Abstract
THE latest volume of the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society keeps up to the usual high standard. As regards pure analysis, attention may be directed to Prof, and Mrs. W. H. Young's papers on integrals and deriv-ates, because they deal with fundamentally new notions of the integral calculus, with which every serious ^mathematician will have to make himself acquainted. Mr. G. H. Hardy contributes a paper of great interest on Dirichlet's divisor problem, and there is a little gem by Mr. T. L. Wren on the two-three birational space transformation, which incidentally gives a new, and we think finally satisfactory, aspect of the double-six configuration. In applied mathematics we have a paper by Prof. Bromwich on normal coordinates, based on the theory of complex integrals; one by Sir J. Larmor on transition from vapour to liquid; and one by Mr. F. B. Pidduck on the motion of ions, discussed by means of an integral equation. We must content ourselves with noting these few papers out of the whole thirty. The volume will doubtless receive the full attention that it deserves.
