Abstract

(1) THE second volume of this treatise, which is intended to include as much as the pupil of average ability will assimilate in a full school course, opens with a treatment of indices and logarithms. The next two chapters deal with variation of functions of one or more variables. This is followed by harder equations, surds, proportion, and progressions. The next four chapters contain an excellent introduction to the differential and integral calculus. Although confining themselves to very simple functions, x², x³, I/x the authors have illustrated all the important ideas of the subject. The educational value of such work as this is very great, and we have little doubt that in a few years' time it will be accepted as a regular part of the non-specialist course. This and the chapter on progressions are the outstanding features of a book which is admirable throughout. An appendix is added containing such parts of the subject as are still required by various conservative examining bodies, but which the authors hope further reform will soon render unnecessary. There is an excellent set of test papers.
