This work contains all the propositions which are usually included in elementary treatises on Algebra, and a large number of Examples for Exercise. The author has sought to render the work easily intelligible to students without impairing the accuracy of the demonstrations, or contracting the limits of the subject. The Examples have been selected with a view to illustrate every part of the subject, and as the number of them is about Sixteen hundred and fifty, it is hoped they will supply ample exercise for the student. Each set of Examples has been carefully arranged, commencing with very simple exercises, and proceeding gradually to those which are less obvious.

PLANE

TRIGONOMETRY.

For Schools and Colleges.

Third Edition. Crown 8vo. cloth, 5s.

The design of this work has been to render the subject intelligible to beginners, and at the same time to afford the student the opportunity of obtaining all the information which he will require on this branch of Mathematics. Each chapter is followed by a set of Examples; those which are entitled Miscellaneous Examples, together with a few in some of the other sets, may be advantageously reserved by the student for exercise after he has made some progress in the subject. In the Second Edition the hints for the solution of the Examples have been considerably increased.

A TREATISE ON SPHERICAL TRIGONOMETRY. Second Edition, enlarged. Crown 8vo. cloth, 4s. 6d.

This work is constructed on the same plan as the Treatise on Plane Trigo
nometry, to which it is intended as a sequel. Considerable labour has
been expended on the text in order to render it comprehensive and ac-
curate, and the Examples, which have been chiefly selected from Uni-
versity and College Papers, have all been carefully verified.

WOLSTENHOLME, Fellow of Christ's College, sometime Fellow of

CONTENTS: Geometry (Euclid).-Algebra.-Plane Trigonometry.-Conic Sections, Geometrical.-Conic Sections, Analytical.-Theory of Equations. -Differential Calculus.-Integral Calculus.-Solid Geometry-Statics.Dynamics, Elementary.-Newton.-Dynamics of a Point.-Dynamics of a Rigid Body.-Hydrostatics.-Geometrical Optics.-Spherical Trigonometry and Plane Astronomy.

In each subject the order of the Text-Books in general use in the University of Cambridge has been followed, and to some extent the questions have been arranged in order of difficulty. The collection will be found to be unusually copious in problems in the earlier subjects, by which it is designed to make the work useful to mathematical students, not only in the Universities, but in the higher classes of public schools.

"It is a very small book, but pure gold throughout. There is not a waste sentence, or a superfluous word, and yet it is all clear as daylight. It exacts close attention from the reader, but the attention will be repaid by a real acquisition of knowledge. And though the book is so small, it manages to touch on some of the very highest problems.. The whole book shows how true it is that the most elementary instruction is best given by the highest masters in any science."-Guardian.

"The very best descriptions and explanations of the principles of human physiology which have yet been written by an Englishman."-Saturday Review.

9. To inscribe a regular pentagon in a given circle.

The inscription of a regular figure in a circle depends upon our being able to divide the circumference into as many equal parts as the figure has sides.

We have seen how to divide a circumference into 3 parts or 4 parts, and since every arc can be bisected, we can divide a circumference into 6, 12, 24, &c. or 8, 16, 32, &c. parts.

The preceding construction gives us an angle CDB equal to one-fifth of two right angles. If therefore DC be produced to meet the circumference, it will intercept one-fifth part of it, Complete the construction.

11. To inscribe a regular quindecagon in a given circle.

20. To construct a figure similar to either of two given similar figures, and equal to their sum or their difference.

21. To construct a figure equal to one and similar to another given figure.

1. O is a point within the angle A CB. To draw through O a straight line AOB, so that it may be bisected in 0.

2. A and B are two points on the same side of the straight line CD. Find in CD a point P such that PA+PB may be the least possible.

4. An equilateral triangle is inscribed in a circle, if the intercepted arcs be bisected and the points of bisection joined, the sides of the triangles are trisected.
