(1) The Theory of Functions of a Real Variable and the Theory of Fourier's Series (2) An Introduction to the Theory of Infinite Series

Abstract

(1) THE second volume of Prof. Hobson's book completes a great contribution to the literature of mathematics. The second edition is double the size of the first, and is really a new book. Less than half of the present volume is devoted to Fourier series. The rest of it contains an exhaustive account of sequences and series in general.
