Envoi de l'auteur à Maurice Druon et à son épouse: "Pour Madeleine et Maurice Druon, vers la médecine du XXIe siècle, avec l'amitié fidèle de Jean Bernard". L'auteur et le dédicataire étaient tous deux académiciens. Maurice Druon (1918-2009), auteur notamment de la célèbre saga historique des Rois maudits, fut élu à l'Académie Française en 1968. Il en devint le Secrétaire Perpétuel, de 1985 à 1999. L'auteur, quant à lui, fut élu à l'Académie Française en 1975, au fauteuil de Marcel Pagnol. Le professeur Jean Bernard, éminent hématologue et oncologue, présida le Comité National d'Ethique de 1983 à 1993. Etat très satisfaisant (couv. lég. frottées, bon état par ailleurs) pour cet exemplaire d'une origine prestigieuse.

Édition originale de «l'ouvrage de référence sur la théorie des probabilités» qui « a énoncé les principes fondamentaux du calcul des probabilités et a été le premier à suggérer que cette théorie pouvait s'étendre au-delà des frontières des mathématiques pour s'appliquer aux affaires civiques, morales et économiques » (Norman). Cet ouvrage « a constitué la première tentative systématique visant à établir la théorie des probabilités sur des bases solides, et il reste encore aujourd'hui le fondement de nombreuses applications pratiques reposant sur les probabilités : les assurances, les statistiques et les tables mathématiques de fécondité » (PMM). L’Appendice, rédigée en français, explique les différentes stratégies du jeu de paume et les probabilités de victoire dans différentes situations. Bernoulli aborde les joueurs de force inégale, les parties à deux contre un et d’autres permutations du jeu. Bien complet des tableaux dépliants aux pages 172, 306 et 24 de la seconde partie. Très bel exemplaire. Norman 216; PMM 179.

First appearance of a founding paper in the theory of elastic curves. ""Importent also is his last work, on the resistance of elastic bodies (1705)."" (DSB II, p.49 s).""During the last quarter of the seventeenth century and the beginning of the eighteenth centuries a rapid development of the infinitesimal calculus took place. Started on the Continent by Leibnitz...it progresssed principally by the work of Jacob and John Bernoulli. In trying to expand the field of application of this new mathematical tool, they discussed several examples from mechanics and physics. One such example treated by Jacob Bernouilli..concerned the shape of the deflection curve of an elastic bar and in this way he began an importent chapter inthe mechanics of elastic bodies.""(Timoshenko ""History of Strenght of Materials"" p. 25-26).

First publication of Jacob Bernoulli influential dissertation in which he published the first correct solution to the isoperimetric problem both Johann Bernoulli and Leibniz had been seeking without success. The paper influenced both Leonhard Euler in writing his first research paper and British mathematician Brook Taylor to begin a dispute which has later been referred to as Taylor versus Continental mathematicians. ""It [the dissertation] was considered as a prodigy of sagacity and invention: and indeed, if the time be considered, it will not be too much to assert, that a more difficult problem never was solved."" (Bossut. A general history of mathematics. 341 p.).The isoperimetric problem is an ancient problem which dates back to antiquity and can be described as which curve, if any, maximizes or minimizes the area of its enclosed region?Euler, who had been taught by Johann Bernoulli, published his first paper in 1726 which was a note on the construction of isochronous curves in a resistant medium.DSB II, 48b.The following papers by Johann Bernoulli are also contained in the present volume:1.

First German edition of this classic paper in chemistry in which Berzelius presented his system of nomenclature to the scientific world. The paper was first preseted in French ""Essay sur la nomenclature chimique"" in Journal de Physique the year before (1811).""Of his contributions, moreover, to the development of the atomic theory and the advancement of chemical science, not the least valuable was the introduction of a chemical symbolism which, with slight modifivcations, is in use at the present day. By giving his symbols a quantitative meaning - the symbol of an element representing one atomic proportion by weight - it was possible ""to show briefly and clearly the number of elementary atoms in each compound and, after the determination of their relative weights, present the results of each analysis in a si8mple and easely retained manner."". This symbolism was speedily adopted on the Continent but, en England, only after some considerable time.""(Findley ""A Hundred Year of Chemistry"", p. 14). - Holmberg, Bibliografi öfver Berzelius, 1812:7).
