‎---- En dépit des défauts signalés BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- Seconde traduction française et la première par D. BERNOULLI avec des notes et additions de J.L. LAGRANGE ---- Second edition in french of Euler's Vollständige Anleitung zur Algebra (1770). THE TRANSLATION was made by J. BERNOUILLI and CONTAINS NUMEROUS and VALUABLE ADDITIONS by LAGRANGE ---- "Euler's Vollständige Anleitung zur Algebra first appeared in Russian translation in 1768/1769 ; it went through numerous german, french, english, italian, dutch and russian editions" ---- "This book greatly influenced nineteenth and twentieth-century texts on the subject". (DSB IV p. 475) ---- "The first volume treats of determinate algebra. This contains one of the earliest attempts to place the fundamental processes on a scientific basis ; the same subject had attracted D'Alembert's attention. This work also includes the proof of the binomial theorem for an unrestricted real index... The second volume of the algebra treats of indeterminate or Diophantine algebra. This contains the solutions of some of the problems proposed by Fermat and which had hitherto remained unsolved". (Ball"A short history of the Hist. of math.", p. 397)**8014/ARB4‎
