In den WarenkorbFirst edition. DIOPHANTINE PROBLEMS SOLVED USING FERMAT'S METHODS. First edition, rare, of this early treatise on number theory, explicating and extending the indeterminate problems in the Arithmetica of Diophantus (fl. 3rd century AD). It represents an important testament to the early development of this branch of mathematics.…Some of the methods used by Billy (1602-79) derived from Pierre de Fermat (1601-65), the inventor of modern number theory, with whom Billy corresponded starting in 1659. Billy's purpose in the present work was to develop some general methods of solution of such Diophantine problems (Fermat undoubtedly had such methods but did not publish them). "This mathematician, pronounced by M. Charles 'géomètre d'un grand merite', was highly esteemed by Fermat and Bachet de Meziriac. All his writings are rare. This work contains many of the discoveries on the theory of numbers made by Fermat, who was in frequent communication with Billy. It is a curious fact that Father Billy, without any mention of the name of Fermat, gives here, as his own, the resolution of some equations, which, in the Diophantus published with Fermat's annotations in the same year, he [Billy] acknowledges to have found in the letters of Fermat to himself" (Libri Catalogue, lot 1037). The first edition of the Greek text of the Arithmetica was first published by Claude-Gaspard Bachet de Méziriac, of whom Billy was a pupil, in 1621. One of the annotations in Fermat's own copy of this edition was a statement of his famous "last theorem". Fermat's son published a reprint of Bachet's edition in 1670, including his father's annotations. This edition also included a treatise by Billy, the Doctrinae Analyticae Inventum Novum, in which Billy gives an account of some of Fermat's methods of proof. The present work can be seen as an extension of the Doctrinae Analyticae, giving further applications of Fermat's methods. The problems treated in the first volume of the work typically ask whether there exist right-angled triangles whose sides are positive rational numbers (fractions) satisfying certain additional conditions. For example, if we require that each side of the triangle is the square of an integer (whole number) we have the question of whether there are positive whole numbers x,y, z such that x4 + y4 = z4. That no such numbers exist is one case of Fermat's last theorem (actually the first case to be proved). The second volume contains problems of a more arithmetic nature, such as (generalizations of) the problem of finding squares in arithmetic progression (for example, 1, 25, 49) - this is related to the first part, since if x2, y2, z2 is an arithmetic progression, then y is the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle of which x is the difference and z the sum of the other two sides. Billy also considers the problem of determining when a given cubic or quartic with numerical coefficients can be equal to a square (Dickson, p. 569). RBH lists four copies since Honeyman, with only the Macclesfield copy being in comparable condition to ours. Almost all copies (including Macclesfield and Honeyman) lack some of the blank leaves A1 and T8 in part I and l7-8 in part II (almost all copies lack the blank A1) - all these blanks are present in our copy. OCLC lists Brown, Cincinnati, Harvard, and Huntington in US. Provenance: Old collectors stamp with the initials F.T. to front pastedown. "Jacques de Billy entered the Jesuit order and studied theology at the Colleges of the Order. He was ordained a Jesuit. The Jesuit Order had been created about sixty years before de Billy was born and, from the very beginning, education and scholarship became the principal work of the Order. By the time Billy entered the Order it contained around 15,000 men. "Billy taught mathematics and theology at Jesuit colleges all his life, in particular those colleges which were in the administrative region of Champagne, a region which covered the present-day northeastern French districts of Marne and parts of Ardennes, Meuse, Haute-Marne, Aube, Yonne, Seine-et-Marne, and Aisne. From 1629 to 1630 he taught mathematics at the Jesuit College at Pont à Mousson, during this time he was still studying theology. "From 1631 to 1633 Billy taught mathematics at the Jesuit college at Rheims. He became a close friend of Bachet. After this Billy taught in Grenoble and then was rector of a number of Jesuit Colleges in Chalons, Langres and in Sens. From 1665 to 1668 he was professor of mathematics at the College of Dijon" (MacTutor). There, "one of his students was Jacques Ozanam, whom he taught privately because there was no chair of mathematics at the college, and in whom he instilled a profound love for calculus. Finally, a professorship having been created in mathematics, he taught his favourite subject from 1665 to 1668" (DSB). Ozanam composed a 1200-page manuscript on Diophantine problems, entitled The Six Books of Diophantus' Arithmetic, which was only rediscovered in the twentieth century. This manuscript establishes the correctness of the methods used by Billy, to be described below. "In 1670 the Jesuit Father Jacques de Billy published his work Diophanti redivivi where he treats a very large number of diophantine problems [algebraic equations the solutions of which are required to be integers (whole numbers) or rational numbers (fractions)]. In the first of the two volumes which constitute the work, the author treats many problems on rational right triangles.Willingness to give general methods for certain classes of problems is obvious.The originality of the methods used provides elements new to Diophantine analysis.The treatment of "double equations" of the second degree and the "triple equations" of the first degree, necessary for the resolution of the aforementioned problems, is an important part of this new contribution. "In several places in the work, father Billy refers to Jacques Ozanam, whom he considers very competent on diophantine problems (see pp. 8-9 & 26.

