Second edition of the complete works of the great Norwegian mathematician Abel revised and expanded by important memoirs that Holmboe was unable to obtain for his 1839 edition, in addition to several unseen manuscripts, notes and letters. However the publishers left out some of the earlier texts.
"All of Abel’s works carry the imprint of an ingenuity and force of thought which is unusual and sometimes amazing, even if the youth of the author is not taken into consideration" (DSB, I, 17).
Weak hinge. Quite a good copy.
