LEGENDRE (Adrien-Marie). THÉORIE des Nombres. Paris. 1808 - LEGENDRE (Adrien-Marie) THÉORIE des Nombres . Seconde Édition. Paris: Chez Courcier, 1808. xxiv, 480, [36], 62 pp., 1 est.: il.; 265 mm. One of the foundational works of modern arithmetic and a decisive milestone in the autonomization of number theory as a mathematical discipline. Published at the beginning of the 19th century, it systematically gathers and organizes results that were previously scattered, offering a coherent framework for the study of the properties of integers. Legendre presents here original contributions of great scope that directly influenced mathematicians of the following generation, in particular Carl Friedrich Gauss, whose Disquisitiones Arithmeticae critically engages with this work. Copy containing the first supplement from 1816. A second supplement was published in 1825. Rare. ! Please note that this translated text was generated by Google. !
