Number and Its Algebra e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I must not be understood as advancing anything new to mathematicians, though I know of no English text-book which consistently expounds and maintains the theories of number and algebra here presented. The work is ad dressed, not to mathematicians, but to inquiring students and teachers. A sound doctrine of number and its algebra seems to be left by our text-books to chance inference, or deferred to stages seldom reached in undergraduate courses of study. A straightforward development, comprehensible by beginners, of the number concept would be of immense service in mathematical instruction.