Without the two blank leaves between the end of the dedication and the beginning of the text (there is clearly no leaf with any text lacking there is either a pagination-error, or there has been one or two blank leaves between the end of the dedication and the beginning of the work. In the other copies that we have been able to find collations of, there has been no leaf a4 nor A1 either - there is no doubt that the text is complete), and without the blank leaf after the end of Part One, but with two blanks at the end of Part Two. (8) pp., pp. 3-302" 140 pp. + two blank leaves. Etremely scarce first edition of Jacques de Billy's mathematical magnum opus, known primarily as "Diophantus Redivivus" (i.e. "Diophantus Restored"), in which he gives some of the most important solutions to Diophantine problems, of which he was an expert. The work is highly important within the field of number theory and counts as one of the greatest testimonies to the early development of this branch of mathematics. The copy has belonged to the famous mathematician Johann Georg von Soldner (of the Soldner coordinate system). It was partly due to the rediscovery of Diophantus in the 16th century that Fermat reached his famous "last theorem" in the middle of the 17th century, when reading Diphantus' "Arithmetica" and engaging himself with the problems presented here. Jacques de Billy (1602-1679), a French Jesuit, who taught mathematics and theology and received the first professorship of mathematics at the Collège de Dijon, was highly interested in the problems that Diophantus had presented in his famous work, and some time before 1659, an active correspondence began between himself and Fermat, which led to, among other things, the his important "Diophantus Redivivus". The work includes many of Fermat's discoveries within the field as well as Billy's own take on them.Before a professorship of mathematics had been created at the Collège de Dijon, the mathematical enthusiast Jacques de Billy was master of studies and professor of theology. His love for mathematics meant, however, that he taught the students privately, and one of the most eager students that he thus privately taught was Jacques Ozanan, in whom Billy instilled a profound love for calculus.The only auction-records that we have been able to locate of the present work are that of Macclesfield (2004) and that of Honeyman (1978), both of which are without leaves between a3 and A2, thus lacking these two blanks (if they have ever been there). The Macclesfield-copy has the blank leaf after Part One and the two final blanks at the end of Part Two, but not the other (possible) blanks. The Honeyman-copy lacks all blank leaves, but only these, it seems.Brunet I: 946, stating "Recherché et rare" (collation: 302 et 140 pp.). Not in Poggendorf, not in Graesse.The previous owner Johann Georg von Soldner (1776-1833) was a famous German physicist, mathematician and astronomer, early on renowned for his great talent for mathematics (though almost completely self-taught). The Soldner coordinate system, which was in use until the middle of the 20th century in Germany, was named after him, as was the Ramaunajan-Soldner constant, but today he is probably primarily remembered for the final conclusion of light being diverted by heavenly bodies. It was Soldner that Einstein was accused of plagiarizing, when he calculated and published a value for the amount of gravitational light-bending in light skimming the Sun in 1911."Soldner was simple and reserved in manner, and he valued ral scholarship for its own sake. His painstaiking observational work on the detection of motion among fixed stars could be of value only to future generations of astronomers and illustrates the unselfish spirit of his work. His writings are clear and concise, and he avoided repetionon of what was already common knowledge." (D.S.B. XII:518).
