Initiation Mathematique (1906)

Initiation Mathematique (1906) is a mathematical textbook written by Charles Ange Laisant. The book is designed to introduce students to the fundamental concepts of mathematics, including arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. It is organized into chapters that cover each of these topics in detail, with numerous examples and exercises to help students develop their skills and understanding.The book begins with a review of basic arithmetic operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It then moves on to algebra, covering topics such as equations, functions, and polynomials. The chapter on geometry covers the basics of Euclidean geometry, including points, lines, angles, and circles. The final chapter focuses on trigonometry, including the definitions of sine, cosine, and tangent, as well as their applications in solving triangles.Throughout the book, Laisant emphasizes the importance of understanding mathematical concepts and their applications, rather than simply memorizing formulas and procedures. He also includes historical and cultural references to provide context and interest for students.Initiation Mathematique is a comprehensive and accessible textbook that provides a solid foundation for further study in mathematics. It is suitable for students at the high school or college level, as well as anyone interested in learning mathematics for their own personal enrichment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
