Scarce first edition of l'Hôspital's second book - his second successfull textbook - the manuscript of which was left completed at his death in 1704. His first book "Analyse des infiniment petits pour l’intelligence des lignes courbes" 1696 was the first textbook of the differential calculus and his name lives on in the name of the rule for finding the limiting value of a fraction whose numerator and denominator tend to zero. His mathyematical teacher was Jean Bernoulli.The year in which Newton published the anti-Cartesian "Arithmeticus" there appeared in France a conspicuously successfull textbook on Cartesian geometry along the lines of that of Guisnée. This was the "Traité Analytique des Sections Coniques". a book which contains less original material than that of Guisnée but which is more extensive and closer to the modern manner of treatment. The work had been intended for publication at the time the authors famous calculus textbook appeared in 1696 but l'Hospital's illness apparently led to delay and it appeared posthumously in 1707. It is Cartesian in emphasis and although it consists of but one volume follows generally the tripartite plan of Lahire and Ozanam: first an algebraic quasi-analytic treatment of the Conic Sections along the lines of Apollonian theory; then an analytic study of the loci and finally a long section on the customary construction by conics of the roots of cubic and quartic polynominal equations. LHospital sometimes used two axes and seems to have recognized the interchangeability of these but he betrays some hesitation. In general L'Hospital like Descartes was more interested in analytic geometry as a measure of ecpressing loci algebraivcally than as a method of deriving the properties of a curve from its equation."

1785ref. 44970Paris Moutard 1785. 4to. Extracted from "Mémoires fe Mathematique et de Physique Présentés à l'Academie des Sciences par divers Savans" Tome X. Pp. 511-550 a. 2 folded engraved plates. Clean and fine. First appearance of this importent paper by the "greatest geometer of the century" in which he solves some main problems in coordinate geometry especially he introduced the "distant formula" for three dimensions years before it was used by Lagrange. He laid the foundation of a completely new branch of mathematics known as descriptive geometry. The paper was delivered already in 1771 but not published until 1785. "His first important original work was "Memoire sur les développées les rayons de courbure et différents genres d inflexions des courbes á double courbure" He published an extract from it in June 1769 in the Journal encycyclop´matiques and in October 1770 he finished a more complete version that he read before the Academie des Sciences in August 1771; the latter however was not published until 1785 Mémoires de mathématiques et de physique présentés á ’Academic par divers scavanns. By then some of the most important ideas in the memoir no longer seemed so original because Monge had employed them in other works published in the intervening years. Nevertheless this memoir is of exceptional interest for it presents most of the new conceptions that Monge developed in his later works as well as his very personal method of exposition which combined pure geometry analytic geometry and infinitesimal calculus."DSB. unknown

First appearance of this pathbreaking paper in which Cayley unites 'Metrical Geometry' and 'Projectice Geometry' by introducing "imaginary" elements to metrical properties."The fundamental notions in metrical geometry are the distance between two points and the angle between two lines. Replacing the concept of distance by another also involving "imaginary" elements Cayley provided the means for unifying Euclideangeometry and the common non-Euclidean gemoetries into one comprehensive theory."Bell in "Men of Mathematics".In non-Euclidean geometry prepared the way for Klein's splendid discovery that the geometry of Euclid and the non-Euclidean geometries of Lobatchewsky and Riemann are all threee merely different aspects of a more general kind of geometry which includes them as special cases.Dealing with the relations between metrical and projective geometry Klein remarks In "Entwicklung der Mathematik" Teil I p. 148: "Vor allem kommt für uns sein Cayley's berühmtes 'A Sixth Memoir upon Quantics" im betrachtt.

