De universali Principio aequilibrii & motus, in Vi viva reperto, deque nexu inter Vim Vivam & Sctionem, utriusque Minimo, Dissertatio. (+) ...continuata & finita. (2 Parts).
Leipzig, Gleditsch & Lanckis, 1751. 4to. No wrappers. In: ""Nova Acta Eruditorum, Anno MDCCLI"", March- Issue, Pars I-II. Entire issue in 2 parts offered. With titlepage to the volume 1751. Pp. 97-192. Koenig's paper: pp. 125-135 a. pp. 162-176. With 2 engraved plates. Titlepage with 2 stamps and a bit soiled. Leaves as usual a bit browned.
First printing of this important paper in which Koenig set forth his ""Law of least Action"". The law states that the kinetic energy of a system of mass points is equal to the sum of the kinetic energy of the motion of the system relative to the center of gravity and of the kinetic energy of the total mass of the system considered as a whole, which moves as the center of gravity of the system.""While still in Franeker, Koenig wrote the draft of his important essay on the principle of least action, which was directed against Maupertuis. The controversy touched off by this work, which was published in March 1751, resulted in perhaps the ugliest of all the famous scientific disputes. Its principal figures were Koenig, Maupertuis, Euler, Frederick II, and Voltaire" and, as is well known, it left an unseemly stain on Euler’s otherwise untarnished escutcheon. The quarrel occupied Koenig’s last years almost completely" moreover, he had been ill for several years before it started. Koenig emerged the moral victor from this affair, in which all the great scientists of Europe—except Maupertuis and Euler—were on his side. The later finding of Kabitz2 testifies to Koenig’s irreproachable character.""(DSB).

First printing Kolmogorav's famous paper in the convergence of sums of independent random variables.""Kolmogorov's publishing his celebrated three-series theorem (the present), which gives necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence of sums of independent random variables, to his discovering necessary and sufficient conditions for the strong law of large numbers and to his proving the law of the iterated logarithm for sums of independent random variables. His 1931 paper, on continuous time Markov processes with continuous states, is widely regarded as having laid the foundations of modern diffusion theory. His 1949 work, Limit Distributions for Sums of Independent Random Variables, co-authored with B. V. Gnedenko, was for many years the standard source on the central limit theorem and surrounding topics."" (DSB)Andrey Nikolaevich Kolmogorov was a Soviet mathematician, preeminent in the 20th century, who advanced various scientific fields, among them probability theory, topology, intuitionistic logic, turbulence, classical mechanics and computational complexity.

Souvenirs d'enfance de Sophie Kovalewsky écrits par elle-même et suivis de sa biographie par Mme A. Ch. Leffler, Duchesse de Cajanello.
P., Hachette, 1907 ; in-12, broché. X-334 pp. Légers frottements au dos. Bon état.
S. Kowalewsky est la première femme a obtenir un doctorat de mathématiques à l'université de Gôttingen en 1874, première femme a être admise au comité éditorial d'une revue scientifique de mathématiques (Acta mathematica, 1884) et à obtenir une chaire de mathématiques (université de stckhom, 1889). Cet ouvrage avait paru en 1895, quatre ans après le décès à Stockholm de la célèbre mathématicienne russe. Il réunit les "Souvenirs d'enfance" écrits en russe et la biographie rédigée en suédois par Ana Charlotte Leffler, qui connut Sophie Kovalewsky à Stockholm en 1883. A. Ch. Leffler s'était remariée en 1790 avec un aristocrate et mathématicien italien, mais à peine avait-elle terminée sa biographie de Sophie qu'elle mourut brutalement à son tour en 1891.

First edition of Kraft’s paper on algebra and infinite series, placing him among the most significant Danish mathematicians of his time. The work presents a method for determining an unknown variable in an algebraic equation using an infinite sequence of terms relating to series expansion techniques later formalized in Puiseux series, which play a role in modern algebraic geometry and analysis. This work is important in understanding Kraft’s ability as both a mathematician and a philosopher. It show his mathematical talent in algebra and infinite series while also aligning with his Newtonian physics and Leibnizian philosophy.
