DESCRIPTION:
Harvard (1936) and Princeton (1941) awarded him honorary doctorates. student, and Dickson initially accepted Harvard's offer, but chose to attend Chicago instead. Chicago countered by offering him a position in 1900, and he spent the balance of his career there. He attended the University of Texas at Austin, where George Bruce Halsted encouraged his study of mathematics. In 1896,
It differs essentially from the author's "Elementary Theory of Equations", both in regard to omissions and additions, and since it is addressed to younger students and may be used parallel with a course in differential calculus. Simpler and more detailed proofs are now employed. Answers to all the exercises are provided at the end of the book. This is a new, high quality, and affordable edition.. There are more than 480 exercises for students to practice. The exercises are simpler, more numerous, of greater variety, and involve more practical applications. Topics covered include complex numbers, roots of equations, the quadratic equation, graphical methods, cubic and quartic equations, numerical methods, systems of linear equations, etc. This is a new printing of the classic book by Dickson. It was to meet the numerous needs of the student in regard to his earlier and future math
"A real classic" according to parisnight. This slender book provides a clear and succinct approach to finding roots of polynomial equations as well as solving systems of linear equations and symmetric equations. Important theorems are proven and exercises strengthen the readers abilities. This is an example of a book whose clarity should set an examaple for current authors. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn the methods of solving equations. Thanks to the publisher for keeping this good book in print!. Marc said Not the best by this author, but awesome reprint. This is actually not the best work by the author, and his other book, elementary theory of equations is actually better than this.However, this is one of the best reprints of an old book I have ever seen. For someone to preprint a public domain text, they really have to justify to the consumer why.This is not some photocopy, and the publisher did a great job of scribbing the reprint into a clean new text.As far as the content. It is a bit abridged, and that was to make it a very very first course, but compared to his other works it could have . "Two Books" according to Robert McGee. The book is great. Unfortunately, in the confusion of trying to use the web site, I ordered two, when I only wanted one. The "order now" button, or something like that for current Amazon customers, is confusing. I could not tell if I had ordered it, so I went in as a new customer and bought one. Oh well. Rob McGee
in 1894, under Halsted's supervision. In 1896, when he was only 22 years of age, he was awarded Chicago's first doctorate in mathematics, for a dissertation titled The Analytic Representation of Substitutions on a Power of a Prime Number of Letters with a Discussion of the Linear Group, supervised by E. In 1899 and at the extraordinarily young age of 25, Dickson was appointed associate professor at the University of Texas. Dickson was the first recipient of a prize created in 1924 by The American Association for the Advancement of Science, for his work on the arithmetics of algebras. Dickson considered himself a Texan by virtue of having grown up in Cleburne, where his father was a banker, merchant, and real estate investor. At Chicago, he supervised 53 Ph.D. Moore. He was a visiting professor at the University of California in 1914, 1918, and 1922. theses; his most accomplished student was probably A. Chicago countered by offering him a position in 19
