Internally fine and clean. Pp. 339-341. [Entire volume: Pp. 263-356]. First printing of Bethe's famous paper on electromagnetic shift of energy levels which gave the first indication of a possible way out of the unequivocally exposed discrepancies of Lamb shift and magnetic moments.Bethe completed the first non-relativistic computation of the shift of the lines of the hydrogen atom as measured by Lamb and Retherford. Despite the limitations of the computation, agreement was excellent. Based on Bethe's intuition and fundamental papers on the subject by Sin-Itiro Tomonaga Julian Schwinger Richard Feynman it was finally possible to get fully covariant formulations that were finite at any order in a perturbation series of quantum electrodynamics.

Moreover, his extensive activity contributed greatly to making Göttingen the chief center of the exact sciences in Germany. An opponent of one sided approaches, he possessed an extraordinary ability to discover quickly relationships between different areas of research and to exploit them fruitfully." (DSB).

Berlin, G. Reimer, 1830. 4to. As extracted from "Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik, 6. Band, 1830"., without backstrip. Fine and clean. [Gudermann:] Pp. 162-194. [Entire volue: Pp. 147-214]. First printing of Gudermann extensive and important second paper on hyperbolic functions. During 1830ies Gudermann focused his work on these functions and published extensive on the subject, the present paper being the first. It was later coined the Gudermannian function.The function was introduced by Johann Heinrich Lambert in the 1760s at the same time as the hyperbolic functions. He called it the "transcendent angle," and it went by various names until 1862 when Cayley suggested it be given its current name as a tribute to Gudermann's work in the 1830ies on the theory of special functions. The present paper together with two later published papers were collected in Theorie der potenzial- oder cyklisch-hyperbolischen functionen (1833), a book which expounded sinh and cosh to a wide audience.The issue also contain a paper by the famous Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel."Gudermann devoted much more attention to the theory of special functions. After the earlier works of Leonhard Euler, John Landen, and A. M. Legendre (Gauss's results were still in manuscript), Niels Abel's studies on elliptical functions, published mostly in A. L. Crelle's Journal für reine und angewandte Mathematik, represented an important divide in treating this area. In 1829 Carl Jacobi's book Fundamenta nova theoriae functionum ellipticarum was published. At the time Gudermann was one of the first mathematicians to expand on these results. Beginning with volume 6 (1830) of Crelle's Journal, he published a series of papers which he later summarized in two books: Theorie der Potenzialoder cyklisch-hyperbolischen Functionen (1833) and Theorie der Modular-Functionen und der Modular-Integrale (1844), which were to have had a sequel which was never written." (DSB).Gudermann is known today for being the teacher of Karl Weierstrass, who took Gudermann's course in elliptic functions in 1839, the first to be taught in any institute. Weierstrass was greatly influenced by this course, which marked the direction of his own research.
