‎Recueil de traités de physique-mathématique par Joseph Fourier, dont la Théorie du mouvement de la chaleur dans les corps solides‎

‎Paris, Journal de l'Ecole Polytechnique et Mémoires de l'Académie des sciences, 1797-1833, , , demi-chagrin havane, dos à faux nerfs, tête dorée [H. Durand], Cinq extraits, dont quatre concernent la théorie de Joseph Fourier sur la chaleur. Le traité qui ouvre le recueil traite de la statique. Fourier exposa sa célèbre Théorie de la chaleur, définissant les lois mathématiques auxquelles obéit cet élément, pour la première fois devant l'Institut en 1807, puis en 1811. "Cette théorie formera désormais l'une des branches les plus importantes de la physique générale" (En français dans le texte). La Théorie du mouvement de la chaleur ici présentée dans des tirés à part en édition originale (2e et 3e pièces du recueil), forme la première mouture de la Théorie analytique qui fut publiée en 1822. C'est la "copie littérale de la pièce déposée aux archives de l'Institut le 28 septembre 1811... Elle contient tous les principes fondamentaux d'une nouvelle branche de la physique-mathématique : il était nécessaire d'exposer ces principes avant de publier les recherches entreprises depuis par l'auteur sur le même sujet". Elle est accompagnée du titre étonnant sur la chaleur du globe terrestre et "des espaces planétaires". Les pièces sont reliées dans l'ordre suivant : 1. "Mémoire sur la statique, contenant la démonstration du principe des vitesses virtuelles, et la théorie des momens". Extrait du Journal de l'école polytechnique, Ve cahier, 1797. Pages 20 à 60. Important mémoire qui serait tiré, selon Arago, de l'une des leçons de Fourier à l'École polytechnique. 2 et 3. "Théorie du mouvement de la chaleur dans les corps solides". Extrait des Mémoires de l'Académie des sciences, tome IV, année 1819 (impression en 1824). Pages 185 à 556. [Et la] "Suite du mémoire intitulé Théorie du mouvement de la chaleur dans les corps solides". Extrait des Mémoires de l'Académie royale des sciences, tome V, années 1821-1822 (impression en 1826). Pages 153 à 246. Premières éditions. Sans la planche dépliante qui accompagne le premier mémoire. 4. "Mémoire sur la température du globe terrestre et des espaces planétaires". Extrait des Mémoires de l'Académie des sciences, vol. 7, 1827. Pages 569 à 622. Reparution de ce mémoire qui avait été publié en 1824 dans les Annales de Chimie et de Physique (vol. 27, 1824). Fourier applique ici sa théorie de la chaleur à la température du globe terrestre et "des espaces planétaires", en distinguant trois causes de cette température : les rayons du Soleil, la température de l'espace , la chaleur interne datant de la formation de la Terre. 5. "Mémoire d'analyse sur le mouvement de la chaleur dans les fluides". Extrait des Mémoires de l'Académie des sciences, tome XII, 1833. Pages 507 à 530. Première édition ; mémoire lu le 4 septembre 1820 et jamais imprimé auparavant. Joseph Fourier (1768-1830) fut successivement titulaire de la chaire d'analyse mathématique à l'École polytechnique tout juste fondée, secrétaire perpétuel de l'Académie créée par Bonaparte au Caire, préfet de l'Isère, membre de l'Académie des sciences, puis de l'Académie française. Ses recherches scientifiques se sont avant tout portées sur les mathématiques. Étiquette ex-libris d'Henri Viellard et cachets de l'Institut catholique de Paris annulé. Étiquette en pied du dos.

‎Scarce first edition (with the reprinted titlepage 1831 instead of 1830).Fourier's ""Analyse des equations determines"" constitutes a highly important work on the theory of equations, a work which occupied Fourier throughout his life and the last thing that he wrote.

