EULER, Leonhard

Nova Acta Eruditorum anno MDCCXXXIII publicata
Leizpig
J. Gross Erben
1733-34
€300 - €400

2 years bound together in 1 vol. in-4to, [viii], 560, [30] pages, ill. with 6 copper plates. The most important article in this scientific volume is: Constructio aequationum quarundam differentialium quae indeterminatarum separationem non admittunt. (on pages 369-373) This translates as: 'The transformation of certain differential equations, which do not permit the separation of variables'; it concerns the Ricatti equation. Age-toned due to the quality of the paper. Contemporary polished calf binding, spine richly gilt, red edges

Euler seems to be using the Nova acta eruditorum to make a kind of research announcement, probably to protect his priority on the results in two articles (Specimen de constructione aequationum differentialium ... and Construction aequationis differentialis) that would not actually be published for another five years"" Ref. Ed Sandifer, The early mathematics of Leonar Euler p. 91
