Abstract
Transactions of the Ainerican Mathematical Society, vol. iii. No 2, April.—E. W. Brown, on the small divisors in the lunar theory.—J. W. Young, on the holomorphisms of a group. This deals with non-abelian groups such that there is a one-one correspondence between the elements of the group and their αth powers.—F. R. Moulton, a simple non-desarguesian plane geometry. A simpler system than that given by Hilbert in his “Grundlagen der Geometrie,” with a proof that his axioms I. 1-2, II., III., IV. 1-5, V. are fulfilled, while Desargues' theorem is not true.—M. Bôcher, on the real solutions of systems of two homogeneous linear differential equations of the first order. Propositions relating to y′ = Py - Qz, z′ = Ry-Sz analogous to those given by Sturm for y″ + py′ + qy =0.—Charlotte A. Scott, on a recent method of dealing with the intersections of plane curves. The method in question is that of F. S. Macaulay (Proc. L.M.S. vols. xxxi., xxxii.).—E. V. Huntington, a complete set of postulates for the theory of absolute continuous magnitude. Six postulates are laid down, and shown to be consistent and independent of each other. A short paper by the same author follows, on the postulates for the theories of positive integral and positive rational numbers.
