Scottish mathematician Colin MacLaurin (1698–1746) was born in Kilmoden, Argyll, Scotland, in February of 1698.[1]
This treatise of algebra includes a breakdown of basic algebraic formulas.[2] An instruction manual for schooling, this text also focuses on the application of algebra and geometry to each other and an Appendix containing the basic principles of geometrical lines.[3] Clarity and simplicity were the main goals of this volume in distilling the more abstruse theorems into a simple presentation.[4]
