"Summary - the central results of the Wiener-Kolmogoroff smoothing and prediction theory for stationary time series are developed by a new method. The approach is motivated by physical considerations based on electric circuit theory and does not involve integral equations or the autocorrelation function. The cases treated are the "infinite lag" smoothing problem the case of pure prediction without noise and the general smoothing prediction problem. Finally the basic assumptions of the theory are discussed in order to clarify the question of when the theory will be appropriate and to avoid possible misapplication."

Many Monographs significantly postdate the original article publication. Because of this they rarely constitute the coveted and traditional article offprint. If the journal of record issued no offprint the Monograph might be the first separate publication - the closest the collector can come to a traditional offprint.

Unbound sheets folded in signatures uncut; in absolutely beautiful condition a phenomenal newly discovered gem. First and only edition of the text volume to Bode’s Uranography published the same year. This text volume was printed separate and apart from the star atlas which set a new benchmark in the field proving itself as a true successor to the great atlases of Bayer Hevelius and Flamsteed. Bode’s atlas is noted for a number of stars lying outside of the constellations and he proposed the concept of boundaries to these constellations that would with later adjustments become “fundamental to astronomy” Whitfield.
