First Course In The Theory Of Equation (1922)

""First Course In The Theory Of Equation"" is a comprehensive textbook written by Leonard Eugene Dickson and published in 1922. The book is designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of the theory of equations and the various techniques used to solve them. The book is divided into three main sections: algebraic equations, transcendental equations, and the theory of groups. In the first section, Dickson covers topics such as the fundamental theorem of algebra, symmetric functions, and the solution of equations by radicals. The second section focuses on transcendental equations, including topics such as exponential and logarithmic equations, trigonometric equations, and elliptic functions. The third section of the book introduces the theory of groups, which is a fundamental concept in modern mathematics. Dickson provides a detailed introduction to the theory of groups, including group operations, subgroups, and the classification of groups. Throughout the book, Dickson provides numerous examples and exercises to help students develop their problem-solving skills. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to students with a basic understanding of algebra and calculus. Overall, ""First Course In The Theory Of Equation"" is an essential textbook for students of mathematics, providing a solid foundation in the theory of equations and the theory of groups.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
