Lot 150 | EULER, Leonhard (1707-1783).
EULER, Leonhard (1707-1783).

Methodus inveniendi lineas curvas maximi minimive proprietate gaudentes, sive Solutio problematis isoperometrici latissimo sensu accepti. Lausanne and Geneva: Marc-Michel Bousquet, 1744.

First edition of Euler's most valuable contribution to mathematics in which he developed the concept of the calculus of variations. ‘Starting with several problems posed by Johann and Jakob Bernoulli, Euler was the first to formulate the principal problems of the calculus of variations and to create general methods for their solution’ (DSB). Of equal significance for the development of mechanical science is the first of two appendices, in which Euler applied the calculus of variations to several problems in the theory of elasticity. Dibner Heralds of Science 111; Grolier/Horblit 28; Norman 731; Roberts & Trent pp. 104-5.



Quarto (238 x 189 mm). With the blank. Title printed in red and black with engraved vignette, 5 engraved folding plates, woodcut head-piece and initial (some light browing). Contemporary vellum, gilt label to spine (label chipped, some staining). Provenance: Initials ‘DSA’ (early ink stamp on title) – Janus Foundation, San Francisco (bookplate).
