  • On real functions.
  • On infinitely small and infinitely large quantities, and on the continuity of functions. Singular values of functions in various particular cases.
  • On symmetric functions and alternating functions. The use of these functions for the solution of equations of the first degree in any number of unknowns. On homogeneous functions.
  • Determination of integer functions, when a certain number of particular values are known. Applications.
  • Determination of continuous functions of a single variable that satisfy certain conditions.

  • On imaginary expressions and their moduli.
  • On imaginary functions and variables.
  • On convergent and divergent imaginary series. Summation of some convergent imaginary series. Notations used to represent imaginary functions that we find by evaluating the sum of such series.
  • On real or imaginary roots of algebraic equations for which the left-hand side is a rational and integer function of one variable. The solution of equations of this kind by algebra or trigonometry.
