Excerpt from A Course of Mathematics, Vol. 1 of 2: For the Use of Academies as Well as Private Tuition
6. A Theorem is a demonstrative Proposition; in which some property is asserted, and the truth of it required to be proved. Thus, when it is said that, The sum of the three an les of a plane triangle is equal to two right angles, that is a boorom, the truth of which is demonstrated by Geometry. - A set or collection of such Theorems constitutes a Theory.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental principles of mathematics, offering a comprehensive exploration of its core concepts and methods. The author, writing in a clear and accessible style, guides the reader through the key elements of arithmetic, geometry, algebra, and motion, which are collectively known as "Pure Mathematics." The book then delves into the practical applications of these branches in "Mixed Mathematics," illustrating how abstract mathematical concepts can be applied to real-world situations. Throughout the text, the author meticulously explains definitions, axioms, theorems, and problems, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding the discipline. This work, written in a period when mathematical knowledge was rapidly evolving, demonstrates the power of mathematical thinking in revealing the underlying structure of the universe. The book's thorough analysis of the various aspects of mathematical study, and its emphasis on the relationship between pure and applied mathematics, offers a valuable glimpse into the evolution of this essential field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
