Pàgina 294 - ... (2) That this property of being curved or distorted is continually being passed on from one portion of space to another after the manner of a wave. (3) That this variation of the curvature of space is what really happens in that phenomenon which we call the motion of matter, whether ponderable or ethereal. (4) That in the physical world nothing else takes place but this variation, subject (possibly) to the law of continuity.

Pàgina 289 - The student is required to pass a general examination, which may be partly written and partly oral. This is given at the end of the last year but one, or at the beginning of the last year of graduate work, when the student should have completed at least six, and preferably all, of the nine advanced courses.
Pàgina 193 - If the attractive forces due to water displacement be neglected, there results a non-homogeneous linear partial differential equation of the second order in two independent variables.
Pàgina 294 - I hold in fact (1) That small portions of space are in fact of a nature analogous to little hills on a surface which is on the average flat ; namely, that the ordinary laws of geometry are not valid in them. (2) That this property of being curved or distorted is continually being passed on from one portion of space to another after the manner of a wave.
Pàgina 80 - To obtain first an adequate comprehension of the conditions prevailing to-day in the teaching of mathematics, it is necessary to review briefly the past. The mathematical development in the United States during the last quarter of a century has been so unexpected and sudden, and so remarkable in its proportions, that it can scarcely be termed an evolution, but merits rather to be called a revolution. Thirty years ago the contrast between the mathematical and the astronomical situation in this country...
