Synopsis

Master the foundations of higher algebra with clear, step-by-step guidance on determinants and invariants.

This edition introduces how to work with minors, resultants, and covariants, building toward powerful methods used in symbolic algebra and systems of equations.

Accessible to readers with a solid math background, the book frames complex topics around practical techniques and classic proofs. It emphasizes relationships between determinants, eliminants, and discriminants, and shows how these ideas connect to solving polynomial systems and understanding symmetry in algebraic forms.

  • Learn the structure and use of determinants, minor expansions, and reciprocal systems.
  • Explore discriminants, invariants, covariants, and their roles in solving equations.
  • See methods for elimination, resultants, and expressing common roots with Jacobians and Hessians.
  • Discover canonical forms and symbolic techniques that unify quadratic, cubic, quartic, and quintic cases.

Ideal for readers seeking a rigorous, historical approach to higher algebra and its symbolic tools.
