Link of the Day: Gallica, la bibliothèque numérique

The Bibliothèque nationale de France has digitalized quite a lot of its books and has made them available online. As a mathematician, the first book I came across was Cauchy's Cours d'Analyse and subsequently I found Cantor's Beiträge zur Begründung der transfiniten Mengenlehre. While the interface takes some time to adapt to (especially if you do not speak French very well. What does "chemin de fer" mean on an internet site?!), it is quite powerfull and even allows downloading subsets of a book as a pdf (or tiff) file.
