G.H. Hardy's text is a good single volume refresher course for work
in analysis and more advanced algebra, including number theory. Not
quite as modern as Birkhoff and MacLane's text, or Manes' work,
this volume forms the underpinnings of both works. If you have a
good understanding of the preliminary work required in algebra and
geometry, Hardy can be read directly and with pleasure. If you have
a desire to understand the basis of what is presented in most
first-year calculus texts, then Hardy's text is for you.
Originally published in 1927, this book presents the collected
papers of the renowned Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan
(1887-1920), with editorial contributions from G. H. Hardy
(1877-1947). Detailed notes are incorporated throughout and
appendices are also included. This book will be of value to anyone
with an interest in the works of Ramanujan and the history of
mathematics.
Originally published in 1910 as number twelve in the Cambridge
Tracts in Mathematics and Mathematical Physics series, this book
provides an up-to-date version of Du Bois-Reymond's Infinitarcalcul
by the celebrated English mathematician G. H. Hardy. This tract
will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of
mathematics or the theory of functions.
Originally published in 1915 as number eighteen in the Cambridge
Tracts in Mathematics and Mathematical Physics series, and here
reissued in its 1952 reprinted form, this book contains a condensed
account of Dirichlet's Series, which relates to number theory. This
tract will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of
mathematics or in the work of G. H. Hardy.
The first edition of Hardy's Integration of Functions of a Single
Variable was published in 1905, with this 1916 second edition being
reprinted up until 1966. Now this digital reprint of the second
edition will allow the twenty-first-century reader a fresh
exploration of the text. Hardy's chapters provide a comprehensive
review of elementary functions and their integration, the
integration of algebraic functions and Laplace's principle, and the
integration of transcendental functions. The text is also saturated
with explanatory notes and usable examples centred around the
elementary problem of indefinite integration and its solutions.
Appendices contain useful bibliographic references and a workable
demonstration of Abel's proof, rewritten specifically for the
second edition. This innovative tract will continue to be of
interest to all mathematicians specialising in the theory of
integration and its historical development.
In 1916 Bertrand Russell was prosecuted and fined for publishing
(in defence of a conscientious objector) 'statements likely to
prejudice the recruiting and discipline of His Majesty's forces.'
He was almost immediately afterwards dismissed from his Lectureship
at Trinity College, Cambridge, by the College Council. This
expulsion provoked a storm of protest and the true facts of the
case became obscured by misconceptions, prejudices and uninformed
gossip, to the discredit of the College. In 1942, therefore G. H.
Hardy the mathematician printed for private circulation to another
generation of Fellows at Trinity a full account of the incident in
an attempt to explain what really happened. This is now made
public. Besides provoking an authoritative record of a celebrated
but misinterpreted episode in Russell's eventful academic career,
this document contains interesting evidence about attitudes to
pacifism in the First World War and in particular about the
sympathies of such distinguished colleagues and contemporaries of
Russell as Cornford, Housman, McTaggart and Whitehead.
Celebrating 100 years in print with Cambridge, this newly updated
edition includes a foreword by T. W. Korner, describing the huge
influence the book has had on the teaching and development of
mathematics worldwide. There are few textbooks in mathematics as
well-known as Hardy's Pure Mathematics. Since its publication in
1908, this classic book has inspired successive generations of
budding mathematicians at the beginning of their undergraduate
courses. In its pages, Hardy combines the enthusiasm of the
missionary with the rigor of the purist in his exposition of the
fundamental ideas of the differential and integral calculus, of the
properties of infinite series and of other topics involving the
notion of limit. Hardy's presentation of mathematical analysis is
as valid today as when first written: students will find that his
economical and energetic style of presentation is one that modern
authors rarely come close to.
G. H. Hardy was one of this century's finest mathematical thinkers,
renowned among his contemporaries as a 'real mathematician ... the
purest of the pure'. He was also, as C. P. Snow recounts in his
Foreword, 'unorthodox, eccentric, radical, ready to talk about
anything'. This 'apology', written in 1940, offers a brilliant and
engaging account of mathematics as very much more than a science;
when it was first published, Graham Greene hailed it alongside
Henry James's notebooks as 'the best account of what it was like to
be a creative artist'. C. P. Snow's Foreword gives sympathetic and
witty insights into Hardy's life, with its rich store of anecdotes
concerning his collaboration with the brilliant Indian
mathematician Ramanujan, his idiosyncrasies and his passion for
cricket. This is a unique account of the fascination of mathematics
and of one of its most compelling exponents in modern times.
This classic of the mathematical literature forms a comprehensive study of the inequalities used throughout mathematics. First published in 1934, it presents clearly and lucidly both the statement and proof of all the standard inequalities of analysis. The authors were well-known for their powers of exposition and made this subject accessible to a wide audience of mathematicians.
Hardy's book became a classic soon after it was published. It is
still an excellent text for the motivated undergraduate student of
mathematics.
Geared toward mathematicians already familiar with the elements of Lebesgue's theory of integration, this classic, graduate-level text begins with a brief introduction to some generalities about trigonometrical series. Discussions of the Fourier series in Hilbert space lead to an examination of further properties of trigonometrical Fourier series, concluding with a detailed look at the applications of previously outlined theorems. Ideally suited both for individual and classroom study. 1956 ed.
