First edition. Heyting studied under Brouwer and became the leading figure of the 'Intutionistic School' in Logic and Mathematics. His work on Intuitionism and Proof Theory - the item offered - is a concise and well written survey in which the viewpoints of intuitionism and formalism are clearly described and contrasted. (A.S. Troelstra).

First printing of a groundbreaking work in Number Theory. Edward Waring (1734-98) stated, in his ""Meditationes Algebraicae"" (1770), the theorem known now as ""Waring's Theorem"", that every integer is either a cube or the sum of at most nine cubes"" also every integer is either a fourth power of the sum of at most 19 fourth powers. He conjectured also that every positive integer can be expressed as the sum of at most r kth powers, the r depending on k. These theoremes were not proven by him, but by David Hilbert in the paper offered.Hilbert proves that for every integer n, there exists an integer m such that every integer is the sum of m nth powers. This expands upon the hypotheis of Edward Waring that each positive integer is a sum of 9 cubes (n=3, m=9) and of 19 fourth powers (n= 4, m=19).This issue also contains F. Hausdorff's ""Zur Hilbertschen Lösung des Waringschen Problems"", pp. 301-305.(Se Kline p. 609).
Berlin, Julius Springer, 1923. Later full cloth. In: ""Mathematische Annalen begründet durch Alfred Clebsch und Carl Neumann."", 88. Bd. (4),312 pp. Hilbert's paper: pp. 151-165. The whole volume offered.
First edition as a continuation of his paper from 1922 ""Neubegründung der Mathematik. Erste Mitteilung"".""This articlee, delivered as a lecture to the deutsche Naturforscher Gesellschaft in Leipzig, September 1922, is a sequel to (neubegründung...), and brings Hilbert's proof theory to maturity. Hilbert here introduces several technical refinements and clarification to his theory. Specifically: (i) he improves the formal system by adding a special sign for formal negation...(ii) he refines his account of the distinction between formal language and the metalanguage....(iii) he outlines a consistency proof for an elementary, quantifier-free formal system of number-theory. (iv) he begins to extend his proof theory to analysis and set theory....sketches a strategy for proving the consistency of a version of Zermel's axiom of choice for real numbers...(etc. etc). (William Ewald in from Kant to Hilbert, vol. II, pp.1134-35).

First printing of Hilbert's paper in which he introduced The Hilbert Matrix. In linear algebra, a Hilbert matrix is a square matrix with entries being the unit fractions. The Hilbert matrix is symmetric and positive definite and is also totally positive (meaning the determinant of every submatrix is positive). The Hilbert matrix is an example of a Hankel matrix.

Scarce second edition of a work which went through 15 editions in 100 years as one of the most influential mathematical publications of the 20th century. ""The development of Hilberts Grundlagen der Geometrie was not finished with the first edition. The complete content was continously revised, especially during his lifetime. He considered new results, gave hints in articles and improved his own formulations."" (Michael Toepell in Landmarks Writings in Western Mathematics). This second edition is nearly 2 times larger than the first edition, expanded with 5 supplements (Anhänge).

Heft."" Entire issue offered. Internally very fine and clean. [Hilbert:] Pp. 445-71. [Entire issue: Pp. 445-572].
First printing of Hilbert's obituary over Minkowki. They had a life long friendship.""Minkowski was born of German parents who returned to Germany and settled in Königsberg [now Kaliningrad, R.S.F.S.R.] when the boy was eight years old. His older brother Oskar became a famous pathologist. Except for three semesters at the University of Berlin, he received his higher education at Köningsberg, where he became a lifelong friend of both Hilbert, who was a fellow student, and the slightly older Hurwitz, who was beginning his professorial career. Hilbert’s education at Königsberg and his close friendship with Hermann Minkowski both stimulated his interest in physics."" (DSB).

First edition of Hilbert's obituary over Herbert Minkowski. Minkowski, Hilbert's ""best and truest friend"" (Reid, Hilbert P. 121), died prematurely of a ruptured appendix in 1909. Minkowski and Hilbert, both natives of Königsberg would exercise a reciprocal influence over each other throughout their scientific careers.

First edition and first printing of Hilbert's importent proof of the possibility of the non-euclidean parallel-construction, in which he showes that only with the aid of ruler and compass it is possible to draw with the samer instruments, the common perpendicular to two lines which are not parallel and do not meet each other (the non-intersecting lines), the common parallel to the two lines which bound an angle"" and the line which is perpendicular to one of the bounding lines of an acute angle and parallel to the other, and how these constructions can be carried out. (Bonola: Non-Euclidean Geometry). The paper was reprinted in the second edition of his ""Grundlagen der Geometrie"" as Appendix III. (Sommerville: 1903 p. 196).

First English edition of Hilbert's ""Grundlagen der Geometrie"" from 1899, one of the most influential publications in 2oth Century mathematics.Throughout the 19th century geometry was developed far beyond our intuitive conception of space" hyperbolic geometry was discovered by Gauss, Bolyai, and Lobachevsky and elliptic geometry by Riemann. However, Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry still involved an intuitive idea about the concepts 'point', 'line', 'lies on', 'between', etc. In his 'Grundlagen' Hilbert set out to give a strictly formal formulation of geometry were points, lines, planes are nothing more than abstract symbols and concepts as 'lies on' are simply algebraic relations between these symbols. Through his method Hilbert could analyse independence and completeness of the axioms for geometry and he presented a new smaller set of axioms for Euclidean geometry. It can not be said that the 'Grundlagen' contains new and surprising discoveries, its importance lies in the great influence which Hilbert's method had on all fields of mathematics, and even other sciences as physics, chemistry, and biology. The 'Grundlagen' initiated a whole new paradigm shift and eventually evolved mathematics, throughout the 20th century, into a network of axiomatic formal systems.
