A SHORT ACCOUNT
OF
THE HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS.
By WALTER W. ROUSE BALL,
Fellow and Tutor of Trinity College, Cambridge.
Second Edition, Revised. $3.25.
"While technical and exact enough to be of value to the specialist in mathematics as a handy book of reference, it is so clearly and familiarly written, that it is the best work on this subject for the general reader that we know of. … From this history, or historical sketch, the intelligent reader can gain a very complete view of the progress of mathematical science from its beginnings until its contemporary differentiation into numerous specialties,—each of them important and difficult enough to detain for a lifetime a brilliant mind,—all of which are fruitful in their applications to the various phases of modern science and modern industry."—Science.

A SHORT HISTORY
OF
GREEK MATHEMATICS.
By JAMES GOW.
8vo. $3.00.
"… Evidently the production of a scholar, and the result of years of laborious research. Mr. Gow divides his history into three parts. The first treats of the decimal scale and Egyptian arithmetic; the second and third parts are concerned with Greek arithmetic and geometry. … The largest part of Mr. Gow's history, and that which will probably be the most interesting to the general mathematical reader, is justly devoted to geometry; for it is in this department of mathematics that the acuteness of the Greek mind is most conspicuously seen, and that the continuity of mathematical discovery can be more fully traced. … The interesting character of the notes is quite a feature of the book, which is in this respect distinguished from almost all histories of mathematics. … It must be to all students of mathematics a most welcome and instructive volume."—J. S. Mackay, in The Academy.
