Abstract
QTEADILY the regions of mathematics of which we can be ignorant without shame increase in number and extent. With their own researches taking them further and further from common ground, what need the analyst know of central differences, the statistician of the correspondence principle, the geometer of ideals? But common ground remains, though without precise boundaries, and certainly we must all be familiar in some practical sense with the elements of function theory and know something of the most important functions of analysis.
