1832. Berlin, G. Reimer, 1832. 4to. Without wrappers. Extracted from "Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik. Hrsg. von A.L. Crelle", 9. Bd., Heft 4, pp. 313-403. Jacobi's paper pp. 394-403. With titlepage to vol. 9. First printing of this important paper, bringing the problem with the Abelian integral to a solution. "The further step was made by Jacobi in the short but very importent memoir "Considerationes generales..." (the paper offered): viz. he here shows for the hyper-elliptical integrals of any class (but the conclusion may be stated generally) that the direct functions to which Abel's theorem has reference are not functions of a single variable, such as the elliptic sn, cn, or dn, but functions of "p" variables...(Arthur Cayley in his "Presidential Address to the British Association 1883)."Carl Jacobi in reviewing Adrien Legendre's third supplement to his "Traite des fonctions elliptiques et des integrales Euleurienne", suggests renaming Legendre's "hyperelliptical… Read More

1834. Berlin, G. Reimer, 1834. 4to. No wrappers. In "Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik. Hrsg. von A.L. Crelle", Bd. 12, Heft 1, IV,88 pp. (the whole issue(Heft 1) offered with titlepage to volume 12). Jacobi's paper: pp. 1-69. a. 1 engraved plate. First edition of a main paper dealing with n-dimensional geometry."Of the papers devoted to n-fold integrals Jacobi's 1834 paper "De binis quibuslibit...." is of crucial importence in this connection (the theory of algebraic forms of variables). Here, besides the problem of computing multiple integrals, an importent problem of the theory of algebraic forms is solved." (Andrei Nik. Kolmogorov).

1843. Berlin, G. Reimer, 1843. 4to. No wrappers. In "Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik. Hrsg. von A.L. Crelle, 26. Band, zwanzigster Heft". No backstrip. A fine and clean copy. Pp. 93-114; Pp. 115-131. First printing of Jacobi's paper (Sur l'elimination ...) in which "he showed how to reduce a general three-body problem - that of the motion of two planets about the Sun - to a problem of the motion of two fictive bodies. He subjected the masses, positions and velocities of these fictive bodies to the restrictions that their centre of gravity should be identical to that of the original system, and their accelerations derivable from the force function for that system; the total force vive was the same, and the conservation of areas still held." (Companion Encyclopedia of the History and Philosophy of the Mathematical Sciences: v. 2, 1056 p.).

1850. (Berlin, Georg Reimer, 1850). 4to. Later marbled wrappers. In "Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik, 39. Band, 24 Heft. Jacobi's paper takes up the whole issue . pp. 293-350. First printing of main paper in Rigic Body Dynamics, where Jacobi studied the motion of a top and derived the analytic solution for the motion of a free body and defined the so-called "Jacobi analytic functions". The problem was first treated by Leonhard Euler in 1758 in the case where the fixed point is the centre of gravity of the top, but it was Jacobi who first solved the problem completely, making use of elliptic functions which he himself had introduced.

1829. (Berlin, G. Reimer, 1829). 4to. No wrappers. Extracted from"Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik. Hrsg. von A.L. Crelle", Bd. 4. Jacobi's paper: pp. 371-390. First printing of a key memoir in the establishment of "Elliptic Functions". The acknowledged founders of the theory of "Elliptic Functions" are Abel and Jacobi. Both had arrived at the key idea of working with inverse functions of the elliptic integrals, an idea Abel had since 1823. Jacoby next gave proof of the results he had published in 1827 ( a paper published in "Astronomische Nachrichten" in several articles in Crelle's Journal for the years 1828-30, -the offered paper is one of these."The most celebrated results of his research were those in elliptic functions, published in 1829, which brought him the praise of Legendre."(Boyer). The offred paper was incorporated in Jcobi's main work "Fundamenta nova theoriae functionum ellipticarum", published 1829.