‎Analyse des équations déterminées‎

‎Paris, Firmin Didot, 1830, in-4, de (4), XXIV, 258 pages et 1 planche, demi-chagrin marron postérieur, tête dorée, Très rare premier état à la date de 1830. Edition originale de la première, et seule partie parue, de l'ultime oeuvre mathématiques de Fourier publiée posthume par son ami Navier. "In constrast with the famous work on heat diffusion, Fourier's interest in the theory of equations is remarkably little know. Yet it has a much longer personal history, for it began in his sixteenth year when he discovered a new proof of Descarte's rule of sign and was just as much in progress at the time of his death [...]. Fourier's proof was based on multiplying f(x) by (x + p), thus creating a new polynomial which contained one more sign in its sequence and one more positive (or negative) root, according as p was less (or greater) than zero, and showing that the number of preservations (or variations) in the new sequence was not inscreased relative to the old sequence. Hence the number of variations (or preservations) is increased by at least one, and the theorem follows. The details of the proof may be seen in any textbook dealing with the rule, for Fourier's youthful achievement quickly became the standard proof, even if its authorship appears to be viertually unknown[...]". "Fourier appears to have proved his own theorem while in his teens and he sent a paper to the Academy in 1789. However, it disappeared in the thrumoil of the year in Paris, and the pressure of administrative and other scientific work delayed publication of the resultats untiel the late 1810's. Then he became involved in a priority row with Ferdinand Budan de Bois-Laurent, a part-time mathematician who had previously published similar but inferior result. At the time of his death, Fourier was trying to prepare thse and many other result for a book to be called Analyse des équations déterminées ; he had almost finished only the first two of its seven "livres". His friend Navier edited it for publication in 1831 [sic], inserting an introduction to establish from attested documents (including the delayed 1789 paper) Fourier's priority on results which had by then become famous. Perhaps Fourier was aware that he would not live to finish the work, for he wrote a synopsis of the complete book which also appeared in this edition. The synopsis indicated his wide interests in the subject, of which the most important not yet mentioned were various means of distinguishing between real and imaginary roots, refinements of the Newton-Raphson method of approximating to the root of an equation, extensions to Daniel Bernoulli's rule for the limiting value of the ratio of successive terms of a recurrent series, and the method of solution and applications of linear inequalities. Fourier's remarkable understanding of the last subject makes him the great anticipator of linear programming."

‎Recueil factice de travaux 10 travaux, pour la plupart extraits de l'Histoire de l'Académie Royale des Sciences et de l'Institut, dont le rapport sur les tontines‎

‎, 1819-1831, in-4, pagination multiple, demi-chagrin brun, dos à faux nerfs [H. Durand], Fourier fut l'un des savants qui participa à la reconstitution de l'Académie des Sciences en 1817 ; il en devint le secrétaire perpétuel en 1822. Il publia plusieurs travaux au sein des Mémoires de l'Académie, dont ceux ici présentés, notamment le rapport de la commission dont Fourier faisait partie, avec Lacroix et Poisson, au sujet des tontines : ce travail suscita un grand intérêt à l'époque où il parut et il fut perçu comme oeuvre de bien public. En effet, Fourier y dénonçait ces groupe d'épargnants percevant des intérêts viagers lors du décès de l'un des associés ; d'une part, concluait-il, ce système implique la part funeste du hasard en lieu et place de ce qui devrait être le fruit du travail, d'autre part il encourage la jouissance personnelle et le retrait de la société. Les pièces extraites de l'Histoire de l'Académie sont reliées dans l'ordre suivant : 1.

‎First printing of this importent paper dealing with the ""Green-House-Effect"". It is the second paper from 1824 in which Fourier investigates the connection between the temperature of the earth and radiation. Fourier's analysis in these two papers is widely recognized as the first proposal of what is now known as the greenhouse effect theory.In the 1820s Fourier calculated that an object the size of the Earth and at its distance from the Sun should be considerably colder than the planet actually is if warmed only by the effects of incoming solar radiation. He examined various possible sources of the additional observed heat in articles published in 1824 (the paper offered is the second of the papers published 1824) and 1827. While he ultimately suggested that interstellar radiation might be responsible for a large portion of the additional warmth, Fourier's consideration of the possibility that the Earth's atmosphere might act as an insulator of some kind is widely recognized as the first proposal of what is now known as the greenhouse effect theory.‎

‎First edition of Fourier's seminal main work, an epochal achievement in the history of science, being ""the first outstanding publication on the conduction of heat"" (Milestones of Science) and the ""source of all modern methods in mathematical physics involving the integration of partial differential equations in problems where boundary values are fixed."" (Cajori). ""Fourier demonstrated that problems in mathematical physics can be solved for any complex condition when one knows how to solve the simple periodic initial condition."" (Milestones of Science). The great achievements that Fourier presents us with in the present work can be seen as twofold, treating first the formulation of the physical problem as boundary-value problems in linear partial differential equations, which extended rational mechanics to fields outside those Newton had defined in his ""Principia"", and second ""the powerful mathematical toold he invented for the solution of the equations, which yielded a long series of descendants and raised problems in mathematical analysis that motivated much of the leading work in that field for the rest of the century and beyond.""

