Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the nature of symbolic algebra by exploring the principles that underlie this method of expressing operations, which are typically defined by their purpose rather than their nature. The author, an acclaimed mathematician, was one of the few in his time to write a system of algebra based on the consideration of general principles. His work opened up new possibilities for the study of algebra and established the field as a science in its own right. It helped to clarify the relationship between different branches of mathematics and laid the foundation for further advancements in the field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Hardback. Condition: Good to Very Good. First Edition. 1865. First edition. xxiv, 267pp., a frontispiece portrait of Gregory and a folding plate at the end of the book followed by a 12 page publisher's catalogue dated August 1865. Duncan Farquharson Gregory (1813-1844) was a Scottish mathematician who was initially recognised for his essay The Foundations of Algebra presented to the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1838. In 1887 he founded and was the first editor of the Cambridge Mathematical Journal. In 1841 he published his 'Examples of the Processes of the Differential and Integral Calculus', which expanded on the earlier work of John Herschel, George Peacock and Charles Babbage. This collection of his mathematical writings has been edited by his friend and colleague William Walton, and includes a biographical memoir by Robert Leslie Ellis. The book is bound in the original brown cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in good to very good condition with some shelf wear and light soiling on the boards. The spine ends and corners are bumped with some damage and a little loss to the cloth at the spine ends. The cloth on the rear spine edge is split down most of its length with some small pieces missing. A hope repair has been carried out on this spine edge to prevent further damage and the spine flapping. The contents are tight and clean with light soiling on the endpapers and title page and some light foxing on the frontispiece portrait. The name W. ? Gregory has been written on the back of the frontispiece (could this be a relation of Duncan Gregory?), and pages 257 to 260 consist of a note on a problem in dynamics with pencil notes made on pages 257, 258 and 259. The front endpapers are split down the spine gutter and the rear endpapers are partially split. There is a newish name label of Sydney Ross on the front fixed endpaper and we believe this to be that of Professor Sydney Ross (1915-2013) a leading chemist, bibliophile and former Professor of Colloid Science at. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York. PLEASE NOTE: This is a valuable book and so extra postage will be required to cover insurance costs.
