1799In-4°, XX, pp.210, tavola fuori testo legatura in cartonato. Christian Kramp fu un astronomo, fisico e matematico francese, scrisse di vari argomenti e molti trattati di matematica pura. La sua opera principale benché di carattere astronomico è - Analyse des refractions astronomiques et terrestres - In questa opera affronta il problema della elasticità dell'aria in relazione alla sua densità ma soprattutto presenta una dettagliata tavola numerica delle funzioni trascendentali che cosi divenne importante nel CALCOLO DELLE PROBALITA' da essere chiamata " Kramp's trascendental", introdusse anche la funzione "n". Come Bessel, Legendre e Gauss egli estese la nozione di fattoriale ai sistemi di numeri non interi (non-whole). DSB ad vocem. In-4°, XX, pp.210, plate, cardboard binding Christian Kramp was a French astronomer, physicist and mathematician, he wrote of various and many subjects treatises on pure mathematics. His main work although of an astronomical nature is - Analyze des refractions astronomiques et terrestres - In this work he addresses the problem of air elasticity in relation to its density but above all it presents a detailed numerical table of transcendental functions which thus became important in the CALCULATION OF PROBALITIES to be called "Kramp's transcendental", also introduced the function "n". Like Bessel, Legendre and Gauss he extended the notion of factorial to non-whole number systems. (See DSB)

1541In-8°; pp. 796, mancano le ultime due carte, legatura in mezza pelle con tassello al dorso, più tarda. Con molti legni e diagrammi nel testo. Seconda edizione, la prima del 1538, le Lucubrationes dell’umanista fiammingo rappresentano un’opera “enciclopedica” nel senso che raccolgono trattati nei diversi campi del sapere, di particolare interesse la sezione scientifica dedicata all’ottica, alla prospettiva, astronomia, geometria e matematica, anche per le molte illustrazioni. Sembra le la parola “enciclopedi” si trovi per la prima volta proprio sul frontespizio di quest’opera, sotto la forma di kiklopedia.

1919214pp VG/none First edition in English, printed at the request of the Ministry of Munitions. Editorial sturdy green cloth with bright gilt lettering on front board and spine, spine slightly faded and light foxing on pastedowns and endpapers otherwise a very good, nice copy, crisp and clean. Important work by the Italian scientist Galileo Ferraris, originally published in Italian as The Fundamental Properties of Dioptric Instruments, here translated into English by Oscar Faber. From the review which apperared in Nature, the scientific journal: "The original of this translation was published by Prof. Galileo Ferraris, of Turin, in 1876. As a copy of this original could apparently not be procured, the English translation was made from a German one by Lippich, which appeared in 1879. At the time of its appearance the book unquestionably marked a great advance in the treatment of its subject, and well deserved the extremely favourable review with which Abbe honoured the German translation in the first volume of the Zeitschrift für Instrumentenkunde."

First printing of the first announcement of Maxwell unification of light-waves electricity and magnetism the most importent of the papers relating to his electromagnetic theory in which he brought electro-magnetical phenomena on a clear mathematical form. The present paper is an abstract of the larger paper which was read to the Royal Academy in 1864 but only issued the year later 1865 in "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society" where it was printed in full and as an abstract in "Philosophical Magazine" 1865."A generation later Einstein's work on relativity was founded directly oupon Maxwell's electromagnetic theory; it was this that led him to equate Faraday with Galileo and Maxwell with Newton."

Pp. 1-176 a. 4 folded engraved plates. Entire issue offered. Titlepage to vol. 94 small stamp on verso. Fick's paper: pp. 59-86. Helmholtz's paper: pp. 1-28. Clean and fine. First appearance of Fick's importent paper in molecular physics in which he annouced his two laws of diffusion.Fick's first law relates the diffusive flux to the concentration field by postulating that the flux goes from regions of high oncentration to regions of low concentration with a magnitude that is proportional to the concentration gradient spatial derivative. - Fick's second law predicts how diffusion causes the concentration field to change with time. Wikipedia.First appearance of HELMHOLTZ'S fundamental paper in physiological optics in which he examined the sensitivity of the eye for the individual elements of the violet end of the spectrum; he was able to detect a whole series of distinct tones of purple: he alters the name 'invisible rays' to that of 'ultra-violet rays'; discussion of the relations of the wavelenghts of complementary colours and the intensity required if the mixture of simple complementarity colours is to produce white. He answered these questions quantatively. "THE TREATISE the paper offered WHICH HAS BEEN FUNDAMENTAL FOR ALL LATER WORK OF THE SAME KIND concludes with an inquiry into the validity of Newton's Colour Circle which Helmholtz designates as one of the most brilliant inspirations of that great thinker."Leo Koenigsberge "Hermann von Helmholtz" pp. 131-133. unknown

A few scattered brownspots but in general clean. Scarce first German edition of this hugely influential textbook in optics."Smith wrote on optics and harmonics. In 1738 he published A Compleat System of Optics in Four Books viz. A Popular at Mathematical a Mechanical and a Philosophical Treatise. Both comprehensive and reliable the work became probably the most influential optical textbook of the eighteenth century. It was also published in Dutch in 1753 in German in 1755 and in two different French translations in 1767 In 1778 an abridged version was published in English. In turn its popularity helped to establish the eighteenth-century conviction that light is particulate." DSB. hardcover
