Elements of Algebra: Embracing Also the Theory and Application of Logarithms; Together With an Appendix, Containing Infinite Series, the General ... the Higher Equations
Excerpt from Elements of Algebra
As the last three sections treat upon subjects that are sel dom called into use by the merely practical algebraist, and yet subjects that are indispensable as an introduction to the higher departments of mathematics, they have been thrown into the form of an Appendix. This work was commenced, and has been carried to its completion, amid the arduous duties incident to the charge of a large and ?ourishing seminary of learning. Yet labour and care have been bestowed upon every part of it, and that, too, while the author was daily engaged in instructing classes in this interesting and important branch of study and if, under these circumstances, he has been able to discover the wants of the student, and adapt his work to meet those wants, he will feel amply compensated for his toil.
