Synopsis

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Elements of Algebra: Designed for the Use of Those Who Are Acquainted Only With the First Principles of Arithmetic; Selected From the Algebra of Euler

None but those who are just entering upon the study of Mathematics need to be informed of the high character of Euler's Algebra. It has been allowed to hold the very first place among elementary works upon this subject. The author was a man of genius. He did not, like most writers, compile from others. He wrote from his own reflections. He simplified and im proved what was known, and added much that was new. He is particularly distinguished for the olearness and comprehensiveness of his views. He seems to have the subject of which he treats present to his mind in all its relations and hearings before he begins to write. The parts of it are arranged in the most admirable order. Each step is introduced by the preceding, and leads to that which follows, and the whole taken together constitutes an entire and connected piece, like a highly wrought story.
