The emphasis is on algebra, but there are a few sections on geometry as well. The following are the section or chapter titles: "Notation," "Addition," "Subtraction," "Multiplication," "Division," "Involution," "Evolution," "The Reduction of Fractional and Radical Quantities," "Of Equations: The Reduction of single Equations; The Extermination of unknown Quantities, or the reduction of two or more equations to a single one," "Of Arithmetical and Geometrical Proportions," "The Solution of Arithmetical Problems," "The Resolution of Equations of Several Dimensions: Of the origin and composition of Equations; How to know whether some, or all the roots of an Equation be rational, and, if so, what they are; Another way of discovering the same thing, by means of Sir Isaac Newton's method of divisors; with the grounds and explanation of that method; Of the solution of cubic Equations according to Cardan; The same method extended to other, higher Equations; Of the solution of biquadratic Equations according to Des Cartes; The solution of biquadratics by a new method without the trouble of exterminating the second term; Cases of biquadratic Equations that may be reduced to quadratic ones; The resolution of literal Equations, wherein the given, and the unknown quantity are alike affected; The resolution of Equations by the common method of converging series; Another way, more exact; A third method; The method of converging series extended to surd Equations; A method of solving high Equations, when two, or more unknown quantities are concerned in each," "Of Indeterminate Problems," "The Investigation of the Sums of Powers," "Of Figurate Numbers: The Sums of Series, consisting of the reciprocals of figurate numbers, with others of the like nature; The sums of compound Progressions, arising from a series of powers drawn into the terms of a geometrical progression; The combinations of Quantities; A demonstration of Sir Isaac Newton's Binomial theorem," "Of Interest and Annuities: Annuities and Pensions in Arrear, computed at simple interest; The investigation of Theorems for the solution of the various cases in compound interest and annuities," "Of Plane Trigonometry," and "The Application of Algebra to the Solution of Geometrical Problems: An easy way of constructing, or finding the roots of a quadratic equation, geometrically; A demonstration why a problem is impossible when the square root of a negative quantity is concerned; A method for discovering whether the root of a radical quantity can be extracted; The manner of taking away radical quantities from the denominator of a fraction, and transferring them to the numerator; A method for determining the roots of certain high Equations, by means of the section of an angle; The geometrical construction of a large variety of linear, and plane Problems; with the manner of resolving the same numerically.". …
