Abstract
THE theory of numbers, going back at least as far as the time of Pythagoras, differs in many respects from other branches of mathematics, a fact that may explain the attraction of the subject, not only for the majority of mathematicians (though a minority dislike it intensely), but also for enthusiastic amateurs such as the late Lieut.-Col. A. J. C. Cunningham, whose generous bequest has made possible the production of this and two preceding volumes of British Association tables.
