Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of maxima and minima problems, a fundamental area of study in mathematics. The author, driven by a desire to solve these problems using algebraic principles rather than the more advanced differential calculus, presents a unique approach to the subject. By exploring the use of imaginary roots in quadratic equations, the book lays a foundation for solving more complex problems that involve cubic and higher-order equations. The author's innovative method, developed over three years of dedicated research, demonstrates a new way to tackle cubic equations within the context of maxima and minima. The book then expands upon these methods, tackling problems involving equations of the fourth, fifth, and sixth degree, as well as those incorporating multiple variables. The book culminates in a supplement exploring solutions for specific equations of increasing complexity. Drawing upon various mathematical texts of the time, the author presents a comprehensive collection of problems and solutions that illuminate the power and elegance of algebraic approaches to maxima and minima. This work, intended for students and lovers of science, offers valuable insights into the mathematical challenges of its time, showcasing the author's dedication to finding new and accessible ways to solve fundamental mathematical problems.
