Abstract

IF reform of mathematical teaching is to mean anything real, it is necessary that the teacher should possess a much more extended survey of his subject than is conveyed in the ordinary English textbook. There could be no more suitable book for giving the elementary or secondary teacher some intelligent ideas about geometry than Dr. Mach's series of essays. In them the subject is treated in its physiological, its psychological, and its physical aspects.
