| He considered computation with irrational numbers and polynomials to be part of algebra. |
| Arabic mathematicians learned to manipulate polynomials, to solve certain algebraic equations, and more. |
| The papers look at algebraic curves, the Riemann Roch theorem and algebraic polynomials. |
| He distinguished between these structures using numerical invariants based on the Todd polynomials. |
| He generalised Gauss's method of quadrature and expressed the polynomials which are involved as a determinant. |
| If fifth-degree polynomials are so hard, what can one do with transcendental functions of a complex variable? |
