1. An Attempt to Elucidate and Apply Mr Warren's Doctrine respecting the Square Root of Negative Quantities

  • Terrot
Extract

The author shewed, in the first place, that the successive radii of a circle forming equal angles with one another, are properly symbolized by the successive expressions, &c., where α is the arithmetical length of the radius, and the angle which the several radii make with one another. He proceeded to shew how this theory of symbols, first advanced by Mr Warren, is applicable to the problems of plane trigonometry.
