Abstract
Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, April.—Prof. F. N. Cole summarises the Proceedings of the February meeting of the Society, and abstracts a few of the papers communicated. The bye-laws were revised. By this amendment is provided that the ex-presidents shall be life-members of he council, and that the presidential term of office shall be extended to two years.—Prof. J. Pierpont gives an interesting account of the summer meeting of the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung held at Munich in September of last year.—some theorems concerning linear differential equations of the second order is an abstract by Prof. M. Bôcher of certain results which he communicated at the February meeting (see supra).—A paper by Dr. M. B. Porter, read at the same meeting, is entitled “A note on the enumeration of the roots of the hypergeometric series between zero and one.” It is a continuation of a note published in the May (1897) number of the Bulletin—Dr. J. Sommer reviews Hilbert's “Grundlagen der Geometric,” and Prof. E. O. Lovett does the same for Kœnig's “Leçons de Cinématique.”—The longer papers read before the Society will, we presume, be printed in the new Transactions.—The notes are very full, and there is a fair list of publications.
