Imaginary Quantities: Their Geometrical Interpretation (1881) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165416707)

Imaginary Quantities: Their Geometrical Interpretation is a book written by Jean Robert Argand in 1881. The book explores the concept of imaginary numbers and their geometrical interpretation. Argand was a Swiss mathematician who is best known for his contributions to the development of complex numbers. In this book, he provides a clear and concise explanation of the principles behind imaginary numbers and how they can be used to solve mathematical problems. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of imaginary numbers. Argand begins by introducing the concept of imaginary numbers and explaining how they are related to real numbers. He then goes on to explore the geometrical interpretation of imaginary numbers, showing how they can be represented on a complex plane. The book also includes numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand the concepts presented. Overall, Imaginary Quantities: Their Geometrical Interpretation is an important work in the history of mathematics and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of complex numbers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
