Description

Assumed First Edition. Hard cover, 8vo., in publisher's blue cloth with gilt title to spine, 117 pp. Consisting of two multi-chapter sections: ""Fundamental Existence Theorems"" by Gilbert Ames Bliss (1876-1951), and ""Differential-Geometric Aspects of Dynamics "" by Edward Kasner (1878-1955). Bliss is known for his work on the calculus of variations (how functions change their outputs when their inputs change by tiny amounts). Kasner is perhaps most well known for having coined the term ""googol"". Condition: Very Good. Slight wear to spine. Small former owner's signature in pen to corner ffep. Otherwise, age toned but clean and firm binding.
