Excerpt from The Theory of Equations

We shall be employed mainly with such algebraical func tions as are rational and integral. By a rational function of a quantity is meant one which contains that quantity in a rational form only; that is, a form free from fractional indices or radical signs. By an integral function of a quantity is meant one in which the quantity enters in an integral form only; that is, never in the denominator of a fraction.
