of science.
Originally published in 1914, this volume was created to mark the
tercentenary of John Napier's Mirifici Logarithmorum Canonis
Descriptio. Written by the prominent English mathematician Ernest
William Hobson, the text provides a highly readable introduction to
the theory of logarithms and puts their discovery within a
historical context. Illustrations are also included. This is a
concise and accessible book that will be of value to anyone with an
interest in logarithms and the history of mathematics.
Ernest William Hobson (1856-1933) was a prominent English
mathematician who held the position of Sadleirian Professor at the
University of Cambridge from 1910 to 1931. In this volume, which
was originally published in 1931, Hobson focuses on the forms and
analytical properties of the functions which arise in connection
with those solutions of Laplace's equation which are adapted to the
case of particular boundary problems. The investigations take into
account functions not, as was the case when they were originally
introduced, confined to the cases where degree and order are
integral. This is a highly informative book that will be of value
to anyone with an interest in spherical and ellipsoidal harmonics.
