Princeton University Press Taming the Unknown
Book SynopsisWhat is algebra? For some, it is an abstract language of x's and y's. For mathematics majors and professional mathematicians, it is a world of axiomatically defined constructs like groups, rings, and fields. This title considers how these two seemingly different types of algebra evolved and how they relate.Trade Review"An excellent book; its accurate historical and pedagogical purpose offers an accessible read for historians and mathematicians."--Raffaele Pisano, Metascience "Well written and engaging with a wealth of useful material and a substantial bibliography for further reading, this book is a valuable resource for anyone with a serious interest in the history of algebra. With Taming the Unknown, Victor Katz and Karen Parshall have created a comprehensive synthesis of recent research on the subject, accessible to mathematicians, historians of mathematics and anyone involved in the teaching of algebra."--Adrian Rice, BSHM Bulletin "The authors have ... pitched their writing perfectly for their intended audience. The broad outline of the story is expressed in clear prose, combined with a judicious use of that other 'native tongue' of the college mathematics graduate, symbolic algebra... There is an extensive bibliography presenting the more detailed historical research that has been carried out... You could base a really nice third-year course on this book."--John Hannah, AestimatioTable of ContentsAcknowledgments xi 1 Prelude: What Is Algebra? 1 Why This Book? 3 Setting and Examining the Historical Parameters 4 The Task at Hand 10 2 Egypt and Mesopotamia 12 Proportions in Egypt 12 Geometrical Algebra in Mesopotamia 17 3 The Ancient Greek World 33 Geometrical Algebra in Euclid's Elements and Data 34 Geometrical Algebra in Apollonius's Conics 48 Archimedes and the Solution of a Cubic Equation 53 4 Later Alexandrian Developments 58 Diophantine Preliminaries 60 A Sampling from the Arithmetica: The First Three Greek Books 63 A Sampling from the Arithmetica: The Arabic Books 68 A Sampling from the Arithmetica: The Remaining Greek Books 73 The Reception and Transmission of the Arithmetica 77 5 Algebraic Thought in Ancient and Medieval China 81 Proportions and Linear Equations 82 Polynomial Equations 90 Indeterminate Analysis 98 The Chinese Remainder Problem 100 6 Algebraic Thought in Medieval India 105 Proportions and Linear Equations 107 Quadratic Equations 109 Indeterminate Equations 118 Linear Congruences and the Pulverizer 119 The Pell Equation 122 Sums of Series 126 7 Algebraic Thought in Medieval Islam 132 Quadratic Equations 137 Indeterminate Equations 153 The Algebra of Polynomials 158 The Solution of Cubic Equations 165 8 Transmission, Transplantation, and Diffusion in the Latin West 174 The Transplantation of Algebraic Thought in the Thirteenth Century 178 The Diffusion of Algebraic Thought on the Italian Peninsula and Its Environs from the Thirteenth Through the Fifteenth Centuries 190 The Diffusion of Algebraic Thought and the Development of Algebraic Notation outside of Italy 204 9 The Growth of Algebraic Thought in Sixteenth-Century Europe 214 Solutions of General Cubics and Quartics 215 Toward Algebra as a General Problem-Solving Technique 227 10 From Analytic Geometry to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra 247 Thomas Harriot and the Structure of Equations 248 Pierre de Fermat and the Introduction to Plane and Solid Loci 253 Albert Girard and the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra 258 Rene Descartes and The Geometry 261 Johann Hudde and Jan de Witt, Two Commentators on The Geometry 271 Isaac Newton and the Arithmetica universalis 275 Colin Maclaurin's Treatise of Algebra 280 Leonhard Euler and the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra 283 11 Finding the Roots of Algebraic Equations 289 The Eighteenth-Century Quest to Solve Higher-Order Equations Algebraically 290 The Theory of Permutations 300 Determining Solvable Equations 303 The Work of Galois and Its Reception 310 The Many Roots of Group Theory 317 The Abstract Notion of a Group 328 12 Understanding Polynomial Equations in n Unknowns 335 Solving Systems of Linear Equations in n Unknowns 336 Linearly Transforming Homogeneous Polynomials in n Unknowns: Three Contexts 345 The Evolution of a Theory of Matrices and Linear Transformations 356 The Evolution of a Theory of Invariants 366 13 Understanding the Properties of "Numbers" 381 New Kinds of "Complex" Numbers 382 New Arithmetics for New "Complex" Numbers 388 What Is Algebra?: The British Debate 399 An "Algebra" of Vectors 408 A Theory of Algebras, Plural 415 14 The Emergence of Modern Algebra 427 Realizing New Algebraic Structures Axiomatically 430 The Structural Approach to Algebra 438 References 449 Index 477
