Higher Algebra

by Henry Sinclair Hall, Samuel Ratcliffe Knight

The Classic Texts Series is the only of its kind selection of classic pieces of work that started off as bestseller and continues to be the bestseller even today. These classic texts have been designed so as to work as elementary textbooks which play a crucial role in building the concepts from scratch as in-depth knowledge of concepts is necessary for students preparing for various entrance exams.The present book on Higher Algebra presents all the elements of Higher Algebra in a single book meant to work as textbook for the students beginning their preparation of the varied aspects covered under Higher Algebra. The present book has been divided into 35 chapters namely Ratio Proportion Variation Arithmetical Progression Geometrical Progression Harmonical Progression Theorems Connected with The Progression Scales of Notation Surds Imaginary Quantities The Theory of Quadratic Equations Miscellaneous Equations Permutations Combinations Mathematical Induction Binomial Theorem Positive Integral Index Binomial Theorem Any Index Multinational Theorem Logarithms Exponential Logarithmic Series Interest Annuities Inequalities Limiting Values Vanishing Fractions Convergency Divergency of Series Undetermined Coefficients Partial Fractions Recurring Series Continued Fractions Recurring Series Continued Fractions Indeterminate Equations of the First Degree Recurring Continued Fractions Indeterminate Equations of the Second Degree Summation of Series Theory of Numbers The General Theory of Continued Fractions Probability Determinants Miscellaneous Theorems Examples and Theory of Equations each subdivided into number of topics. The first few chapters in the book have been devoted to a fuller discussion of Ratio Proportions Variation and the Progressions. Both the theoretical text as well as examples have been treated minutely which will help in better understanding of the concepts covered in the book. Theoretical expl

Very fun book especially for high school kids who like challenging algebra-type problems. For most people including myself, it requires a solid background of Algebra 2 to enjoy. The math typesetting used back in those days is distinctive and rather pleasing.

Since this book was first published in the late 1800s in the United Kingdom, it is in the public domain now. You can get it as a free ebook from Google Play.

The word algebra comes from the Arabic الجبر (al-jabr lit. "the reunion of broken parts") from the title of the book Ilm al-jabr wa'l-muḳābala by the Persian mathematician and astronomer al-Khwarizmi. The word entered the English language during the fifteenth century, from either Spanish, Italian, or Medieval Latin. It originally referred to the surgical procedure of setting broken or dislocated bones. The mathematical meaning was first recorded in the sixteenth century.
