SUNDMAN (Karl Frithiof).
"Three-Body Problem Brief". In: ACTA MATHEMATICA, volume 36, pp. 105-179. Berlin, Paris, Uppsala & Stockholm, Almquist & Wiksells, 1913. In-4, printed cardboard (publisher's binder). The first solution to the mathematical three-body problem in celestial mechanics. Karl Sundman (1873-1949), Finnish astronomer and mathematician, was the first in 1909 to demonstrate the existence of an exact analytical solution to the three-body problem. The publication of this article, a kind of summary of his research on the subject, contributed to Sundman's reputation, which was awarded the Pontécoulant Prize of the Academy of Sciences the same year (cf. Malte Henkel, "On Sundman's solution to the three-body problem" in Philosophia Scientiae, 5, (2), 2001, pp. 161-184). Other articles in this volume include Jensen's Research on the Theory of Equations (pp. 181-195), which is here in its original edition. Wet seal on the first course. Pitting on the slices and on the edge of the first course.
