‎First appearance of this outstanding contribution to mathematics, announcing his invention and developments of the ALGEBRA OF MATRICES, what is now called the Cayley-Hamilton theorem for square matrices of any order. ""The subject originated in a memoir of 1858 (the paper offered) and grew directly out of simple observations on the way in which the transformations (linear) of the theory of algebraic invariants are combined...a distinctive feature of these rules is that multiplication is not commutative...we get different results according to the order in which we do the multiplication... (it) seems about as far from anything of scientific or practical use as anything could possible be. Yet sixty seven years after Cayley's invented it, HEISENBERG in 1925 recognized in the algebra of matrices exactly the tool which he neede for his revolutionary work in QUANTUM MECHANICS.""(Bell, Men of Mathematics).""It was in connection with the study of invariants under linear transformation that Cayley first introduced matrices to simplify the notation involved. Here he gave some basic notions. This was followed by his first major paper on the subject ""A Memoir on the Theory of Matrices."", the paper offered here. (Kline, Mathematical Thought...p. 806).‎

‎Fitrst appearance of Cayley's famous paper on the Four-Colour-Problem""The four-colour map problem (to prove that on any map only four colours are needed to separate countries) is celebrated in mathematics. It resisted the attempts of able mathematicians for over a century and when it was successfully proved in 1976 the ‘computer proof’ was controversial: it did not allow scrutiny in the conventional way. At the height of his influence in 1878, Arthur Cayley had drawn attention to the problem at a meeting of the London Mathematical Society and it was duly ‘announced’ in print. (the paper offered). He made a short contribution himself and he encouraged the young A. B. Kempe to publish a paper on the subject. Though ultimately unsuccessful, the work of Cayley and Kempe in the late 1870s brought valuable insights..... Francis Galton is revealed as the ‘go-between’ in suggesting Cayley publish his observations in Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society."" (Tony Crilly).The Four-Colour-Theorem was proved in 1976 by Kenneth Appel and Wolfgang Haken. It was the first major mathematical theorem to be proved using a computer.‎

‎Dans l'Italie des VIe-VIIIe si cles, d chir e entre Lombards et Byzantins, l'hagiographie fut la forme litt raire la plus pratiqu e, et sans doute aussi la plus commun ment appr ci e. Rome et en Italie du Sud, clercs et moines s'affair rent composer en latin, ou traduire du grec en latin, des textes qui t moignaient de leur d votion pour les martyrs du temps des pers cutions. Leurs r cits romanesques, de qualit et d'int r t tr s divers, accompagn rent ainsi l'entr e de la p ninsule dans le Moyen ge. Ils aliment rent la curiosit des p lerins et des fid les pour les saints anciens, comme pour ceux, venus d'Orient, dont le culte avait pris plus r cemment racine en Italie. Ce gisement documentaire, vestige inestimable d'une poque contrast e et parfois dramatique, est toutefois d'un abord difficile : les pi ces concern es constituent un ensemble complexe de dossiers enchev tr s, de textes anonymes, souvent tr s approximativement dat s ou localis s. Dans la continuit des chapitres pr c demment publi s sur l'hagiographie latine d'Italie dans la collection Hagiographies, le pr sent ouvrage propose donc un r pertoire critique des textes produits Rome et dans le Mezzogiorno, entre 550 (r tablissement de la Pr fecture d'Italie) et 750 (chute de l'exarchat). Une trentaine de dossiers y font l'objet de recherches a novo, et ces analyses d taill es permettent d'esquisser les contours litt raires et historiques d'une production hagiographique qui fut ensuite largement pl biscit e par les diteurs de l gendiers m di vaux.‎

‎Brueg(H)el Phenomenon, Paintings by Pieter Bruegel the Elder and Pieter Brueghel the Younger with a Special Focus on Technique and Copying Practice.‎

‎, Brepols, 2012 Paperback, 3 volume set in cardboard box, 1061 pp., 230 x 290 mm, Languages: English, As new (signed and dedication by both authors on first page) ISBN 9782930054148.‎

‎The fascination exerted by the works of the illustrious Pieter Bruegel the Elder in the decades following his death in 1569 is matched only by the intense interest they generate today. At the end of the sixteenth century and in the first half of the seventeenth, the most ambitious art collectors fought over the few paintings by the master that were still on the market. This setting was the catalyst for the appearance of copies and pastiches ? and even deliberate forgeries. It was then that the elder son of Pieter Bruegel, known as Pieter Brueghel the Younger (whose name is spelled ?Brueghel? here, conforming to the signature that he adopted during the initial phase of his career) emerged as a legitimate successor, producing astonishingly faithful replicas of his father?s paintings. This was all the more surprising given that they were often made after works that were by then dispersed in diverse and sometimes inaccessible private collections. Operating within the context of a sizeable workshop, Brueghel supplied the market with hundreds of copies of variable quality according to demand. This enterprise merited re-evaluation from a technical point of view: how were such vast numbers of copies produced in practice? This three-volume book explores the intriguing Brueg[H]el phenomenon through the two artists? painting practices. The technical aspects of their works are investigated in a detective-like manner and are strikingly elucidated with a wealth of colour illustrations. The reader will come to understand the accomplished practitioner behind the genius that is Bruegel the Elder and the working procedures of his foremost emulator?s workshop. Furthermore, Brueghel the Younger?s exceptional qualities as a painter are singled out from those of his workshop production. The book also reveals fresh discoveries on the father?s creative process through the study of his son?s copies. ‎
