Description for General Theory of Algebraic Equations
Hardback. Presents the author's approach to solving systems of polynomial equations in several variables. This book introduces the revolutionary notion of the "polynomial multiplier," which simplifies the problem of variable elimination by reducing it to a system of linear equations. Translator(s): Feron, Eric. Num Pages: 368 pages, Illustrations, facsim. BIC Classification: PBF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 239 x 163 x 31. Weight in Grams: 658.
This book provides the first English translation of Bezout's masterpiece, the General Theory of Algebraic Equations. It follows, by almost two hundred years, the English translation of his famous mathematics textbooks. Here, Bezout presents his approach to solving systems of polynomial equations in several variables and in great detail. He introduces the revolutionary notion of the "polynomial multiplier," which greatly simplifies the problem of variable elimination by reducing it to a system of linear equations. The major result presented in this work, now known as "Bezout's theorem," is stated as follows: "The degree of the final equation resulting from an ... Read more

About Etienne Bézout
Etienne Bezout (1730-1783) is credited with the invention of the determinant (named Bezoutian by Sylvester) as well as several key innovations to solve simultaneous polynomial equations in many unknowns. By the time of his death, he was a member of the French Academy of Sciences and the Examiner of the Guards of the Navy and of the Corps of Artillery. ... Read more
Reviews for General Theory of Algebraic Equations
"This is not a book to be taken to the office, but to be left at home, and to be read on weekend, as a romance. We already know the plot, but here we meet all the characters, major and minor."
