Monographs on Topics of Modern Mathematics Relevant to the Elementary Field (1911) - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
The purpose of this collection of monographs may be indicated by the following citation from the letter that was sent to those who were requested to act as authors. A mong the various publications on mathematics that are being made, it would seem that there is room for a serious efifort to bring within reach of secondary teachers (in service or in training), college students, and others at a like stage of mathematical advancement, a scientific treatment of some of the regions of advanced mathematics that have points of contact with the elementary field. Undoubtedly one of the most crying needs of our secondary instruction in mathematics today, is that the scientific attainments of the teachers be enlarged and their mathematical horizon widened; and I believe that there is a large body of earnest teachers and students that are eager to extend their mathematical knowledge if the path can be made plain and feasible for them. A volume of monographs dealing with selected topics of higher mathematics might well be a useful contribution to the meeting of this need. Such monographs would aim to bring the reader into touch with some characteristic results and viewpoints of the topics considered, and to point out their bearing on elementary mathematics. They would therefore contain: (1) A considerable body of results proved in full, so that the reader can materially extend his mathematical acquisitions by the reading of the monograph alone.
