17076325Cambridge and London: Typis Academicis; Benj. Tooke 1707. First edition. Very Good/William Whiston the successor to Newton's chair at Cambridge "extracted from Newton a somewhat reluctant permission to print" this remarkable "schoolbook" based on Newton's lecture notes Babson Catalogue. So reluctant in fact that Newton kept his name out of it and supposedly considered purchasing the press run in order to destroy it! He later republished it himself. Several new theorems are laid out including a formula to determine the number of imaginary roots of any equation. The rule is complicated and is offered without proof. Yet 180 years later the rule was proven by rigorous analysis. The text also includes Edmond Halley's "Aequationum radices arithmetice inveniendi methodus. Octavo 19cm; 8 343 1 pages the last page blank . Figure and diagrams in text. Running-title: Algebrae elementa. Editor's preface signed: G.W. i.e. William Whiston. In contemporary paneled calf rebacked with new burgundy morocco spine label. Edges of boards rubbed. Early ink ownership inscriptions on blank endleaves the contemporary autograph of Edward Harington and the 19th-century mathematician William Fleetwood Sheppard. Half-title present.
