Description: 1825-26 With 42 plates. 442 pp.; 509 pp.; 516 pp. 8vo (195 x 120 mm). Contemporary maroon calf, red and green spine labels. Exlibris. Paris, Bachelier, 1825-26. First edition of the lectures of Charles Dupin (1784-1873), mathematician, engineer and economist. This work is devoted to geometry, mechanics and dynamics, with many sections on architecture and perspective. It had a great success and was widely tranlated (also into German: Geometrie und Mechanik der Künste und Handwerke, 1826). The Dupin cyclide and Dupin indicatrix are named after him. In the tradition of Gaspard Monge he was focused on mathematics and mechanics.- Slightly spotted, otherwise fine. - DSB IV, 257.
