Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

From the Proceedings of theL ondon Mathematical Society, vol. I. (186.5 1866), No. ill. pp. 111. Read Oct. 16, 1865.] 1. The expression a double point, or, as I shall for shortness call it, a dp, is to be throughout underetood to include a cusp: thus, if a curve has Snodes (or double points in the restricted sense of the expression) and kcusps, it is here regarded as having +dps. 2. It was remarked by Cramer, in hisT hdorie des Lignes Courbes (1750), that a curve of the order nhas at most (ra l)(w 2), =(w 3w) +l, dps. 3. For several years past it has further been known that a curve such that the coordinates {x :y :z) of any point thereof are as rational and integral functions of the order nof a variable parameter ,is a curve of the order nhaving this maximum number J(n l)(n 2) of dps. 4. The converse theorem is also true, viz.: in a curve of the order n, with J(n l)(n 2) dps, the coordinates {x :y :z) oi any point are as rational and integral functions of the order nof a variable parameter 6or, somewhat less precisely, the coordinates are expressible rationally in terms of a parameter 6. 5. The foregoing theorem, as a particular case of Riemann sgeneral theorem, to be presently referred to, dates from the year 1857 ;but it was first explicitly stated only last year (1864) by Clebsch, in the Paper, Ueber diejenigen ebenen Curven deren Coordinaten rationale Functionen eines Parameters sind, Crelle, t. LX iv. (1864), pp. 43 63. 6. The demonstration is, in fact, very simple; it depends merely on the remark that we may, through the (n 1) (2) dps, and through 2n 3other points on the given curve of the order n, together {n +n)
