(source : Wikipedia) - En 1872, à l'âge de 23 ans, Klein obtient une chaire à l'Université d'Erlangen9 grâce à l'aide providentielle de Clebsch, qui voit en lui l'un des futurs plus grands mathématiciens de son temps. Selon la coutume, il doit donner une conférence inaugurale. Il prépare un texte qui circule initialement entre un nombre restreint de lecteurs, sous le titre de Vergleichende Betrachtungen über neuere geometrische Forschungenn. Il s'agit du fameux Programme d'Erlangen dans lequel il propose un point de vue révolutionnaire sur la géométrie. Bien que ses qualités d'enseignant soient appréciées à Erlangen, il n'a au début que deux élèves dans sa classe. Dans un premier temps, le Programme d'Erlangen n'est pas bien accueilli, sans doute parce que le manuscrit n'a pas bénéficié d'une large diffusionn. Félix Klein ne reste que trois ans à Erlangen il n'a pas beaucoup d'élèves , mais a assez de temps à consacrer à la recherche. En 1872, Clebsch succombe à la diphtérie à l'âge de 39 ans. Klein s'occupe alors de la publication de la revue Mathematische Annalen responsabilité qu'il assumera presque jusqu'à la fin de sa vie et parvient à en faire la plus importante publication mathématique de l'époque, ce qui contribue à renforcer son aura scientifique à l'échelle internationale. En 1875, une nouvelle chaire lui est proposée à Munich (source : Wikipedia) couverture à peine jaunie sinon propre, intérieur frais et propre, signature de l'ancien propriétaire sur la page de titres, cela reste un bon exemplaire

First edition. In these groundbreaking papers Klein established that if Euclidean geometry is consistent then non-Euclidean geometry is consistent as well and he introduces the adjectives ""parabolic"", ""elliptic"", and ""hyperbolic"" for the respective geometries of Georg Riemann, of Nicolai Lobachevsky, of C.F. Gauss and Janos Bolyai. ""Cayley's idea (that metrical geometry is part of projective geometry) was taken over by Felix Klein (1849-1925) and generalized so as to include the non-Euclidan geometries. Klein, a professor at Göttingen, was one of the lading mathematicians in Germany during the last part of the nineeeeteenth and first part of the twentieth century. During the years 1869-70 he larned the work of Lobatchevsky, Bolyai, von Staudt, and Cayley"" however, even in 1871he did not know Laguerre's result. It seemed to him to be posible to subsume the non-Euclidean geometries, hyperbolic, and double elliptic geometry, under projective geometry byexploiting Cayley's idea. He gave a sketch og his thoughts in a paper of 1871, and then developed them in two papers (1871 a. 1873, the ppers offered here). Klein was the first to obtain models of non-Euclidean geometries.""

First printing of Felix Klein's paper on how to solve fifth and sixth degree equations. Klein considered equations of degree > 4, and was especially interested in using transcendental methods to solve the general equation of the fifth degree. Building on the methods of Hermite and Kronecker, he produced similar results to those of Brioschi and went on to completely solve the problem by means of the icosahedral group. This work led him to write a series of papers on elliptic modular functions, the present paper being one of the last and concluding.As editor of Mathematische Annalen Felix Klein set himself the task of collecting previously unstudied material of Gauss. He organized a campaign to collect materials and enlisted experts in special fields to study them. From 1898 until 1922 he rallied support with fourteen reports, published under the title ""Bericht über den Stand der Herausgabe von Gauss' Werken,"". The present being the sixth.

First edition of these 2 papers which unifies the Euclidean and Non-Euclidean geometries, by reducing the differences to expressions of the ""distance function"", and introducing the concepts ""parabolic"", ""elliptic"" and ""hyperbolic"" for the geometries of Euclid, Riemann and of Lobatschewski, Gauss and Bolyai. He further eliminates Euclid's parallel-axiom from projective geometry, as he shows that the quality of being parallel, is not invariant under projections.Klein build his work on Cayley's ""distant measure"" saying, that ""Metrical properties are not properties of the figure per se but of the figure in relation to the absolute."" This is Cayley's idea of the general projective determination of metrics. The place of the metric concept in projective geometry and the greater generality of the latter were described by Cayley as ""Metrical geometry is part of projective geometry."" Cayley's idea was taken over by Felix Klein....It seemed to him to be possible to subsume the non-Euclidean geometries, hyperbolic and double elliptic geometry, under projective geometry by exploring Cayley's idea.

First printing of Felix Klein's two hugely influential papers in which he for the first time presented the first recognizable modern ""dessins d'enfants"". Klein called these diagrams Linienzüge (German, plural of Linienzug ""line-track"", also used as a term for polygon).Dedekind did in 1877 publish a paper in which part of the mathematical background for the ""dessins d'enfants"" was present. It was, however, Klein that fully explored, both mathematical and visual, its potential.

First printing of Klein's important contribution to non-Euclidean geometry. Klein saw a fundamental unity in the subject of non-Euclidean geometry. Rather than a heterogeneous collection of abstruse mathematics, non-Euclidean geometry was in Klein's view a ""concrete discipline"".For over two millennia geometry had been the study of theorems which could be proved from Euclid's axioms. However, in the beginning of the 19th century it was proved that there exist other geometries than that of Euclid. Motivated by the emergence of the new geometries of Bolyai, Lobachevsky, and Riemann, Klein proposed to define a geometry, not by a set of axioms, but instead in terms of the transformations that leave it invariant" according to Klein, a geometric structure consists of a space together with a particular group of transformations of the space. A valid theorem in that particular geometry is one that holds under this group of transformations. This controversial idea did not only give a more systematic way of classifying the different geometries, but also gave birth to new geometric structures such as manifolds.
