Abstract: In this chapter, we turn to what today is regarded as a different branch of algebra, the solution of polynomial equations, although Gauss’s work on the ‘higher arithmetic’ was not automatically regarded as being part of algebra. We shall find that polynomial algebra also evolved in the direction of deepening conceptual insight, so here we witness again one of the origins of the transformation from school algebra to modern algebra.
