A Manual of Gier Algol 4. - [FIRST EDITION OF THE GIER ALGOL 4 MANUAL.]
Copenhagen, A/S Regnecentralen, 1967. 8vo. In the original yellow printed wrappers. Former owner's stamp (K. Egelund Larsen) to front- and back-wrapper as well as title-page. 89 pp. A bit of wear to extremities, a bit of soiling to wrappers and a few spots to front wrapper. Internally nice and clean.
First edition of the Gier Algol 4 manual, a users' manual of the Algol 60 compiler system for the Gier computer (known as Gier Algol 4). The Algol 60 programming language was exceedingly influential and innovative and gave rise to many other programming languages, such as BCPL, B, Pascal, Simula and C. It is stated on the title-page that this is the ""Third edition of A Manual of Gier Algol"", which means, not that this is a later printing/edition of the paper, but that it is the third version of Gier Algol, being the 4th paper in the Algol series. ""Where Algol 58 was considered quite properly to be a draft, Algol 60 was appriciated, almost immediately, as a rounded work of art. It was to become a universal tool with which to view, study, and proffer solutions to almost every kind of problem in computation."" (Origins of Cyberspace 813).""The language was designed by a committee of American and European computer scientists to address some of the problems with Fortran programming language. It had significant influence on later programming language design. John Backus developed a method for describing the syntax of the Algol 58 programming language. This was revised and expanded by Peter Nauer for Algol 60 and the resulting approach is known as Backus Naur form."" (O'Regan, Gerard. A brief history of computing, 2008, 80 p.).The Gier Algol 4 was developed by the leading Danish computer scientists at that time: Tove Asmussen, Jørn Jensen, Søren Lauesen, Paul Lindgreen, Per Mondrup, Jørgen Zachariassen and Peter Nauer, the later being a pioneer in computer science" in 2005 he won the ACM A.M. Turing Award for his work on defining the ALGOL 60 programming language. The N in the BNF notation stands for Nauer. (Backus-Naur form).

Mathematische Grundlagen der Quantenmechanik. Mit 4 Abbildungen.
Berlin, Springer, 1932. 8vo. Orig. full yellow cloth. with orig. printed dustjacket. Jacket with a few minor small tears. Small stamp on titlepage and jacket with previous owners name: Niels Arley (1911-94, collaborated with Niels Bohr, professor at Inst. of Theoretical Physics, Univ. of Copenhagen). (8),262,(2) pp. With many annotations in small pencil by Niels Arley throughout.
First edition. In the early years of quantum mechanics several distinct formulations were developed Heisenberg's matrix mechanics, Schrödinger's wave mechanics, and Dirac's more general transformation theory. However these theories lacked strict mathematical rigor (only much later through Schwartz's theory of distributions did Dirac's theory achieve this). Quantum mechanics is one of the fields of science which was fortunate to attract the attention of a mathematician of von Neumann's character. Von Neumann showed, in a paper published 1927, how generalized infinite-dimensional Euclidean spaces (function spaces) and linear operators provide the proper mathematical framework for quantum mechanics. Von Neumann was strongly influenced by Hilbert's program of axiomatizing the fields of science. The axiomatic approach which von Neumann takes in his theory has ever since dominated modern physics and functional analysis, and it was von Neumann who coined the term 'Hilbert space'. Von Neumann's work in this field culminated in this monograph which in addition to the earlier paper includes his important considerations, inspired by Bohr and Heisenberg, regarding the problem of measurement, in particular von Neumann's disproof of hidden variables.

First appearance of this important paper which explains certain aspects of atomic spectra in terms of the quantum mechanics of electron spinIn 1928 and 1929, shortly after von Neumann had begun publishing his landmark papers on the axiomatization of quantum mechanics, he and his friend Wigner (Nobel Laureate in physics, 1963) issued a series of papers on the spectra of v arious atoms, clarifying the data and putting it into rigorous mathematical form. ""Sixty y ears later, in 1989, Hans Bethe was still calling these among the most remarkable of Johnny [v on Neumann's] works"" (Macrae, John von Neumann, p. 146).

Scarce second Latin edition of Newton's ""Optics: or a Treatise of the Reflections, Refractions, Inflections, and Colours of Light. London 1704."", one of the great books in the history of science. ""Newton's Optics did for Light what his Principia had done for Gravitation, namely, placed it on a scientific basis."" (E.W. Brown). The translation was brought to light ""At the request of Newton, Dr. Samuel Clarke prepared a Latin edition of his Optics which appeared 1706, and he was generously presented by Sir Isaac with GBP 500, or GBP 100 for each of his five children, as a token of the appreciation and gratitude of the author. DeMoivre is said to have secured and taken charge of this translation, and to have spared neither time nor trouble in the task. Newton met him every evening at a coffe-house, and when they have finished their work he took De Moivre home with him to spend the evening in philosophical conversation.""(Brewster in his ""Newton"", 1855"").""In the accumulation of optical phenomena from his first paper (the short memoir in Philosophical Transaction, 1672) until the above book (the Optics,..) 33 years later, Newton had gathered explanations to many problems. The rainbow is fully explained and also ""Newton's rings"", produced by pressing the flat side of a plano-convex glass against a double convex lens of long focal lenght, producing rings of alternating brightness and darkness"" his explanation was not valid, as he did not know optical interference. He speculated on the double refraction of Icelandic spar...."" (Dibner in Heralds of Science No 148) - G.J. Gray No 180.

Beschreibung des neuen electrichen oder galvanischen Apparats Alexander Volta's, und einiger wichtigen damit angestellten Versuche.
Halle, Rengerschen Buchhandlung, 1800. Without wrappers as published in ""Annalen der Physik. Herausgegeben von Ludwig Wilhelm Gilbert"", Bd. 6, Drittes Stück. The entire issue offered (=Heft 3). Titlepage to vol. 6. Pp. 249-376. Nicholson's paper: pp. 340-359. Light browning. A faint dampstain to upper right corners on some leaves.
First German edition of Nicholson's famous paper in which he, together with his friend Anthony Carlisle, succeeded in breaking up molecules into the constituent atoms of hydrogen and oxygen. They thus established the usefulness of the converse of the voltaic cell, by using electricity to produce chemical actions.""On March 20 of that year (1820) Volta wrote to Banks, president ofthe Royal Society, informing him of his construction of an electric battery. Nicholson heard of this and with the aid of a friend built his own Voltaic pile by May 2. It was the first in England. Nicholson's great contribution was to place wires attached to the two ends of the pile in water. He found that with the current flowing, bubbles of gaz (hydrogen and oxygen) ere given off. He had ""electolyzed"" water, breaking up the molecules into the individual elements. He thus reversed the demonstration of Cavendish, that hydrogen and oxygen could unite to form water. This was the first demonstration that an electric current could bring about a chemical reaction - the reverse of olta's demonstration that a chemical action could bring about an electrical current.""(Asimov).
