‎---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "When Salmon joined the staff of Trinity College in 1841, its mathematical school was already internationally known... There was a strong bias toward synthetic geometry in the school, and it was in this field that Salmon began his research work, although he shortly became interested in the algebraic theories... He played an important part in the applications of the theory of invariants and covariants of algebraic forms to the geometry of curves and surfaces... His chief fame as a mathematician, however rests on the series of textbooks that appeared between 1848 and 1862. These four treatises on conic sections, higher plane curves, modern algebra, and the geometry of three dimensions not only gave a comprehensive treatment of their respective fields but also were written with a clarity of expression and an elegance of style that made them models of what textbook should be... They remained for many years the standard advanced textbooks in their respective subjects". (DSB XII pp. 86/87)**4645/N6AR-8344/N7AR‎
