Elementary Treatise On Determinants (1888)

""Elementary Treatise On Determinants"" is a mathematical textbook written by William Guy Peck and first published in 1888. The book deals with the topic of determinants, which are mathematical objects used to solve systems of linear equations and to calculate areas and volumes. The book starts with an introduction to matrices and their properties, which are necessary to understand determinants. Then, the book delves into the theory of determinants, including their definition, properties, and methods of calculation. The book also covers applications of determinants, such as solving linear equations, finding areas and volumes, and solving problems in geometry and physics. The book is aimed at students of mathematics and physics who have a basic knowledge of algebra and calculus. It is written in a clear and concise style, with many worked examples and exercises to help readers understand the concepts presented. Overall, ""Elementary Treatise On Determinants"" is a classic textbook on a fundamental topic in mathematics, which is still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
