An important figure in mathematical logic and abstract algebra, Augustus De Morgan (180671) also wrote wittily on paradoxical and illogical thinking through time. Edited by his widow and published in 1872, this entertaining work parades all varietie...Daugiau...
Newtons Principia paints a picture of the earth as a spinning, gravitating ball. However, the earth is not completely rigid and the interplay of forces will modify its shape in subtle ways. Newton predicted a flattening at the poles, yet others disa...Daugiau...
Published in 1874, this two-volume work by Isaac Todhunter (182084), perhaps the greatest Victorian historian of mathematics, takes an important mathematical story from Newton, through the expeditions which settled certain questions in Newtons favo...Daugiau...

The need to support his family meant that George Boole (181564) was a largely self-educated mathematician. Widely recognised for his ability, he became the first professor of mathematics at Cork. Boole belonged to the British school of algebra, whic...Daugiau...
Helping to overturn long-standing assumptions, this important 1847 work treats logic as a branch of mathematics, more specifically as algebra....Daugiau...
A distinguished mathematician and notable university teacher, Isaac Todhunter (182084) became known in his time for his successful textbooks. Edited and completed by Karl Pearson (18571936), and published between 1886 and 1893, this three-part work...Daugiau...
Camille Jordan (18381922) became known for his work on matrices, Galois theory and group theory. However, his most profound effect on how we see mathematics came through his Cours danalyse. Reissued here is the three-volume first edition (18827),...Daugiau...
