Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an early work of geometry by a renowned mathematician and is still widely used today. The text consists of 13 books, each covering a different aspect of geometry, including plane and solid geometry, the theory of measurement, and the foundations of number theory. The author's approach is axiomatic, and he uses a series of definitions, postulates, and propositions to build up a coherent system of geometric knowledge. The work is notable for its rigor and clarity, and it has had a profound influence on the development of mathematics. It is still studied today as a foundational text in geometry and is considered one of the most important works in the history of mathematics. The author's insights into the nature of geometric objects and the relationships between them have had a lasting impact on our understanding of space and form.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book begins with a step-by-step approach to grasping the fundamentals of geometry. The author starts by defining points, lines, and angles before moving on to more complex geometric shapes. Readers are then introduced to the concept of congruent triangles as well as the process of manipulating geometric shapes to form new shapes. These basic principles are then used as the building blocks for understanding parallelograms, along with their properties and relationship to triangles. This book thus provides a solid foundation in geometry and will be of use to students and teachers alike.

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. Er war Invited Speaker auf dem Internationalen Mathematikerkongress 1974 in Vancouver (On quadratic differentials and extremal quasiconformal mappings).

Claude François Milliet Dechales Born: 1621 in Chambéry, France Died: 28 March 1678 in Turin, Italy Claude Dechales became a Jesuit at the age of 15 and was educated within the Jesuit Order. The Jesuit Order had been created about eighty years before Dechales was born and from the very beginning education and scholarship became the principal work of the Order. By the time Dechales entered the Order it contained over 16,000 men. The main task of the Jesuits was education, but the next most important task was missionary work throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa. Dechales participated in these two major roles of the Jesuits, for in addition to a life spent in education, he was, for a time, a Jesuit missionary in Turkey. Dechales lectured at Jesuit colleges, first in Paris where for four years he taught at the Collège de Clermont, then at he taught at Colleges in Lyons and Chambéry. From Chambéry he went to Marseilles where King Louis XIV appointed him Royal Professor of Hydrography. In Marseilles he taught navigation, military engineering and other applications of mathematics. From Marseilles he moved to Turin where he was appointed professor of mathematics. Dechales is best remembered for Cursus seu mundus mathematicus published in Lyons in 1674, a complete course of mathematics. Topics covered in this wide ranging work included practical geometry, mechanics, statics, magnetism and optics as well as topics outwith the usual topics of mathematics such as geography, architecture, astronomy, natural philosophy and music. Nardi writes [5]:- Dechales adopted Galileo's theory of motion, where he introduced several original views and developments. He attaches a preponderant significance to the experimental foundation of Galileo's main theorems and, in his opinion, the proportionality of velocity and time is first an expression of Nature (ex natura rei), then a logical assignment. Dechales anticipates some aspects of Newton's natural philosophy by emphasising questions depending on dynamics such as the concept of gravity (related to the free fall of bodies) and the mathematical treatment of air friction. . Dechales' [offers] apology of Galileo's times-squared law of uniformly accelerated motion, which is maintained by Dechales in opposition to rival explanatory attempts developed - or even simply proposed - by contemporary scientists like the Jesuit professors Fabri and Le Cazre . The book was widely used but it reflects his ability to teach rather than a research ability and fails to use the mathematical advances of the day. It is old-fashioned in its coverage: in algebra, for example, it owes more to Diophantus than to the algebraists of its day. Hutton wrote that the book:- . is of a very old-fashioned sort, considering the time when it was written. As Moritz Cantor points out in [3] Dechales rarely mentions the work of Mydorge, Desargues, Pascal, Fermat, Descartes, or Wallis [1]:- . while according Dechales due credit for his efforts, Cantor is nevertheless critical of much of the mathematical content of his work.

Reliure en plein vélin ivoire d'époque. Dos lisse orné de triples filets à froid, titre et auteur à la plume. Plats encadrés de triples filets à froid ; traces de fermoirs. Toutes tranches bleues. Six petits signets en cuir de l'époque. Ex-libris bavarois de l'époque. Dos fendu avec un petit manque sur toute la longueur. Un mors légèrement fendu (1,5cm).

Premier contreplat victime d'un travail de vers. * Outre son illustration, l'intérêt principal de l'ouvrage est de confronter les méthodes européennes de fortifications et de défenses (française, hollandaise, allemande, italienne et espagnole) à l'heure où on assistait en Europe à de nouvelles théories qui remaniaient profondément celles de l'Antiquité sur lesquelles on s'était auparavant appuyés. Jésuite et mathématicien, Dechales a excercé son érudition dans de nombreux domaines (professeur de navigation, génie militaire, mathématique), dans toutes les disciplines au voisinage des mathématiques, notamment la musique. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First bilingual French-German edition, illustrated with 71 plates and a fortification table. Contemporary full ivory vellum binding. Smooth spine decorated with triple blind fillets, title and author in pen. Boards framed with triple blind fillets; traces of clasps. All edges blue. Six small contemporary leather bookmarks. Bavarian bookplate of the period. Spine split with a small loss along its entire length. One joint slightly cracked (1.5cm). A small ink stain on the second board. Pages uniformly and lightly browned. Front pastedown affected by bookworm damage. * Beyond its illustration, the main interest of this work is to compare European methods of fortification and defense (French, Dutch, German, Italian and Spanish) at a time when Europe was witnessing new theories that profoundly restructured those of Antiquity on which previous approaches had relied. A Jesuit and mathematician, Dechales exercised his erudition in numerous fields (professor of navigation, military engineering, mathematics), in all disciplines neighboring mathematics, notably music.
