Kiselev's Elements of Algebra and Analysis, Part One
by A. P. Kiselev
Translated by Valery Manokhin, PhD
Part One builds a connected foundation: algebraic notation and operations, signed numbers, identities, equations and inequalities, polynomials, fractions, ratio and proportion, functions, coordinates and graphs, powers, roots and irrational numbers, progressions, logarithms with four-figure tables, compound interest and the binomial theorem. A distinct work from the 1888 Elementary Algebra.
