First edition. 'ALLOWED THE PASSAGE FROM INDIVISIBLES TO INFINITESIMALS' . First edition, very rare, and a fine copy. "Tacquet's most important mathematical work, Cylindricorum et annularium, contained a number of original theorems on cylinders and rings. Its main importance, however, lay in its concern with questions of method. Tacquet rejected all notions [originating with Cavalieri] that solids are composed of planes, planes of lines, and so on, except as heuristic devices for finding solutions. The approach he adopted was that of Luca Valerio and Gregorius [of Saint-Vincent], an essentially Archimedean method" (DSB). "Tacquet's criticisms must have been effective, because indivisibles became homogeneous magnitudes as a result of innovations introduced during the course of the seventeenth century" (Rossini, p. 465). The historian of mathematics Henri Bosmans "states that it was Tacquet's decisive influence, followed by Pascal's large-scale implementation, which allowed what is sometimes referred to as the passage from indivisibles to infinitesimals" (Julien, p. 187). "In this work the ideas that the tangent and the area under a curve were inverse to each other appeared. It arises from the way that Tacquet thought of curves generated by moving points, but not actually comprising of points. Of course this idea is an early form of what would become clear when the calculus was invented, namely that the derivative and integral were inverse to each other. This book had a considerable effect on Pascal and was important in setting the scene for the invention of the calculus" (MacTutor). Bosmans has pointed out the debt owed to Tacquet's Cylindricorum et annularium by Pascal in his preparation of the Lettres de Dettonville (1659). Indeed, in the Lettre à Carcavy Pascal writes that Tacquet's book is full of "learned geometry", praises how Tacquet "handles the indivisibles with all desirable rigour", and refers specifically to Tacquet for a result on the approximation of a surface by inscribed and circumscribed polyhedra (see Descotes). "The change in Pascal to a clear point of view with respect to infinitesimals may well have come from Pascal's reading of Tacquet's Cylindricorum et annularium, in which the author denied the validity of concluding anything about the ratio of surfaces from the ratio of their indivisibles, or lines" (Boyer, p. 151). This is a rare work, particularly in commerce. ABPC/RBH list only the Turner copy from the University of Keele, offered by a prominent London dealer in 2002, and subsequently sold at Reiss in 2005 (quite a poor copy, in modern binding, with some paper repairs and a partially removed library stamp). Ours is a fine, untouched copy in contemporary binding. Provenance: Contemporary ownership inscription on title of "Conde da Torre", possibly the Portuguese nobleman João de Mascarenhas (1633-1681), second Count of Torre and first Marquis of Fronteira. "The Jesuit mathematician André Tacquet (1612-60) was, by the standards of his time, a man of the world. Although he may never have left his native Flanders, his network of correspondents spanned Europe's religious divide, reaching to Italy and France but also to Protestant Holland and England. Only months before his death he entertained the Dutch polymath Christiaan Huygens, who had travelled to Antwerp with the express purpose of meeting Tacquet, by then regarded as one of the brightest mathematical stars ever to come out of the Society of Jesus . It was his mathematical excellence that transcended 17th-century prejudices. In England, Henry Oldenburg, secretary of the Royal Society of London and no friend of the Jesuits, spent so much time describing Tacquet's Opera mathematica at the Society's meeting in January 1669 that he felt compelled to apologise to the fellows for abusing their patience. But it was, he insisted, 'one of the best books ever written on mathematics'" (Alexander, p. 118). "In 1651 André Tacquet, the urbane Fleming whose work was celebrated b.…

Second and best edition of the collected works on applied mathematics, by André Tacquet (1612-1660), a Belgian Jesuit scientist and professor in mathematics at Louvain and Antwerp. It is richly illustrated with mathemical drawings concerning the applications of perspective and with projections of cylinders, rings and circles. The present collected works, published posthumously by Tacquet's pupil Simone Laurentio Veterani, includes several works published here for the first time, namely his works on astronomy and on optics. The additional work on military engineering also is of interest, nicely illustrated with plans of fortifications and strongholds. Tacquet's works are exemplary text books, clearly demonstrating the theory, and also offering useful exercises for the pupils.Fine copy of a rare work in an interesting contemporary binding.l De Backer & Sommervogel II, col. 616; DSB XIII, p. 236; Houzeau & Lancaster 3406; Poggendorff II, p. 1064 ; not in STCV.
