Abstract
THE third and concluding volume of Prof. Dickson's great work deals first with the arithmetical. theory of binary quadratic forms. A long chapter on the class-number is contributed by Mr. G. H. Cresse. Next comes an account of existing knowledge on quadratic forms in three or more variables, followed by chapters on cubic forms, Hermitian and bilinear forms, and modular invariants and covariants.
