Excerpt from Trigonometry and Double Algebra
The work before the reader is entirely new, not being in any sense a second edition of that which I published on the same subject in 1837.

The work before the reader is entirely new, not being in any sense a second edition of that which I published on the same subject in 1837. It consists of two books. In the first, I have endeavoured to give the student who has a competent knowledge of arithmetic and algebra as much for instance as is contained in my works on those subjects, to which reference is made in various places a view of trigonometry, as a branch of algebra and a constituent part of the foundation of the higher mathematics. In the second, I have given an elementary view of algebra in its purely symbolic character, with the application of that geometrical basis of significance which affords explanation of every symbol. The term doMe algebra has not yet obtained currency, though that of triple algebra has, of late years, been much employed.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a groundbreaking exploration of the evolving field of algebra, charting its journey from a set of rules and symbols to a sophisticated science capable of grappling with complex concepts. The author delves into the historical development of algebra, highlighting the works of mathematicians who have shaped our understanding of this discipline. Particular attention is given to the emergence and interpretation of "impossible quantities" such as negative and imaginary numbers, demonstrating how algebra has evolved to encompass these once-baffling concepts. The book delves into the intricacies of trigonometry, exploring its relationship with algebra and its role as a foundational element of higher mathematics. The concept of "double algebra" is introduced, where symbols represent objects with multiple qualities, similar to how a line has both length and direction. This innovative approach offers a deeper understanding of algebraic symbols and their geometric significance. Through a comprehensive analysis of trigonometrical functions, formulae, and their applications, the author unveils the power of algebra in solving problems related to angles, triangles, and periodic magnitudes. The book's insights challenge conventional notions of mathematical possibility, revealing the profound elegance and explanatory power of algebra in understanding the world around us.
