(Computing.) Richard Taylor: 'Scientific Memoirs selected from The Transactions of Foreign Academics Of Science and learned Societies ', London, R & JE Taylor, 1837-1852, 5 volumes, ex library, numerous folding engraved plates and tables, uniform half calf gilt. Contains the important article 'Sketch of the Analytical Engine invented by Charles Babbage Esq. By L. F. Menabrea, of Turin, Officer of the Military Engineers.', volume 3, pp 666-771, translated by Augusta Ada Lovelace and with her notes appended to Menabrea's article. Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (1815-1852), commonly known as Ada Lovelace, was an English writer, mathematician, and pioneer in the field of computer science. The daughter of the renowned poet, Lord Byron, Ada exhibited mathematical talent at an early age. She was privately tutored in mathematics, including by Mary Somerville, William Frend, and Augustus De Morgan. She worked as an assistant to Charles Babbage (1791-1871) during the development of his “analytic engine.” When an Italian military engineer, Luigi Menabrea (1809-1896), wrote an article on the analytic engine, Ada was asked to translate it into English for publication. During a nine-month period in 1842–43, Lovelace translated Menabrea's article. She then augmented the paper with notes, which were added to the translation. The translation and notes were then published in the September 1843 edition of Taylor's Scientific Memoirs under the initialism AAL. Explaining the Analytical Engine's function was a difficult task; many other scientists did not grasp the concept and the British establishment had shown little interest in it. Lovelace's notes even had to explain how the Analytical Engine differed from the original Difference Engine. Her work was well received at the time; the scientist Michael Faraday described himself as a supporter of her writing. The notes, around three times longer than the article itself, are important in the early history of computers, especially since the seventh one described, in complete detail, a method for calculating a sequence of Bernoulli numbers using the Analytical Engine, which might have run correctly had it ever been built. Though Babbage's personal notes from 1837 to 1840 contain the first programs for the engine, the algorithm in Note G is often called the first published computer program. The engine was never completed and so the program was never tested. In 1953, more than a century after her death, Ada Lovelace's notes on Babbage's Analytical Engine were republished as an appendix to B. V. Bowden's Faster than Thought: A Symposium on Digital Computing Machines. The engine has now been recognised as an early model for a computer and her notes as a description of a computer and software. Based on this work, Lovelace is often called the first computer programmer and her method has been called the world's first computer program.

-- Fundamentales Werk zur Theorie endlicher Gruppen-- Burnside, W(illiam). Theory of Groups of Finite Order. XVI, 388 S. 22,5 x 14,5 cm. Dunkelgrüner strukturgeprägter OLeinenband mit goldgeprägtem RTitel. Cambridge,University Press, 1897. Erste Ausgabe des einflussreichsten Werkes zur Gruppentheorie, der Theorie endlicher Gruppen, von dem englischer Mathematiker William Burnside (1852-1927). "With hope of stirring up interest in group theory in England, Burnside published his Theory of Groups in 1897. It was the first treatise on groups in English and also the first to develope the theory from the modern standpoint of abstract groups vis à vis permutation groups" (DSB). 1899 wurde Burside die de-Morgan-Medaille der London Mathematical Society für seine Arbeit verliehen. So erkannte er, dass Gruppen der Ordnung (pm, qm) durchaus auflösbar sind, wie es schon in Ansätzen Peter Ludwig Mejdell Sylow, Ferdinand Georg Frobenius und Camille Jordan versucht hatten. Burnside postulierte, dass alle endlichen Gruppen ungerader Ordnung auflösbar seien, was jedoch erst vierzig Jahre posthum von Walter Feit und John Griggs Thompson in einer gewaltigen mathematischen Beweisführung dargelegt werden konnte. Jedenfalls ist das sogenannte "Burnside-Problem" auch heute noch eine zentrale Kraft in der Gruppentheorie. - Ganz leicht gebräunt, nur vereinzelt minimal fleckig, allenthalben Korrekturen und Anmerkungen, meist in Bleistift, sonst wohlerhalten.
