This important work illuminates the early modern roots of two very contemporary concerns, real estate values and pension/annuity funding. It places in historical context the work of an active group of eighteenth-century mathematicians, and gives a resonant example of the vagaries of 'technology transfer' from mathematical sciences to commercial activities.
