This book is an abstract mathematical text that diverges from the geometry-based approach used by many authors in the field, and instead presents a system of rules that govern the association of extensive quantities with the numeric scale and among themselves. Furthermore, it establishes a higher level of generality by dispensing with the typical assumption that quantities are independent of one another. The book includes a study of the theory of linear combinations of extensive quantities, and also discusses vector algebra and the use of imaginary quantities expressed in a geometric context. One approach developed in the text to achieve these goals is the transformation of linear quantities into products in which the units of measurement appear as factors, and the author explains how this transformation can be applied to solve problems in physical statics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
