Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoranda Mathematica a Synopsis of Facts, Formulae, and Methods, in Elementary Mathematics
Most students and teachers of Mathematics have at times wished for a book to which they might speedily refer for a particular formula or method. Such a want the author attempts to supply in the present volume, which collects in convenient compass the facts, formulae, and results of Elementary Mathematics and is intended, not to replace existing text-books, but to be a com panion to them all, useful for revision and handy for reference. The book embraces the subjects usually read in a school course with the exception of Arithmetic, which is only fragmentarily treated, and the more elementary parts of Geometry, which have less need of a summary than other subjects, since they are always presented in proposition form. The other branches of Elementary Mathematics are treated exhaustively, so that, as far as those subjects are concerned, the summary given should include almost all the requirements of a University course. It is hoped, therefore, that the book will be of special value to candidates for mathematical scholar ships and to students in their first year who are reading for Mathematical Honours at the Universities.
