equations arising from a particular prob-lem as there are variables ; thus, if there are two variables involved, we havebut one equation. In algebra such problems are called indeterminate, sincethe equation does not determine definite values of the unknown quantities,but can be satisfied by an… … * Our limits do not permit a discussion of the continuity of functions and the general geo-metrical interpretation of imaginary co-ordinates, and hence for simplicity we retain the con-ception of imaginaries as impossible quantities. 10 THE CARTESIAN METHOD OP CO-OBDINATES.
