Description:
Originally planned as a treatise on
decimal periods (Dec. 1753), Lambert developed this theme over the year
1754, but in Aug. 1755 decided to add his ideas on trinomials and their
solution methods to the treatise. It was written in the clear 1757 and
sent to the Acta Helvetica. Many topics developed in this paper, that
contains some of the most important mathematical ideas Lambert ever
conceived, were pursued in later years.
