History of Modern Mathematics

The volume called Higher Mathematics the first edition of which was published in 1896 contained eleven chapters by eleven authors, each chapter being independent of the others but all supposing the reader to have at least a mathematical training equivalent to that given in classical and engineering colleges. The publication of that volume is now discontinued and the chapters are issued in separate from. İn these reissues it will generally be found that the monographs are enlarged by additional articles or appendices which either amplify the former presentation or record recent advences. This plan of publication has been arrenged in order to meet the demand of teachers and the convenience of classes, but it is also thought that it may prove advantageous to readers in special lines of mathematical literature.
