Abstract
The Mathematical Gazette, No. 3, December, 1894.—The eccentric circle of Boscovich. In this continuation the editor considers a special case in which the centre of the eccentric circle lies on the straight line whose points of intersection with the conic are required. He then discusses the method as one of transformation, and finally points out a connection between reversion and perspective projection.—Dr. Mackay, in Greek Geometers before Euclid, writes upon Pythagoras and the Italic school.—Cajori's “History of Mathematics” is an all too short notice, by Dr. G. B. Halsted, of a book that has come in for a fair amount of praise and blame There are some very interesting problems, solutions of examination questions, and questions for solution.—Prof. A. Lodge supplies an addition to his previous article on approximations and reductions.—We note, with pleasure, that in future the Gazette is to be enlarged to twelve pages. This additional space will greatly help to increase the use of this journal, which has so quickly made its way in school circles.
