It follows, by almost two hundred years, the English translation of his famous mathematics textbooks. Here, Bézout presents his approach to solving systems of polynomial equations in several variables and in great detail. He introduces the revolutionary notion of the "polynomial multiplier," which greatly simplifies the problem of variable elimination by reducing it to a system of linear equations. The major result presented in this work, now known as "Bézout's theorem," is stated as follows: "The degree of the final equation resulting from an arbitrary number of complete equations containing the same number of unknowns and with arbitrary degrees is equal to the product of the exponents of the degrees of these equations." The book offers large numbers of results and insights about conditions for polynomials to share a common factor, or to share a common root. It also provides a state-of-the-art analysis of the theories of integration and differentiation of functions in the late eighteenth century, as well as one of the first uses of determinants to solve systems of linear equations. Polynomial multiplier methods have become, today, one of the most promising approaches to solving complex systems of polynomial equations or inequalities, and this translation offers a valuable historic perspective on this active research field.Equations, Theory ofMathematicsElectronic books.Equations, Theory of.Mathematics.512.9/4SK 230rvkBézout Etienne1730-1783.331688Feron Eric1967-1049496MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459490203321General theory of algebraic equations2478558UNINA02703oam 2200673I 450 991046301410332120200520144314.00-203-59491-61-299-15684-31-135-07174-810.4324/9780203594919 (CKB)2670000000331333(EBL)1125232(OCoLC)828298597(SSID)ssj0000827750(PQKBManifestationID)12282100(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000827750(PQKBWorkID)10830292(PQKB)11637646(OCoLC)844348308(MiAaPQ)EBC1125232(Au-PeEL)EBL1125232(CaPaEBR)ebr10659421(CaONFJC)MIL446934(OCoLC)827944774(EXLCZ)99267000000033133320180706d2013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe political economy of disaster destitution, plunder and earthquake in Haiti /Mats LundahlAbingdon, Oxon :Routledge,2013.1 online resource (465 p.)Routledge explorations in economic historyDescription based upon print version of record.1-138-90264-0 0-415-81608-4 Includes bibliographical references and index.pt.

The earthquake and after.Haiti, one of the least developed and most vulnerable nations in the Western Hemisphere, made the international headlines in January 2010 when an earthquake destroyed the capital, Port-au-Prince. More than a year later, little reconstruction has taken place, in spite of a strong international funding commitment. Mats Lundahl has written several seminal works on Haiti, and this volume brings together the best of his past work on Haiti's economic and political history, along with a comprehensive introduction and two new chapters which bring the story right up to thRoutledge Explorations in Economic HistoryHaiti Earthquake, Haiti, 2010Economic aspectsEconomic assistanceHaitiHaitiEconomic conditions1971-HaitiEconomic policyElectronic books.Haiti Earthquake, Haiti, 2010Economic aspects.Economic assistance330.97294Lundahl Mats1946-,129849MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463014103321The political economy of disaster1913454UNINA
