PMM 196; Bibl. Dt. Mus., Libri rari 97; Norman 732; Honeyman Coll. 1065; Eneström 101-102; DSB IV, 476 f. - Erste Ausgabe. Eines der berühmtesten Werke in der Geschichte der Mathematik. "It contains an exposition of algebra, trigonometry and analytical geometry, both plane and solid, a definition of logarithms as exponents, and important contributions to the theory of equations. He evolved the modern exponential treatment of logarithms, including the fact that each number has an infinity of natural logarithms. In the early chapters there appears for the first time the definition of mathematical function, one of the fundamental concepts of modern mathematics. From Euler's time mathematics and physics tended to be treated algebraically, and many of his principles are still used in teaching mathematics" (PMM). - Schwach gebräunt, stellenweise stärker u. etwas stockfleckig. Einige Lagen in Bd. 2 wasserfleckig. Tafel 28 mit Einriss, etwas knittrig u. vollständig auf stärkerem Papier aufgezogen.
