A volume from the Addison-Wesley Mathematics series. Illustrated throughout with diagrams, figures, graphs and equations. Bound in the original dark orange wrappers, lettered in white. The following is from MIT TECH TALK (November 15, 2006): "George B. Thomas, a mathematician who turned a one-year teaching appointment at MIT into a 38-year career, and whose well-regarded textbook has been used around the world, died Oct. 31 of natural causes in State College, Pa. He was 92. Thomas, known as a young teacher for his ability to communicate mathematical concepts, was hired in 1951 by publisher Addison-Wesley to revise their standard, widely used calculus textbook. Rather than revise, he wrote his own, a classic text that has been in use for 54 years. At MIT, Thomas came to be regarded as an outstanding teacher, 'one of the best teachers the department has ever had,' according to then department head Ted Martin Thomas was born Jan. 11, 1914, in Boise, Idaho [He studied] at Spokane University and Washington State College, which led to bachelor's and master's degrees During World War II, Thomas helped program the differential analyzer for the calculation of firing tables for the Navy. After the Soviet Union launched Sputnik in October 1957, Thomas was part of a national effort to improve math and science education in American schools [He] eventually went to Cornell, where he completed his Ph.D. in mathematics in 1940, and then came to MIT, from which he retired in 1978. Thomas' commitment to education went well beyond MIT. From 1955-57, he served on the Board of Governors of the Mathematical Association of America, an organization devoted to mathematics, especially at the undergraduate level. He was elected its first Vice-President 1958-59. Thomas also served on the Executive Committee, Mathematics Division, of the American Society for Engineering Education from 1956-59. He was a member of the Commission on Mathematics of the College Entrance Examination Board, 1955-58, for which he co-authored monographs on mathematics, and spoke at numerous forums about teaching and high school curriculum reform. In addition to his calculus text, which had a significant impact, he was also one of the editors on a series of high school mathematics texts for Addison-Wesley Publishing.".

[London]. August 6, 1840. [1]p. A.L.S. 4to. Bifolium with integral address leaf. About 135 words. Transmittal folds; very good. 1840 autograph letter signed by William Campbell Ottley (18081843), Cambridge University junior fellow and calculus and chemistry author. Writing to "Mons[ieu]r. Le Comte de Ripert Monclar," Ottley discusses a brochure on life insurance he has written: "In the mean time allow me to present you with the inclosed humble effort of my penthe little brochure on Life Contingencies is very far from treating the subject as it ought to be treated but this must be excused on the grounds stated in the introductory notice. It is yet incomplete, but I venture to hope that even as it is, it may tempt you to peruse it." William C. Ottley was the son of William Young Ottley (17711836), art writer, collector of old master drawings, prints, and paintings, and keeper of prints and drawings at the British Museum. William C. Ottley studied at Cambridge University where he earned his B.A. (1832) and M.A. (1835). From 1835 to 1841 he was a junior fellow of Gonville and Caius College at Cambridge. He was the author of such books as Dictionary of Chemistry and of Mineralogy Connected with It (London, 1826), written at the age of 18, and A Treatise on the Differential Calculus (London, 1838). "Went abroad, owing to failing health, and died at Paris, May 9, 1843. For a time he took pupils in Cambridge; and shortly before his death projected a Life Assurance Company, to be called the New Equitable; which did not succeed." Note. 1. Venn, comp.

Condition: Very good. First Edition. Presentation copy, inscribed to a mathematician and fellow co-founder of the Astronomical Society, of Babbage's major early-career paper on mathematical notation. Before Babbage invented the first mechanical computer, he had already distinguished himself as one of the most innovative mathematicians of his lifetime. "Observations" was "quite a remarkable paper," showing by unimpeachable mathematical calculations the reasons for his chosen system of notation for the calculus of functions. The notation of a mathematical theory is fundamental to its progress: without a usable system, the true potential of a theory remains by default unrealized. In other words, a great mathematical innovation cannot be great until it can be properly communicated through notation. In this paper, Babbage has put forth a compact and muscular system of notation for his biggest purely mathematical innovation, the calculus of functions. This 1820 paper is bound in early wrappers with a few further Royal Society papers, including another foundational work in Babbage's early mathematical career, his 1815 "Essay Towards the Calculus of Functions [part I]." The calculus of functions was "undoubtedly Babbage's major mathematical invention" (Dubbey 51). While studying at Cambridge, Babbage realized that the patriotic dispute between Newton and Leibniz as contemporaneous inventors of calculus had led English education into staleness: Europeans continued to build on Leibniz's system of notations for calculus, while Cambridge mathematicians required rote memorization of Newton's work. Many of Babbage's earliest published mathematical treatises on the calculus of functions, including those here, not only brought the English approach up to date, but sought to innovate further in the field - essentially, the first substantive mathematical innovations by an Englishman since Newton. Babbage's calculus of functions, an area of mathematics he essentially invented, "has possibilities that have been little explored even in modern mathematics" (Dubbey 51). The 1820 "Observations" was published the same year that Babbage, along with 13 others, founded the Astronomical Society of London (soon to be renamed the Royal Astronomical Society). Among its founding members was Babbage's friend Olinthus Gilbert Gregory, a professor of mathematics who was almost certainly the recipient of this presentation copy. Gregory and Babbage were part of the committee charged with developing the by-laws of the society the same year. It was, in fact, Babbage's activites with other Astronomical Society members that led to his first proposal to develop a difference engine for accomplishing large masses of calculations without error. When Babbage successfully constructed his first engine in 1823, the Astronomical Society presented him with a gold medal, and "this may have given him the encouragement he needed to go ahead with the task of constructing a much enlarged difference engine" (Dubbey 182). When Babbage sought government funding for what would be the first mechanical computer, Gregory wrote Babbage in full support of the idea: "The application of machinery to the purposes of computation, in the way you have so happily struck out [.] cannot fail" (quoted in Dubbey 183). Presentation copies of Babbage papers are quite scarce, let alone examples from a formative time in his career - at the peak of his innovations for pure mathematics, and on the cusp of the world-changing mechanical ones that would earn him the nickname "father of the computer." 11'' x 9''. Early drab paper wrappers. [2], 14; 389-454, [8] pages. Ink inscription, "Dr Gregory / from the author" to title page. Bound with: AN ESSAY TOWARDS THE CALCULUS OF FUNCTIONS 389-423 pages; A.P.
