Excerpt from The Mathematician, Vol. 3
That the Editors have spared no trouble must be evident from an inspection of the work. In order to economise the funds so as to be able to continue the work thus far, they have been obliged (in addition to the ordinary duties of Editors) to take upon themselves the labour of the entire reading of the proof sheets from the beginning. This labour, indeed, became so continuous, that it occupied almost the whole of their disposable time.
This explanation will, the Editors trust, be satisfactory, both as a reason for the discontinuance of the work, and for any oversights that may be detected in any part of it: but they cannot adequately express their pleasure in the many agreeable associations which their task has produced - associations which will not be severed with the existence of the work in which they originated.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical development of Algebra over nearly four millennia, from its precedents in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia to the development of complex numbers in the sixteenth century. Detailing the contributions of those who shaped Algebra's history, the text follows its evolution from a collection of procedures for solving simple equations to the complex and diverse system of today. Throughout, the author highlights how Algebra's evolution mirrored the broader intellectual and cultural conditions of its time, responding to the demands of science, philosophy, and commerce. The book shows how Algebra has transformed mathematics and its applications, becoming a cornerstone of modern science and technology and a tool that continues to grow in power and versatility.
