Basane brune, dos orné. (Reliure de l'époque.) //// Bound with: Géométrie de position. Paris, Duprat, 1803. In-4 of (4), XXXVIII, (2), 489 pp. 15 plates h.-t. First editions of Lazare Carnot's two most important works, both very important contributions to modern geometry. His Essay on Transversals, 1806, are important contributions to modern geometry. By his effort to explain the meaning of the negative sign in geometry he established a "geometry of position". He invented a class of general theorems on projective properties of figures which have since been pushed to great extend by Poncelet, Chasles and others." (Cajori, History of Mathematics p. 336). Very nice copy. /// PLUS DE PHOTOS SUR WWW.LATUDE.NET
