by François Daniel Porro (Author)
L'algèbre Selon Ses Vrais Principes, written by François Daniel Porro and originally published in 1789, presents a critical examination of the principles of algebraic calculation as they were understood in the 18th century. Porro argues that the accepted principles of his time were flawed and led to incorrect results. This work offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical development of mathematical thought and provides insight into the challenges faced by mathematicians in establishing a solid foundation for algebraic reasoning. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of mathematics, particularly the evolution of algebraic principles and methodologies. This edition preserves the original text, allowing readers to engage directly with Porro's arguments and perspectives.
