Algebra Cross-national interaction 19th century United States Lacroix, Sylvestre François Bourdon, Louis Pierre Marie (1779-1854)

Sylvestre-François Lacroix's Éléments d'algèbre were published at Harvard College in 1818. The book came with the modernization of a curriculum that had relied on British textbooks the presentation and contents of which were very different. As it changed the expectations of American readers, this translation also changed learning methods. From 1830, adaptations of French algebra textbooks continued to be published but they offered more and more significant transformations of the French books, in order better to fit local needs. The mixture of French and British methods found fertile and long-lived expression on the American soil, in particular within the corpus of adaptations of the French Eléments d'algèbre by Louis Bourdon.
