Excerpt from An Introduction to Determinants: With Numerous Examples for the Use of Schools and Colleges
The present work, prepared for the use of Students, and recommended for use as a text-book in the University of Edinburgh, contains the substance of the course of lectures on Determinants delivered by the author, during the Summer Sessions 1880, 1881, to the students attending the Advanced Tutorial Mathematical Class in the University.
The want of a systematic elementary treatise on Deter minants has long been felt by students entering the higher departments of Mathematics. To supply, to some extent, this want, and to render an interesting and beautiful branch of Mathematical Analysis more accessible to junior students, is the object of this little treatise.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a seminal work in mathematics, introduces the fundamental concepts, notational systems, and theoretical underpinnings of determinants. It targets students who seek to gain a deep understanding of determinants beyond the scope of introductory material. The author presents the subject in a clear and structured manner, carefully defining determinants and elucidating their properties. Through a series of theorems, the author explores various aspects of determinants, including their expansion, reduction, multiplication, and inverses. The book also delves into the application of determinants in solving equations and understanding geometrical transformations. Notably, the author demonstrates how determinants can be used to determine the area of a triangle, the volume of a parallelepiped, and the solution of systems of linear equations. The insights presented in this book provide a comprehensive foundation for further study in linear algebra, matrix theory, and other mathematical disciplines where determinants play a vital role. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
