A survey of the major figures and mathematical movements of the
19th century, this is a thorough examination of every significant
foundation stone of today's modern mathematics. Providing clear and
concise articles on the fundamental definition of numbers through
to quantics and infinite series, as well as exposition on the
relationships between theorems, this volume, which was first
published in 1896, cements itself as an essential reference work, a
solid jumping-off point for all students of mathematics, and a
fascinating glimpse at the once-cutting edge that now is taken for
granted in an ever-changing scientific field. New York lawyer and
mathematician DAVID EUGENE SMITH (1860-1944) authored a number of
books while a professor of mathematics at Columbia University,
including The Teaching of Elementary Mathematics (1900), A History
of Japanese Mathematics (1914), and The Sumario Compendioso of
Brother Juan Diez (1921).
