Author: ARCHIMEDES
Seller: Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Description: Paris: Claude Morellum, 1615. Title in red and black with printer’s device, ornamental initials, head- and tailpieces, woodcut mathematical diagrams throughout. Greek, Roman and Italic type. Contemporary calf, rebacked; inner margins of last dozen leaves waterstained, otherwise a very nice copy with contemporary annotations and the contemporary ownership signature of Thomas Willughby on the title page. The complete works of Archimedes, the first edition edited by David Rivault. It contains all Archimedes’ monumental contributions to science: his discovery of the principle of specific gravity and methods for calculating the centres, circle measurements, the quadrature of the parabola and spirals, techniques of analysis, his theoretical work on mechanics and hydrostatics, an approximation of the value of π, and his treatment of the numeration of large numbers. Archimedes of Syracuse (c. 287-212 BC) was the finest scientist and mathematician of the ancient world. He created mechanics and was a pioneer in the fields of statics and hydrostatics. According to Gauss, Archimedes had only Newton as a mathematical equal.

Title: Abhandlungen über die Algebraische Auflösung der Gleichungen
Author: ABEL, Niels Henrik & GALOIS, Evariste (MASER, H., trans.)
Seller: Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Description: Berlin: Julius Springer, 1889. FIRST EDITION OF THE GERMAN TRANSLATION. Half-marbled cloth over marbled boards; a fantastic copy. First edition of this German translation. The relevant treatises of Abel (1802-1829) and Galois (1811-1832) are combined here in these treatise on the algebraic solution of equations. This was the first time that Galois had been translated into German. Along with Galois, who generalized Abel’s investigations into the insolvability of equations (Abel-Ruffini’s theorem or the so-called Galois theory), Abel, a Norwegian mathematician, was an important co-founder of group theory. Galois, who died at the age of 20 years and seven months (in 1832) from wounds received in a mysterious duel, left a body of work -- for the most part published posthumously -- of less than 100 pages, the astonishing richness of which was revealed in the second half of the nineteenth century. Continuing the work of Abel, he produced with the aid of group theory a definitive answer to the problem of the solvability of algebraic equations, a problem that had absorbed the attention of mathematicians since the eighteenth century; he thereby laid one of the foundations of modern algebra.
