The works of Jakob Bernoulli. Vol. 2: Elementary mathematics (English)
0 references
This most diligently edited volume comprehends 119 sketches or short articles dealing with Arithmetic or number theory (13), synthetic geometry (10), and algebraic geometry (96). They are by far mostly taken from Jakob Bernoulli's ``Meditationes'', that is Bernoulli's mathematical notebook. There are an Italian/English general introduction by Tullio Viola and Italian introductions by Silvia Roero into the three great parts of the volume. Three appendices deal with Jakob Bernoulli as a reader of Archimedes's works, a reconstruction of an uncomplete argumentation in Archimedes's treatise. On the sphere and cylinder, and with a famous Florentine geometrical problem. There are a large bibliography, index of names and subjects, and a list of Jakob Bernoulli's writings.
