Lot 18 | Mémoire sur les intégrales définies
Estimate value
$ 1 000 – 2 000
First edition of Cauchy's foundational work on definite integrals and complex functions. In this treatise, Cauchy makes great strides in establishing what is now named “Cauchy’s integral theorem,” which despite its overall impact on mathematics, remained unacknowledged for several decades. “He defined integrals over arbitrary paths in the complex domain and through the Cauchy-Riemann differential equations he derived, by variation calculus, the fact that in a domain of regularity of f(z) such an integral depended on the end points of the path only,” (DSB III, p. 131). Parkinson pp 279-80.
