Abstract
THIS work embodies those branches of pure mathematics required by senior engineering students up to degree standard and it covers the field very adequately. There are chapters on determinants, spherical trigonometry, several chapters on differentiation and integration and ordinary differential equations up to simultaneous systems, plane curves and three dimensional geometry. For an attempt to return from the monograph to the ‘comprehensive’ type of book it is eminently successful, and the numerous examples are well chosen with the correct practical bias. The theoretical parts are weaker in presentation than the practical portion, but not sufficient to vitiate a really useful book.
