‎---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE ---- "Newton's Arithmetica universalis consists of algebraical lectures delivered by him during the first nine years he was professor at Cambridge... It contains new and important results on the theory of equations. Newton states Descartes'rule of signs in accurate form and gives formulae expressing the sum of the powers of the roots up to the sixth power and by an 'and so on' makes it evident that they can be extended to any higher power...".
