Abstract

(1) THIS is a delightful book that will rejoice the heart of the students of Birmingham and of many another university. No longer have we the problem of the elephant balancing upon a ball, the ball a foot in diameter and the elephant of negligible mass. In place of the old artificial kind we have, all the way through the book, entrancing problems from everyday life. In method of treatment also Dr. Heath's sympathies are of the widest. We find the link-polygon freely used, and that useful lettering device of Bow's not despised. We find graphical methods given their due place; we find bending moments duly treated; we find so many good thing that the book, though apparently designed for the pure mathematician, ought to be adopted by the engineer also.
