About This Item
Paris: Gauthier-Villars, 1920. [2], 67pp, [3]. Recent cream paper wrappers over original publisher's printed buff wrappers. Housed in custom cloth clamshell case. Recent book-label of Erwin Tomash to verso of upper wrapper, leaves toned. Philbert Maurice d'Ocagne (1862-1938), French mathematician and engineer, founder of the field of nomography - the graphical computation of algebraic equations. The present monograph applies nomograms to artillery and aviation problems, for example showing changes in range when firing from an incline. From the recently dispersed library of Erwin Tomash (1921-2012), American engineer recognised for his early pioneering work with computer equipment peripherals. His library consisted of over 3,000 books and manuscripts relevant to the history of computation, from medieval and renaissance works on arithmetic, finger-reckoning and the abacus, to the birth in the twentieth century of theoretical and practical computer science under Alan Turing. Tomash O 23.. First edition. 8vo.
