In this early textbook by mathematician Augustus De Morgan and first
published in 1836, serious students of math will find useful lessons,
explanations, and diagrams. Math and math textbooks of his time were
found to be generally inaccessible to the public at large, so De Morgan,
who believed that everyone should be educated in mathematics because it
was so essential to science and modern life, relies on simple,
straightforward, and easy-to-understand language, despite the depth of
his topic. Among the areas covered here are: infinitely small
quantities, infinite series, ratios of continuously increasing or
decreasing quantities, and algebraical geometry. British mathematician
Augustus De Morgan (1806-1871) invented the term mathematical induction.
Among his many published works is Trigonometry and Double Algebra and A
Budget of Paradoxes.
