  Etienne Bézout History Summary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Though he conducted important research in algebraic equations, Etienne Bézout is remembered primarily for his contributions to mathematics education.
Most notable was Cours de mathematiques, a six-volume textbook that arose from his work as teacher for the French military, and which in turn influenced the teaching of mathematics on both sides of the Atlantic.
The second son of Pierre and Helene Filz Bézout, Etienne Bézout was born on March 31, 1739, in Nemours, France.

 The Resultant and Bezout's Theorem
Today the proposition is known as Bezout's Theorem, named after Etienne Bezout (1730-1783), who developed the theory of determinants and resultants.
Bezout offered a proof of this theorem in 1779, but it did not correctly account for the multiplicities of intersection points in all cases.
Since the degrees of these polynomials are 5 and 3, Bezout's Theorem implies that there are 15 points of intersection between them.

 1 Introduction
has been the fact of Etienne Bezout (1730-1783), a mathematician known as a textbook writer with important algebraic researches.
His name is attached to the theorem about intersection of algebraic curves which had a tremendous impact on the development of algebraic geometry.
The remainder of this paper is organized as follows : Section 2 deals with the effective computation of the Bezout's coefficients for ordinary integers.

In 1769 Charles Nicolas ROMME was appointed professor of mathematics to the Marine Guard in Rochefort on the recommendation of Etienne Bezout, a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences and an examiner of the Marine and Artillery Guards.
Shortly after his assignment Romme began a series of scientific experiments in the port of Rochefort on navigation, the resistance of fluids and the measurement of marine longitudes.
This led to Romme's appointment as a corresponding member of the Royal academy of Sciences and to the Academy's request that he write a DESCRIPTION OF THE ART OF MASTING and the same for THE ART OF SAIL MAKING to be included in their publication of a Description of the Arts and Manual Professions.

This book provides the first English translation of Bezout's masterpiece, the General Theory of Algebraic Equations.
Polynomial multiplier methods have become, today, one of the most promising approaches to solving complex systems of polynomial equations or inequalities, and this translation offers a valuable historic perspective on this active research field.
Etienne Bezout (1730-1783) is credited with the invention of the determinant (named Bezoutian by Sylvester) as well as several key innovations to solve simultaneous polynomial equations in many unknowns.

This book provides the first English translation of Bezout's masterpiece,the "General Theory of Algebraic Equations".
He introduces the revolutionary notionof the "polynomial multiplier," which greatly simplifies the problem ofvariable elimination by reducing it to a system of linear equations.
This book provides a fresh approach to solving systems ofpolynomial equations in several variables with a revolutionary notion of thepolynomial multiplier that simplifies the problem of variable elimination byreducing it to a system of linear equations.
