Algebra is probably the most difficult aspect of mathematics to teach successfully and it is widely viewed by pupils as "boring" and "pointless". Nonetheless, it provides the key to the great power and potential interest of mathematics. At a time when much is being done to improve children's understanding of number, algebra teaching is too often characterized by ineffective rote learning approaches with little heed being taken of research findings and the potential of technology. This authoritative book shows a way forward.
The material from function theory, up to the residue calculus, is developed in a lively and vivid style, well motivated throughout by examples and practice exercises. Additionally, there is ample discussion of the historical evolution of the theory, biographical sketches of important contributors, and citations (original language together with English translation) from their classical works. Yet the book is far from being a mere history of function theory. Even experts will find here few new or long forgotten gems, like Eisenstein's novel approach to the circular functions.
