Sinopsis

Excerpt from Lessons Higher Algebra With an Appendix on the Nature of Mathematical Reasoning

The following Lessons have been prepared for use in a brief course in Algebra offered in the first part of the second semester, freshman year, at Wellesley College. An effort has been made to give unity to the work by proposing one general problem, - the discovery of the roots of Higher Numerical Equations. Everything has been omitted which does not bear directly on the solution of this problem. It hardly need be added that in so brief a presentation of the subject only the more important theorems could be included. The essentials of the Theory of Logarithms have been presented, preliminary to the study of Trigonometry.

Excerpt from Lessons Higher Algebra With an Appendix on the Nature of Mathematical Reasoning

Mathematics will ever remain the most perfect type of the Deductive Method in general; and the applications of mathematics to the deductive branches of physics furnish the only school in which philosophers can effectually learn the most difficult and important portion of their art, the employment of the laws of simpler phenomena for explaining and predicting those of the more complex. These grounds are quite sufficient for deeming mathematical training an indispensable basis of real scientific education, and regarding (according to the dictum which an old but unau-thentic tradition ascribes to Plato) one who is iyew/itTpitTos, as wanting in one of the most essential qualifications for the successful cultivation of the higher branches of philosophy.-John Stuabt Mill : System of Logic.

Je me plaisais surtout aux mathfimatiques, & cause de la certitude et de 1'Evidence de leurs raisons; mais je ne remarquais point encore leur vrai usage, et, pensant qu'elles ne servaient qu'aux arts m&caniques, je m'etonnais de ce que, leur fondements 6tant si ferrnes et si solides, on n'avait rien b&ti dessus de plus relevG. - Descartes : Discours sur la Methode, 1687.