XII562 pp. Entire volume offered. Riemann's paper: pp. 14-17 a. 36-37. Internally clean and fine no traces of use. First English translation of this milestone work on the foundations of geometry. It "is one of the key work from which derives the modern study of differential geometry and especially the study of manifolds of dimension greater than two. It was to prove central to the overthrow of Euclidean geometry as the source of geometrical ideas and to Einstein's general theory of relativity after 1915." Grattan-Guiness "Landmark Writings in Western Mathematics 1640-1940.It is a translation of Riemann's famous Habilitationsvortrag held in 1854 in secondary literature it is often misidentified as his Habilitationsschift but that was concerned with Fourier series and was delivered the year before. Riemann begins his lecture with a remark about a certain darkness that lies at the foundation of geometry. This darkness obscures the relations between that which geometry assumes i.e. the notion of space and the first principles of constructions in space. In Riemann's oponion one must take another approach towards this problem than the usual axiomatic method used ever since Euclid. The approach taken by Riemann is to a large extent guided by Gauss's work on the intrinsic geometry of surfaces; 'Disquisitiones generales circa superficies curvas' 1828. In this work Gauss showed that the curvature of a surface can be determined without reference to the ambient Euclidean space in which it lies i.e. that the curvature is an intrinsic property of the surface. Based on this Gauss showed several fundamental theorems about figures on the surface by referring only to the surface itself i.e. indicating that the surface itself is a space with its own geometry independent of the geometry of the ambient Euclidean space. Riemann argues that the true objects and properties of geometry are those which can be studied within the space itself and he defines a general n-dimensional space in a similar manner to the parametric representation of a surface. Riemann believed that we know space only locally he therefore bases his study of the geometry of such a general space or manifold as they are known today on the infinitesimal methods of calculus. This choice is a crucial departure from the classical axiomatic methods used by Euclid Lobachevsky and Bolyai. The notion of distance or metric on a manifold is a generalization of the usual Euclidean distance formula in n-dimensions. Particular choices of space and metric reveal both the hyperbolic geometries of Lobachevsky and Bolyai and elliptic or Riemannian geometry. Riemann's approach to geometry is of paramount importance this work "did more to change our ideas about geometry and physical space than any work on the subject since Euclid's Elements."

Without it Einstein would not have been able to develop his general theory of relativity." Printing and the Mind of Man p.177. hardcover
1770ref. 31785Berlin Haude & Spener 1770. 4to. No wrappers as issued in "Mémoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences et Belles Lettres" tome XXIV pp. 327-354 and 1 engraved plates. First edition. Lambert's work on non-Euclidean geometry is among the most important in the field. Carl Boyer writes "No one else came so close to the truth without actually discovering non-Euclidean geomtry." History of Mathematics pp. 504. Lambert wrote his famous book 'Theorie der Parallellinien' in 1766 but it was not published until 1786 nearly a decade after his death. Lambert originally set out to prove Euclid's parallel postulate in a similar way to that which Saccheri had used in his 'Euclides Vindicatus' but in contrast he did not interpret the consequences of non-Euclidean geometry as absurd. The offered paper 'Observations Trigonometriques' is the only work by Lambert on non-Euclidean geometry which was published during his life-time. Here he made the important discovery of the duality between spherical and hyperbolic geometry i.e. that hyperbolic trigonometries can be deduced from spherical trigonometries by using imaginary angles and consequently he introduced the hyperbolic functions for the first time. By illustrating this duality Lambert gave strong evidence of the consistency of non-Euclidean geometries. See Kline's Mathematical Thought from Ancient to Modern Times pp. 404 & 868. unknown

First printing of two importent papers in the further development of Cartesian analytical geometry."The irrepressible Michel lRolle.in the Memoires of the Academie des Sciences for 1708-1709 the papers offered raised doubts about the correctness of the Cartesian graphical solution of equations as he had about the validity of the calculus of L'Hospital. He pointed out that to solve fx= 0 one arbitrarily chooses a curve gxy = 0 and on combining it with fx = 0 one obtains new curves hxy = 0 the intersection of which with gxy = 0 furnish the solution of fx = 0; and he realized that in this way extraneous solutions may be introduced. Imaginary branches further comp0licated the problem and although Rolle sawthe difficulties he was unable to solve them."Boyer "History of Analytical Geometry" p. 155. unknown
