Abstract
IN his first volume of this work, already reviewed in NATURE, Dr. Tropfke confined himself to the history of elementary arithmetic and algebra. He has now completed his work by giving with equal care, and the same wealth of references, the story of the progress of the other branches of elementary mathematics- geometry, logarithms, plane and spherical trigonometry, series, stereometry, analytical geometry, and a few other topics of minor importance.
