‎Über unendliche, lineare Punktmannichfaltigkeiten. - [THE THEORY OF SETS AND INFINITE SETS - THE SECOND PAPER]‎

‎Leipzig, B.G. Teubner, 1880. 8vo. Bound in a nice contemporary half calf with five raised gilt bands. Red leather title label with gilt lettering to spine. All edged gilt. In ""Mathematische Annalen"", Band 17, 1880. Entire volume offered. Corners with wear, otherwise a very fine and clean copy. Pp. 355-358. [Entire volume: IV, 576 pp.].‎


‎First printing of Cantor's important second paper of the landmark series consisting of a total of six papers which together constitute the foundation Theory of Sets (Mengenlehre) and Transfinite Set Theory. Cantor here introduces his new Set Theory with which he created an entirely new field of mathematical research and is widely regarded as being one of the most important mathematical conquests in the 19th century. ""Cantor's second paper of 1880 was brief. It continued the bricklaying work of the article of 1879, and it too sought to reformulate old ideas in the context of linear point sets. It also introduced for the first time an embryonic form of Cantor's boldest and most original discovery: the transfinite numbers. As a preliminary to their description, however, Cantor introduced several definitions. He also pointed out that first species sets could be completely characterized by their derived sets."" (Dauben, P. 80)Hilbert spread Cantor's ideas in Germany and praised Cantor's transfinite arithmetic as ""the most astonishing product of mathematical thought, one of the most beautiful realizations of human activity in the domain of the purely intelligible"". He is famously quoted for saying ""No one shall expel us from the paradise which Cantor created for us"". Bertrand Russel described Cantor's work as ""probably the greatest of which the age can boast"".""The major achievement of the ""Grundlagen"" was its presentation of the transfinite ordinal numbers as a direct extension of the real numbers. Cantor admitted that his new ideas might seem strange, even controversial, but he had reached a point in his study of the continuum where the new numbers were indispensable for further progress. Cantor had finally come to the realization that his 'infinite symbols' were not just indices for derived sets of the second species, but could be regarded as actual transfinite numbers that were just as real mathematically as the finite natural numbers."" (Grattan-Guinness, Landmark Writings in Western Mathematics, Pp. 604-5).Dauben: (Cantor)1880d. ‎

‎First printing of Cantor's seminal sixth paper in the landmark series consisting of a total of six papers which together constitute the foundation Theory of Sets (Mengenlehre) and Transfinite Set Theory. Cantor here introduces his new Set Theory with which he created an entirely new field of mathematical research and is widely regarded as being one of the most important mathematical conquests in the 19th century. ""Cantor published a sequel in the following year as a sixth in the series of papers on the Punktmannigfaltigkeitslehre (The present paper). Though it did not bear the title of its predecessor, its sections were continuously numbered, 15 through 19"" it was clearly meant to be taken as a continuation of the earlier 14 sections of the ""Grundlagen"" itself. In searching for a still more comprehensive analysis of continuity, and in the hope of establishing his continuum hypothesis, he focused chiefly upon the properties of perfect sets and introduced as well an accompanying theory of content"" (Dauben, P. 111)Hilbert spread Cantor's ideas in Germany and praised Cantor's transfinite arithmetic as ""the most astonishing product of mathematical thought, one of the most beautiful realizations of human activity in the domain of the purely intelligible"". He is famously quoted for saying ""No one shall expel us from the paradise which Cantor created for us"".

He states that: ""The squareroot of 3 is thus only a symbol for number which has yet to to be found, but is not its definition.

The definitions is, however, satisfactorily given by my method as, say (1.7, 1.73, 1.732, ...). [From the present paper]. First publication of KILLING'S important second paper (of a total of four) in which he laid the foundation of a structure theory for Lie algebras.""In particular he classified all the simple Lie algebras. His method was to associate with each simple Lie algebra a geometric structure known as a root system. He used linear transformation, to study and classify root systems, and then derived the structure of the corresponding Lie algebra from that of the root system.""(Companion Encyclopedia of the History and Philosophy of the Mathematical Sciences)Unfortunately for Killing a myth arose that his work was riddled with error, which later has been proved untrue. ""As a result, many key concepts that are actually due to Killing bear names of later mathematicians, including ""Cartan subalgebra"", ""Cartan matrix"" and ""Weyl group"". As mathematician A. J. Coleman says, ""He exhibited the characteristic equation of the Weyl group when Weyl was 3 years old and listed the orders of the Coxeter transformation 19 years before Coxeter was born.""The theory of Lie groups, after the Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie, is a structure having both algebraic and topological properties, the two being related.‎

‎First printing of Poincaré's paper on his comprehensive theory of complex-valued functions which remain invariant under the infinite, discontinuous group of linear transformations. In 1881 Poincaré had published a few short papers with some initial work on the topic, and in the 1881, Klein invited Poincaré to write a longer exposition of his results to Mathematische Annalen which became the present paper. This, however, turned out to be an invitation to at mathematical dispute:""Before the article went to press, Klein forewarned Poincaré that he had appended a note to it in which he registered his objections to the terminology employed therein. In particular, Klein disputed Poincaré's decision to name the important class of functions possessing a natural boundary circle after Fuch's, a leading exponent of the Berlin school. The importance he attached to this matter, however, went far beyond the bounds of conventional priority dispute. True, Klein was concerned that his own work received sufficient acclaim, but the overriding issue hinged on whether the mathematical community would regard the burgeoning research in this field as an outgrowth of Weierstrassian analysis or the Riemannian tradition."" Parshall. The Emergence of the American Mathematical Research Community. Pp. 184-5.The issue contains the following important contributions by seminal mathematicians:1. Klein, Felix. Ueber eindeutige Functionen mit linearen Transformationen in sich. Pp. 565-68.2. Picard, Emile. Sur un théorème relatif aux surfaces pour lesquelles les coordnnées d´un point quelconque s´experiment par des fonctions abéliennes de deux paramètres. Pp. 578-87.‎
