Cantor, Georg

Fernere Bemerkung über trigonometrische; [And:] Uber ein neues und allgemeines Condensationsprincip der Singularitaeten von Functionen. Halle: 1879, 1882

Two first editions, extracted from Mathematische Annalen.

Cantor, the founder of set theory, published only in journals during his lifetime; offprints for his own distribution are scarce. 

“Cantor has gone down in history as the founder of set theory, but the science of mathematics is equally indebted to him for important contributions in classical analysis” (DSB III).

Both 8vo (230 x 135mm). Unbound. Lightly toned and foxed throughout, some annotations in black ink, old stamp residue to 1882 article.
