An Introduction to the History of Algebra: Solving Equations from Mesopotamian Times to the Renaissance - Brossura
Libro 24 di 25: Mathematical World
Sinossi
Sesiano begins just after 2000 BC and the solution of equations and systems of the first and second degrees, and ends just before AD 1600 and the solution of equations in the third and fourth degrees--the last in which the unknown may be expressed by means of a general formula. He identifies stages in solving equations during the intervening millennia, linking them to successive extensions of the number systems beyond positive integers and fractions to embrace positive irrational numbers, negative numbers timidly towards the end of the Middle Ages, and finally complex numbers shortly after that. The pages are few for so long a scope, he confesses, but still he devotes some to appending selected texts in their original language. Une Introduction á l'histoire de l'algèbre; Résolution des équations des Mésopotamiens á la Renaissance was published by Preses Polytechniques et Universitaires Romandes, Lausanne in 1999, and is translated by Anna Pierrehumbert.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 'This text should not be viewed as a comprehensive history of algebra before 1600, but as a basic introduction to the types of problems that illustrate the earliest forms of algebra. It would be particularly useful for an instructor who is looking for examples to help enliven a course on elementary algebra with problems drawn from actual historical texts' - Warren Van Egmond about the French edition for ""MathSciNet"". This book does not aim to give an exhaustive survey of the history of algebra up to early modern times but merely to present some significant steps in solving equations and, wherever applicable, to link these developments to the extension of the number system. Various examples of problems, with their typical solution methods, are analyzed, and sometimes translated completely. Indeed, it is another aim of this book to ease the reader's access to modern editions of old mathematical texts, or even to the original texts; to this end, some of the problems discussed in the text have been reproduced in the appendices in their original language (Greek, Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, French, German, Provencal, and Italian) with explicative notes.
