Lessons on Higher Algebra: With an Appendix on the Nature of Mathematical Reasoning (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Lessons on Higher Algebra: With an Appendix on the Nature of Mathematical Reasoning
The following Lessons have been prepared for use in a brief course in Algebra offered in the first part of the second semester, freshman year, at Wellesley College. An effort has been made to give unity to the work by proposing one general problem, - the discovery of the roots of Higher Numerical Equations. Everything has been omitted which does not bear directly on the solution of this problem. It hardly need be added that in so brief a presentation of the subject only the more important theorems could be included. The essentials of the Theory of Logarithms have been presented, preliminary to the study of Trigonometry.
