Abstract

THE volumes published under the series title “University Mathematical Texts” mark a new venture in the production of English mathematical text-books. Each of these volumes deals with a single topic, the material of which could be reasonably covered in a one-term lecture course. If the further volumes which are promised maintain the standard of excellence shown by some of those under review, the success of the series ought to be assured.
