Abstract
SIR GEORGE GREENHILL, president of the Mathematical Association, delivered an address upon “Mathematics in Artillery Science” at the annual meeting of the association on January 9. We have been unable to obtain a copy of the address from the officials of the association, though we think that one of the chief purposes of a scientific society should be to secure as wide a publicity as possible for its papers and addresses. Sir George Greenhill's remarks have, however, been summarised in the daily papers, and from the Times report the subloined sbstract has been derived. We may add that as Sir George was formerlr professor of mathematics in the Adillery College, Woolwich, his opinions upon the position which science occupies in our technical training for modern warfare must be given careful consideration.