1842. Berlin, G. Reimer, 1842. 4to. No wrappers. In "Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik. Hrsg. von A.L. Crelle, 24. Band, erstes Heft". No backstrip. A fine and clean copy. Pp. 5-27. [Entire issue: (6), 99 pp.]. First printing of this important memoire by Jacobi in which Jacobi presented his solution to the inverse-square problem. "In a memoir written in Latin, Jacobi published in 1842 a simple, concise, and elegant solution of the inverse-square problem. This note argues that Jacobi's solution has not attracted the attention that it deserves and that it should prove valuable to teachers and students in introductory mechanics courses. A translation of the excerpt in which Jacobi describes his solution is given, and the method is then recast in the now more familiar language of vectors." (Gauthier)

1846. Berlin, G. Reimer, 1846. 4to. No wrappers. In "Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik. Hrsg. von A.L. Crelle, 32. Band, Drittes Heft". No backstrip. A fine and clean copy. Pp. 185-196; Pp. 197-204; Pp. 220-226. First printing of three paper's by Jacobi on differential mathematics and Abelian functions."Most of Jacobi's fundamental research articles in the theory of elliptic functions, mathematical analysis, number theory, geometry, and me-chanics were published in Crelle's Journal fue die reine and angewandte Mathematik. With an average of three articles per volume, Jacobi was one of its most active contributors and quickly helped to establish its international famenone of his gifted students could escape his spell: they were drawn into his sphere of thought, worked along the manifold lines he sug-gested, and soon represented a "school". C. W. Borchardt, E. Heine, L. O. Hesse, F. J. Richelot, J. Rosenhain, and P. L. von Seidel belonged to this circle; they contributed much to the… Read More

1830. (Berlin, G. Reimer, 1830). 4to. No wrappers. Extracted from"Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik. Hrsg. von A.L. Crelle, 6. Band". No backstrip. A fine and clean copy. [Jacobi:] pp. 257-286. [Entire issue: Pp. 215-310 + 1 folded plate.]. First printing of Jacobi's paper on infinit series. "Most of Jacobi's fundamental research articles in the theory of elliptic functions, mathematical analysis, number theory, geometry, and me-chanics were published in Crelle's Journal fue die reine and angewandte Mathematik. With an average of three articles per volume, Jacobi was one of its most active contributors and quickly helped to establish its international fame." (DSB)

1841. Berlin, G. Reimer, 1841. 4to. Without wrappers as Heft 4 in "Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik. Hrsg. von A.L. Crelle", Bd. 22, heft 4. Titlepage to Heft 4. and pp. 285-380 +(2) pp. and 1 engraved plate. Jacobis papers: 1. pp. 285-318, 2. pp. 319,359, 3. pp. 360-371 and 4. pp. 372-374. First printing of 2 importent and influential papers by Jacobi. In 1841 "Carl Jacobi (1804-1851) develops the theory of determinants, including mention of the "functional determinant" or "Jacobian" in his paper "De formatione et proprietatibus Determinantium" (the first paper offered here). Later in the same year hepublishes a further development specifically of the theory of acobians in the memoir "De determinantibus functionalibus" (the second paper offered here). He shows for instance,that the Jacobian of a set of n functions in n variables is identically zero if and only if the functions are mutually dependent. Although functional determinants had been used earlier, they are later named after… Read More

1835. (Berlin, G. Reimer, 1835) 4to. No wrappers as extracted from"Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik. Hrsg. von A.L. Crelle", Bd. 13. Jacobi's paper: pp. 55-78. First appearance of an importent paper on the functions of a complex variable.In an importent paper of 1835 (the item offered) Jacobi showed that a single-valued function of a single variable which for every finite value of the argument has the character of a rational function (that is, is a meromorphic function) cannot have more than two periods, the ratio of the periodics is necessarily a nonreal number. This discovery opened up a new direction of work, namely, the problem of finding all double periodic functions." (Morris Kline).