Ørsted calls Seebech's observations ""the most beautiful of the discoveries which have as yet grown out of mine (his discovery of electromagnetism three years before)""""We learn from his letters that thet the experiments on which the paper was founded had taken him 3 weeks, a space of time which evidently much too short for the performance of the work" thus Ørsted himself points out a fundamental flaw in the experiments, but there has been no time to remedy it. The work is of interest, both by what has been gained through it, and by what does not plainly appear" in some of its results it is the precursor of Ohm's law and by its defects it shows how great was the feat of the actual discovery of this law.""(Kirstine Meyer).The offered issue contains further Poisson ""Sur le Phénomene des anneaux colorés"", pp. 337-347., Ørsted ""Sur le Multiplacateur électro-magnetique de M.

‎All first edition and first appearances of papers forecasting the more elaborated theories which he published in his famous work ""La Therorie analytique de la chaleur. 1822"". His analytical mathematical method, that any continous function can be represented as a sum of sine and cosine curves, is here applied to physical problems f.i. his treatment of the warming (and cooling) of the earth and terrestrial temperatures (f.i. the papers offred here no.1, 2, 4, 5 a. 6). The theory of terrestrial temperatures played a central role in Fourier's mathematical physics..An. 1. Description of the 4to volume, which was afterwards published in 1822 without the chapters on radiant heat, the solar heat as it effects the earth, the comparison of analysis with the experiment, and the history of rise and progress of the theory of heat. As such the paper contains importent applications and results not described in ""Theorie analytique...1822.""An. 2. This is a mathematiccal sketch on the sine law of emission of heat from a surface. The authors paradox on the hypothesis of equal intensity of emission in all directions, is here proved.An. 3. An elegant physical treatise on the discoveries of Newton, Pictet, Wells, Wollaston, Leslie and Prevost.An. 4. A Sketch of a memoir, mathematical and descriptive, on the waste of the earth's initial heat.An. 5. A descriptive memoir, read before the Academy 20. a. 29. Sept 1824 and later published in ""Memoires de l'Academy..."", Tome VII, 1827.An. 6. An elementary analytical account of surface-emissions and absorption based on the principle of equilibrium of temperature. This paper comes with Poisson's ""Observations relatives à un Mémoire sur l'Equilibre d'une masse fluide, inséré dans la Transactions philosophique de cette année."" Pp. 225-236.An. 7. An elementary analysis of emissionn, absorption and reflexion by walls of enclosure uniformly heated. At p. 364, Fopurier, promises a ""Theorie physique de la chaleur"" to contain the applications of the ""Theorie analytique"" omitted in teis work published 1822.‎

‎Sur quelques nouvelles Expériences thermoélectriques faites par M. le Baron Fourier et M. Oersted. (Notice lue à l'Academie des Sciences par M. Oersted). - [COINING THE TERM ""THERMO-ELECTRICITY"" AND INVENTING THE ""THERMO-ELECTRICAL PILE""]‎

‎(Paris, Crochard, 1823). 8vo. Without wrappers as extracted from: ""Annales de Chimie et de Physique, Par MM. Gay-Lussac et Arago."", Vol. 22, pp. 375-389.‎

‎First appearance of this paper, revealing the results of experiments with the galvanic elements, using pairs of small antimony and bismuth bars welded in series, which Oersted performed together with Fourier during his visit to Paris. This constitutes the invention of the first thermo-electrical pile. Oersted and Fourier had found that heat had a significant effect upon the performance of the galvanic element. - ""Seebeck seems to have had another theory about this. However, I have experimented with the matter, and found the conjecture correct. I believe that this discovery will be of far-reaching consequence. The laws for this new effects are, I suppose, in reality the same as for the galvanic battery"" yet this looks so different that I have been obliged to spend a great deal of my time during the last fortnight in discovering and defining them..."". In a letter of somewhat later date to prince Christian, he states that he has made the experiments ""in conjunction with Fourier, the secretary of the mathematical department of the Institute"". Oersted, when reading this paper to the Academy on 31st of March 1823, proposed the name ""thermo-electric"" for these currents, a name which has since been adopted everywhere. Ronalds Catalogue p. 374. - Ørsted, Works II, p. 272. Stitched together with this paper is ""Extrait d'une Lettre de M. Ampere à M. Faraday"". Pp. 389-400. First printing. Dealing with electricity.‎
