1674 ALGEBRA 1^ed John Kersey Elements Mathematics Diophantus Cocker Arithmetic

John Kersey was an 18^th-century English mathematician who is primarily remembered for his studies in Algebra. His book “The Elements of that Mathematical Art commonly called Algebra” became the standard algebra text of the period so much so, that his methods of teaching algebra were used in the famed “Cocker’s Arithmetick”. Kersey’s ‘Algebra’ includes countless math problems and solutions with emphases in geometry and trigonometry, with references to Diophantus of Alexandria’s 3^rd-century Greek ‘Arithmetica’ and proofs.
