Karpinski, University of Michigan. With 4 plates showing pages of manuscripts in facsimile, and 25 diagrams in the text. Pp. vii + 164.
Pàgina 310 - MONTHLY which is the only journal of collegiate grade in the mathematical field in this country. Most of its mathematical contributions can be read and understood by those who have not specialized in mathematics beyond the Calculus. The Book Review department, appearing each month, is a valuable guide to current mathematical literature.
Pàgina 310 - The Notes and News cover a wide range of interest and information, both in this country and in foreign countries. The Problems and Solutions hold the attention and activity of a large number of persons who are lovers of mathematics for its own sake. There are other journals suited to the Secondary field, and there are still others of technical scientific...
Pàgina 134 - THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL MONTHLY OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF The Mathematical Association of America Is the Only Journal of Collegiate Grade in the Mathematical Field in This Country This means that its mathematical contributions can be read and understood by those who have not specialized in mathematics beyond the Calculus. The Historical Papers, which are numerous and of high grade, are based upon...
Pàgina 122 - Let us restate our guiding thesis: modern education will include nothing simply because tradition recommends it or because its inutility has not been conclusively established. It proceeds in precisely the opposite way: it includes nothing for which an affirmative case cannot now be made out.
Pàgina 203 - Suppose, for example, a world enclosed in a large sphere and subject to the following laws: — The temperature is not uniform; it is greatest at the centre, and gradually decreases as we move towards the circumference of the sphere, where it is absolute zero. The law of this temperature is as follows : — If R be the radius of the sphere, and r the distance of the point considered from the centre...
Pàgina 203 - The temperature is not uniform; it is greatest at the center, and diminishes in proportion to the distance from the center, to sink to absolute zero when the sphere is reached in which this world is enclosed.
Pàgina 68 - multiplicative domain" is developed at some length in Chapter II. The above illustration indicates what may be deduced from the fact that the sum of two squares multiplied by the sum of two squares is again the sum of two squares.
Pàgina 84 - Sheffer is a member of the American Mathematical Society and of the Mathematical Association of America and has many interests on the mathematical side of philosophy.
Pàgina 203 - I shall further suppose that, in this world, all bodies have the same coefficient of dilatation, so that the length of any rule is proportional to its absolute temperature. Finally, I shall suppose that a body transported from one point to another of different temperature is put immediately into thermal equilibrium with its new environment.
