Abstract
(1) THE aim of Messrs. Young and Morgan is very clearly explained in their preface. Their book is intended for first-year students in universities and colleges, and, without in any way neglecting practical methods and applications, they have properly laid stress upon fundamental ideas such as “function,” “continuity,” and so on. Thus the student is prepared in due time for more abstract and delicate theories, and preserved from the risk of becoming a mere calculating-machine.
