Abstract
IN the second volume of his large treatise on the integral calculus, Mr. Edwards deals with multiple integrals, gamma functions, Dirichlet integrals, definite integrals in general, contour integration, elliptic functions, the calculus of variations, Fourier series and integrals, mean values and probability, and the harmonic analysis. The volume contains an immense collection of formulæ and questions extracted from examination papers and from the older literature of the subject, which may prove useful for reference to the sophisticated reader, but are more likely to repel than to inspire the students for whom the book appears to be intended.
