Abstract
A MATHEMATICAL colloquium, similar to the very successful gatherings held in 1926, 1930 and 1934, will be held in St. Andrews on July 4–July 15, 1938, under the auspices of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society. Short courses of lectures will be given by prominent mathematicians, including Prof. E. T. Whittaker, Prof. G. D. Birkhoff, Dr. A. C. Aitken, on topics of pure and applied mathematics. On their way to the colloquium, members will have the opportunity of attending a meeting of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, celebrating the three hundredth anniversary of the birth of James Gregory, who held in succession the chairs of mathematics in the Universities of St. Andrews and Edinburgh. This meeting will be held in Edinburgh on July 4. Further particulars of membership of the colloquium can be obtained from the Hon. Secretary, Edinburgh Mathematical Society, 16 Chambers Street, Edinburgh 1.
