Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an early exploration of complex numbers and the application of geometric constructions to visualize and solve problems otherwise impossible with real numbers alone. The author, working in the early 19th century, introduces the concept of representing complex numbers as points on a plane. He goes on to show how the ordinary operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division can be visualized with simple geometric constructions, expanding the utility of complex numbers as a tool for mathematical and scientific work. This expansion of complex numbers laid the groundwork for future discoveries such as Hamilton's quaternions, Grassmann's geometric algebra, and Cauchy's complex function theory. 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.…
