✦ Synopsis
This Is A Facsimile Reprint Of John Hewlett's 1840 Translation Of Euler's Algebra And Lagrange's Additions Thereto. Most Of Euler's Contribution Is Elementary, Nothing More Advanced Than Solving Quartic Equations, But Worth Having In Order To Appreciate His Leisurely And Effective Style--would That More Great Mathematicians Wrote So Well And To Such Pedagogic Effect. However, One Third Of The Book Is His Lucid Treatment Of Questions In Number Theory, And It Is This Material That Drew Lagrange's Comments. Here For The First Time Are The Rigorous Treatments Of Continued Fractions And Pell's.
