Excerpt from An Introduction to Determinants: With Numerous Examples for the Use of Schools and Colleges
The present work, prepared for the use of Students, and recommended for use as a text-book in the University of Edinburgh, contains the substance of the course of lectures on Determinants delivered by the author, during the Summer Sessions 1880, 1881, to the students attending the Advanced Tutorial Mathematical Class in the University.
The want of a systematic elementary treatise on Deter minants has long been felt by students entering the higher departments of Mathematics. To supply, to some extent, this want, and to render an interesting and beautiful branch of Mathematical Analysis more accessible to junior students, is the object of this little treatise.
