Review text

This is the English translation of a paper in German of \textit{Ferdinand Minding} published in Crelle's journal in 1841 [J. Reine Angew. Math. 22, 178--183 (1841)]. This publication also includes five translator's notes and a commentary by D. Cox and J. M. Rojas. The formula \[ mb + k_1 + k_2 + \cdots + k_n \] for the final equation obtained through elimination of \(y\) between the polynomial equations \(f(x,y)=0\) and \(\theta(x,y)=0\) is explained in terms of Newton polygons and Newton--Puiseux series. There are discussed the relations between Minding's argument and the BKK bound for counting all complex solutions of the system \(f(x,y) = \theta(x,y) = 0\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 1029.00024].
