Graphic Algebra; Or Geometrical Interpretation of the Theory of Equations of One Unknown Quantity: By Phillips and W. Beebe (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Of late years Graphical Methods have been used with great profit in many departments of science. Such methods give a clear and comprehensive view of the facts of observation, and, by suggesting new relations, furnish a valuable means of formulating new laws. Their importance in solving many problems in applied mathematics is also very generally recognized. In interpreting analytical expressions and illustrating analytical processes in pure mathematics such methods are equally valuable. They accustom the student to take into account not merely one detail at a time of a complex operation, but show at a glance all the results in their proper relations. Such methods are well adapted to the presentation of the principles and processes of the Theory of Equations. The Theory of Equations is a subject so essential in all the applications of Mathematical Analysis that the student should be made familiar with it early in his course. But at this stage he is not prepared to appreciate the very general analytical demonstrations found in treatises on this subject. He is not accustomed to such methods of reasoning, and, although he may not be able to find any flaws in the logic, he is not familiar with the conceptions employed, and cannot give any tangible form to his ideas. Therefore they are vague and unsatisfactory. Knowledge so sought is soon lost, and the only permanent result of such study is a loose way of thinking.

Graphic Algebra (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book uniquely elucidates the core principles of Graphical Algebra, a method of visualizing equations through the use of lines (either straight or curved) that plot the relationship between two unknown quantities. The author steers clear of overly complex analytical proofs, opting instead for a method that enables students to not only solve problems but to visualize the solutions in a geometric context. In doing so, this book provides a foundation for the study of Analytical Geometry and Calculus. It is ideal for students who have mastered quadratic equations and the principle of similar triangles and who are seeking to gain a clearer understanding of the principles and processes of the Theory of Equations. By presenting these abstract principles in a concrete form, this book helps students grasp complex concepts in a way that is both clear and memorable. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781451019735_0
