Abstract
IN our notices of the previous sections we have sufficiently indicated the scope of this work. The present section is devoted to the integral calculus, and takes up its numbered articles at 1900, and closes at 2997: the pagination being pp. 313–440 of part ii. of vol. i. The same honest work, for which we have already commended the author, is conspicuous here, and the utility of having such a handy manual on the calculus is evident. It would be impossible to furnish here the results of a thorough examination of the text; the preparation for such a task would take up a very long time; but we would recommend a testing of the several parts to which a reader may have occasion frequently to refer, so that the book might be consulted with full confidence. We are glad to find that the likelihood of the occurrence of such errors as we mentioned in our notice of the first part, is reduced to a minimum by the very careful method of revision now adopted by Mr. Carr. We have much pleasure in commending this new section to the notice of our mathematical readers.
A Synopsis of Elementary Results in Pure and Applied Mathematics: containing Propositions, Formulæ, and Methods of Analysis, with Abridged Demonstrations.
By G. S. Carr Vol. i., Section ix. (London: C. F. Hodgson and Son, 1882.)
