Publisher's Synopsis
""An Algebra of Ratios, Founded on Simple and General Definitions: With a Theory of Exponents Extended to Incommensurable Ratios"" is a mathematical textbook written by Henry Bailey Browning and first published in 1849. The book deals with the algebraic manipulation of ratios and provides a comprehensive theory of exponents that is applicable to both commensurable and incommensurable ratios. Browning's approach is based on the use of simple and general definitions, which he believes provide a more intuitive understanding of the subject matter. The book is intended for students and practitioners of mathematics who are interested in the study of ratios and their properties. It is a seminal work in the field of algebraic ratio theory and has been influential in the development of modern mathematical notation and terminology. Overall, ""An Algebra of Ratios"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of mathematical theory and practice.And The Propositions Of The Fifth Book Of Euclid, Easily And Symbolically Deduced.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
