Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1944. First edition, first printing. The copy of distinguished mathematician Andrew M. Gleason who (together with Montgomery and Zippin) resolved Hilbert’s Fifth Problem; a problem to which Von Neumann also greatly contributed. Gleason’s theorem of mathematical physics plays a fundamental role in quantum mechanics and in particular in hidden variable theories. A fine copy of Von Neumann and Morgenstern's groundbreaking text that created the interdisciplinary... Price: €3,500.00

METROPOLIS, Nicholas & ULAM, Stanislaw.
Washington: American Statistical Association, 1949. First edition, pre-print. Very rare proof typescript of the first public account of the Monte Carlo method - "The generally accepted birth date of the Monte Carlo method is 1949, when an article entitled 'The Monte Carlo Method' by Metropolis and Ulam appeared." (Ilya M. Sobol). The Monte Carlo method, developed by Ulam, Von Neumann, and Metropolis, was originally used in 1947, at... Price: €2,600.00

WALD, Abraham. & H.A. Freeman.
Washington: National Defense Research Committee, 1943-1944. All three first editions, first issue. An exceptional set of the three classified reports in which Wald's groundbreaking work was first announced. About Wald's later journal paper from 1945 Kotz and Johnson write in their 'Breakthroughs in Statistics': "Probability theory came of age with the advent of Kolmogorov's axiomatics in 1933 and the subsequent developments in limit theorems and stochastic processes. Statistical inference came of age... Price: €7,200.00
