由於叢書中數學類封面基本一致，就不再截圖了。英文文字版，清晰度是沒說的。語言也比較精練，做為讀物，也還是不錯。說是英文，但大多詞並不是太難，多讀幾次，加上翻譯軟件，也可以無意間學到不少東西。
本書是 Britannica Guide to 系列中的Math Explained（數學講解）中的第一本，代數與幾何。
內容介紹：
Algebra is the branch of mathematics in which arithmetical operations and formal manipulations areapplied to abstract symbols, known as variables, ratherthan to specifi c numbers. Algebra is fundamental not onlyto all further mathematics and statistics but to the naturalsciences, computer science, economics, and business.Along with writing, it is a cornerstone of modern scientifi cand technological civilization. Earlier civilizations—Babylonian, Greek, Indian, Chinese, and Islamic—allcontributed in important ways to the development ofalgebra. It was left for Renaissance Europe, though, todevelop an effi cient system for representing all realnumbers and a symbolism for representing unknowns,relations between them, and operations.
代數學是數學的部門在哪一個算術的操作和正式的處理被申請摘錄符號，像是變數，而非對特定的數字。代數學是基本的不只有至所有較進一步的數學和統計學但是對天然的科學，計算機科學、經濟學和生意。連同寫作一起，它是一個現代科學、科技文明的基石。較早的文明－巴比倫、希臘、以及印度、中國、和回教的－完全地在到代數學的發展的重要的路中有助於。它被前往文藝復興歐洲了，雖然，發展表現表現未知者，他們之間的關系，交集運算的所有實數和一種象征的一個有效率的系統。
