A propos de cet article

A scarce first edition of E. A. Maxwell's General Homogeneous Coordinates in Space of Three Dimensions, published by Cambridge University Press in 1951. Maxwell, Fellow of Queen's College, Cambridge, was renowned for his clear and rigorous mathematical texts, and this volume provides a detailed study of homogeneous coordinates and their application within three-dimensional projective geometry. An important mid-century mathematical work, this title remains of interest to collectors of vintage mathematics books, historians of geometry, academic libraries, and those collecting Cambridge University Press publications. Condition Good to Very Good condition. Original red cloth boards remain sound and firmly bound, showing light age-related wear and rubbing consistent with use. Pages are clean, bright, and free from annotations throughout the text. No dust jacket present. Previous owner's name ("C. Cubitt") is written neatly to the front endpaper. There is also a contemporary gift inscription dated June 1951 and a small Foyles bookseller label to the front pastedown. Internal pages remain remarkably well preserved for a specialist academic volume of this age. Historical Significance E. A. Maxwell was a respected British mathematician and author whose textbooks helped generations of students understand advanced geometrical concepts. This work explores homogeneous coordinate systems in three-dimensional space, a fundamental topic in projective geometry with applications across mathematics and theoretical sciences. Why Collect This Copy? Genuine First Edition (1951) Published by Cambridge University Press Important work on projective geometry Original cloth binding Well-preserved academic text Ideal for collectors of mathematics and geometry literature Increasingly difficult to find in original first-edition form Please examine all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.…

Description de la boutique

Step into the world of Cranston & Perry, where every shelf holds a little history and every book has a story beyond the one printed on its pages. We seek out books with character, from time-worn editions with foxed pages, beautiful bindings and forgotten inscriptions, to collectable children’s books, literary classics, unusual finds and modern voices worth rediscovering. Some are rare. Some are wonderfully ordinary. Some have travelled through generations before reaching us. What matters is that each deserves to find the right reader and a new place on the shelf. Part antiquarian bookseller, part treasure hunter and entirely devoted to books, Cranston & Perry celebrates literature in all its forms: beautiful, rebellious, curious, scholarly, nostalgic and occasionally rather strange. Every book has a past. Every reader begins another chapter. We simply bring the two together.…
