Teubner) 1899. 8vo, cloth binding (some wear), pp. viii + 400, corrigenda. 2 vols. together. O. Bolza’s signature on the title page. A specialist in number theory, Genocchi (1817–89) abandoned a career in law to devote himself to mathematics. In Turin, he successively held the chair of algebra and geometry (1859), that of higher analysis (1860), and then that of infinitesimal calculus (1862). He became president of the Turin Academy of Sciences. He collaborated notably with Giuseppe Peano, his assistant from 1881 to 1882. A sequence of numbers defined by its exponential generating series bears his name. Provenance: the library of Hans and Oscar Bolza, then passed down through the family.
