 and his mathematics are thoroughly sound.' Spectator.

Containing ' Abel's Theorem ', the author's discovery of a common property of the integrals of all algebraic equations, 

 thus creating the basis for the investigation of ' Abel's Functions ', which were elaborated by Riemann and Weierstrass. 

 He was also the first to prove clearly (as first loosely demonstrated by Ruffini in 1799 [v. 4127, ante]), the impossibility 

 of solving algebraic equations of a higher than the fourth degree. 



'Abel criticized the use of infinite series, and discovered the well-known theorem which furnished a test for the 

 validity of the result obtained by multiplying one infinite series by another.'
