Présentation de l'éditeur
In the early part of this century it was possible for an industrious student to acquire a comprehensive if not minute knowledge of the entire realm of mathematical science. The more eminent minds of that time, like Lagrange, Laplace, and Gauss, were about equally familiar with all branches of pure and applied mathematics. Since that epoch the tendency has been constantly towards specialization; and additions to pure theory along with extensions of applications have been made with increasing rapidity, until now the mere quantity of information available presents a formidable obstacle to the simultaneous attainment of the breadth and depth of knowledge which characterized the mathematician of a generation ago. It would appear, however, that this obstacle is due to the bewildering mass of details rather than to any considerable increase in the number of fundamental principles. Hence the student who seeks to gain a comprehensive view of the mathematics of the present day needs most of all that sort of guidance which fixes his attention on essentials and prevents him from wasting valuable time and energy in the pursuit of nonessentials. During the past twenty years a marked change of opinion has occurred as to the aims and methods of mathematical instruction. The old ideas that mathematical studies should be pursued to discipline the mind, and that such studies were ended when an elementary course in the calculus had been covered, have for the most part disappeared.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores solutions to algebraic and transcendental equations, a fundamental topic in mathematics. The author begins from the historical origins of the subject, discussing methods for solving quadratic, cubic, and quartic equations developed prior to the 19th century. These are then extended with powerful techniques for finding both real and complex roots of any polynomial equation. Also covered are graphical, numerical, and algebraic techniques for finding the real roots of transcendental equations. The author's clear presentation and inclusion of historical context make this text an excellent resource for students of algebra and mathematics enthusiasts alike, enriching their understanding of this essential mathematical topic. 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. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330067901_0
