First Course in the Theory of Equations (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the theory of equations, a fundamental subject in mathematics that underpins many subsequent courses and applications. It serves as a natural continuation of geometry, algebra, and analytic geometry, and offers a detailed analysis of key calculus concepts through the lens of polynomial functions. The author aims to meet the diverse needs of students by providing simplified and detailed proofs, alongside an abundance of varied exercises, including practical applications. The book delves into classic problems that have captivated mathematicians for centuries, such as the trisection of an angle and the construction of regular polygons, offering insights into why certain constructions are impossible with only a ruler and compass. The text also examines the theory of graphs in a rigorous and practical manner, presenting a method for calculating real roots of equations with a high degree of accuracy. By exploring the works of mathematicians like Descartes, Sturm, and Budan, the author sheds light on techniques for isolating real roots, and introduces powerful tools such as determinants and matrices for solving systems of linear equations. The bookâ s exploration of these fundamental mathematical topics provides a valuable resource for students seeking a deeper understanding of the theory of equations and its applications.
