1671 1ed Elements Geometry French Mathematics Science Arithmetic Euclid Pardies
Ignace-Gaston Pardies was a 17th-century French scientist who wrote numerous scientific works on horology, optics, physics, mechanics, and geometry. In 1671, Pardies published his 'Elements of Geometry' which served as an introductory study into geometry following the ancient discoveries of Euclid, Archimedes, and Appolonius. Pardies incorporates in-text geometric sketches throughout the book.

1689 Mathematics Arithmetic Multiplication Tables Accounting French Barreme
François-Bertrand Barrême was a 17th-century French mathematics professor best-known for his contributions to accounting and arithmetic. In fact, Barreme's name has become synonymous with 'barremes' tables which are arithmetic tables showing the results of multiplication. Barreme's mathematical processes and arithmetic examples are included in this 1689 printing of his book 'Learning Arithmetic: On Your Own'.

1716 1ed Surveying Map Making Cartography Tools FORT PLANS Ozanam Mathematics

Jacques Ozanam was a 17th-century French mathematician most-known for his work 'Recreations', or 'Mathematics'.
However, in addition to his studies in mathematics, he published one of the best works on surveying. 'Methode de Lever Les Plans' is an important book on how to create maps and survey land both with and without technical instruments. Ozanam covers how to find the best location for mapping a location, how to use necessary tools, and how to use geometry to create plans of castles and forts!
Note the impressive folding maps and engravings bound at the end of this first edition book!

1716 Geometry Le Clerc Mathematics & Architecture CLASSIC Illustrated Landscapes

"one of the earliest geometry treatises to combine mathematics and illustrated landscapes!"
A rare treatise on geometry that had a lasting influence on mathematicians and architects. Sebastien le Clerc wrote this book with the intents of it being used by workers, not necessarily students. The figures of geometry include scenery, rural views, castles, buildings, geometric instruments, and problems. This treatise is one of the earliest essays that combines geometry, architectural, and landscaping.
According to Hoffer, this work is
"one of the most attractive mathematical works ever published".

1834 Handwritten Mathematics Manuscript WINE & BEER Apothecary Drugs Stocks
An interesting handwritten manuscript of mathematics lessons, theories, and problems. The lessons cover mathematical concepts such as subtraction, proportion, multiplication, and division, including an interesting section entitled 'The Rule of Three'. The lessons are then applied in a variety of practical questions, such as converting measurements between apothecary, troy, and avoirdupois weights and measures; understanding billing, expenses, and cost of services rendered; use of currency; brokerage of stocks; and many more. These practical questions often feature goods and services students would frequently interact with on a daily basis during this time period, such as the cost of ingredients for wine and beer; understanding how many garments could be made from a given length of cloth; travel distances over time; and cost of tobacco, to name just a few.

From the colophon: "Helen Hiebert created all of the handmade paper in this book with a 90% cotton rag/10% abaca fiber blend. She composed the string drawings and stitched them with the assistance of Will Katauskas. The end sheets are machine stitched. Tom Leech printed the text at the Press at the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe, New Mexico from polymer plates made by Boxcar Press. The typeface is Dante. Claudia Cohen bound and boxed the book. Helen Hiebert: "Tension is a pulling force in physics. The strings within these pages cannot be pushed to form a definitive shape: when a page is closed, the thread - without tension - goes slack, lying in chaos between the folds. As you turn the page, extending it to 180 degrees, the single thread pulls taut, and the invisible property of tension creates beauty and order.… Read More
