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
Some opinion may be formed of the adapta tion of this treatise to learners, from the cir cumstances under which it was composed. It was undertaken after the author became blind, and was dictated to a young man entirelylwith out education, 'who by this means became an expert algebraist, and was able to render the author important services as an amanuensis. It was written originally in Germany It has since been translated into Russian, French, and English, with notes and additions.
The entire work, consists Of two volumes octavo, and contains many things intended for the professed mathematician, rather than the general student. It' was thought that a selec tion of such parts as would form an easy intro duction'to the science would be well received, and tend to promote a taste for analysis among the highe'r'class of students, and to raise the character of mathematical learning.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the first English translation of Leonhard Euler's seminal work on algebra, Introductio in Analysin infinitorum. Originally written in Latin, this book formed the foundation of much of what we now know to be modern algebra. The author explores the concept of functions, or "analytical expressions" as he calls them, which provided the basis of the development of the calculus and mathematical analysis in the centuries to come. Euler's work bridges the gap between elementary algebra and the ideas of Newton and Leibniz, opening the door to the world of mathematical analysis and providing a new and powerful method for solving complex problems in physics, engineering, and other fields. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
