Abstract
THE first edition of this very useful book was briefly reviewed in Nature of July 19, 1941. In this new edition, the general plan has been retained and such modifications made in the text as experience has rendered necessary. These changes have involved the rewriting of many sections and several entire chapters. A serious attempt has been made to improve the rigour without adding to the difficulty of the text. For example, the treatment of partial derivatives has been practically recast in order to place emphasis on physical rather than purely geometrical aspects, while the chapter on multiple integrals has been revised and expanded to include spherical as well as cylindrical co-ordinates.
