Beschreibung

2 volumes, 8vo (23.5 cm), XIII, 386 pp; X, 208 pp. Contemporary cloth-backed boards with small corners, spine of volume 1 mute, gilt-lettered spine of volume 2, original wrappers bound in volume 2 (cloth of volume 1 slightly stained, binding somewhat rubbed at extremities, half-title of volume 1 creased, pencil ownership entries on front free end-papers). Published posthumously, the first edition of lectures on the development of mathematics in the 19th century is a book by the eminent German mathematician Felix Klein (1842-1925). The book presents Klein's analysis of the development of mathematics during the 19th century, particularly in relation to the rise of non-Euclidean geometries and the development of group theory. Klein's work on the development of mathematics was important in the history of the field and helped to establish the foundations of modern mathematics. In the book, he discusses the work of prominent mathematicians of the time, including Riemann, Gauss, and Lobachevsky, and their contributions to the field. He also introduces the concept of the Erlangen Program, which is a framework for understanding the various geometries in terms of their underlying symmetries. The book is still in print, but the first edition is uncommon. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 008236
