921 in Wohlen - 26. Oktober 2013 in Zürich war ein Schweizer Mathematiker der sich mit Funktionentheorie befasste. Strebel wurde 1953 bei Rolf Nevanlinna an der Universität Zürich promoviert Über das Kreisnormierungsproblem der konformen Abbildung. 1953 bis 1955 war er am Institute for Advanced Study und an der Stanford University. Er wurde 1955 Professor in Fribourg und 1963 der Nachfolger von Nevanlinna an der Universität Zürich als dieser zurück nach Finnland ging. Er gründete mit dem Nevanlinna-Schüler und Professor Hans Künzi das Nevanlínna Colloquium in Zürich später auch an anderen Orten um die Kontakte mit dem ehemaligen Professor in Zürich Rolf Nevanlinna aufrechtzuerhalten. 1977 wurde er Mitglied der Finnischen Akademie der Wissenschaften.
