Overview

AUTHOR'S PREFACE. THE following pages are designed as supplementary to the discussions of equations in college text-books, and several methods of solution not commonly given in such works are presented and exemplified. The aim kept in view has been that of the determination. of the numerical values of the roots of numerical equations, and algebraic analysis has been used only to further this end. Historical references are given, problems stated as exercises for the student, and the attempt has everywhere been made to present the subject clearly and concisely. The volume has not been written for those thoroughly conversant with the theory of equations, but rather for students of mathematics, computers, and engineers. This edition has been enlarged by the addition of five articles which render the former treatment more complete and also give recent investigations regarding the expression of roots in series. While not designed for college classes, it is hoped that the book may prove useful to postgraduate students in mathematics, physics and engineering, and also tend to promote general interest in mathematical science.
