Alfred North Whitehead (1861 1947) was equally celebrated as a
mathematician, a philosopher and a physicist. He collaborated with
his former student Bertrand Russell on the first edition of
Principia Mathematica (published in three volumes between 1910 and
1913), and after several years teaching and writing on physics and
the philosophy of science at University College London and Imperial
College, was invited to Harvard to teach philosophy and the theory
of education. A Treatise on Universal Algebra was published in
1898, and was intended to be the first of two volumes, though the
second (which was to cover quaternions, matrices and the general
theory of linear algebras) was never published. This book discusses
the general principles of the subject and covers the topics of the
algebra of symbolic logic and of Grassmann's calculus of extension.
