Originally published in 1820, this is an early work by the renowned mathematician and inventor Charles Babbage (1791-1871). The text was written to provide mathematical students with an accessible introduction to functional equations, an area that had been previously absent from elementary mathematical literature. A short bibliography is also contained. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Babbage and the history of mathematics.
