Synopsis
Excerpt from The Solution of Equations
It is the intention of the publishers and editors to add other monographs to the series from time to time, if the call for the same seems to warrant it. Among the topics which are under consideration are those of elliptic functions, the theory of num bers, the group theory, the calculus of variations,' and non Euclidean geometry; possibly also monographs on branches of astronomy, mechanics, and mathematical physics may be included. It is the hope of the editors that this form of publication may tend to promote mathematical study and research over a wider field than that which the former volume has occupied.

The Solution of Equations (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Beginning with the dawn of algebra as a distinct mathematical discipline, this book traces the history of equation-solving techniques through contributions by notable mathematicians. From ancient Babylonian methods of solving linear equations to more advanced methods developed by sixteenth- and seventeenth-century scholars like Cardano and Newton, the author presents a comprehensive overview of classical methods for finding numerical solutions to polynomial equations. Along the way, the author examines special techniques for approximating the roots of equations, including graphical methods, numeric iteration with regula falsi and Newton's method, and methods based on the properties of cubic and quartic equations such as Vieta's formulas. The book masterfully explains how the search for efficient and effective equation-solving methods has played a pivotal role in the development of algebra, with far-reaching implications for other branches of mathematics as well as non-mathematical applications in science, engineering, and statistics. Providing insights into when to use each method to achieve the best results, the book is recommended to those who seek a better understanding of the rich history of algebra. 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 # 9781330338162_0
