Description
First edition of this important mathematical treatise by the physicist and astronomer Ruggero Giuseppe Boscovich (1711-1787), one of the first natural philosophers to spread Newtonian science in Italy. The matter is thus divided into three volumes: Tomus I continens Geometry planam, Arithmeticam vulgarem, Geometry solidorum, Trigonometriam planam et sphaericam; Tomus II continens algebram finitem; Tomus III contains sectionum conicarum elementa nova quadam methodo concinnata et dissertationem de transfomatione locorum geometricorum ubi de Continuitatis lege ac de quibusdam Infiniti Mysteriis. The third volume in particular lays the mathematical foundations of the author's most important work, the Philosophiae naturalis theoria redacta ad unicam legem virium in natura existentium, published in Vienna in 1758. The text is accompanied by 15 folded tables: 8 in volume I (5 at the end of the volume and 3 in the text) and 7 in volume III
