BY THE SAME AUTHOR

The Theory of Functions of a Real Variable and the Theory of Fourier's Series. By E. W. Hobson, Sc.D., LL.D., F.R.S., Sadleirian Professor of Pure Mathematics, and Fellow of Christ's College, Cambridge. Royal 8vo. 21s net.

"We hasten to congratulate Dr Hobson on the completion of what is, without a doubt, a magnificent piece of work. It would be a fine piece of work even if it were a mere compilation; for the subject is one of which there was no systematic account in English, and which no previous English writer had ever really mastered. But the book is far from being a compilation, for Dr Hobson has made the subject his own, and writes with the air of mastery that only original work can give; and even in French, German, or Italian, there is no book which covers anything like the same ground."—Nature

A Treatise on Plane Trigonometry. By E. W. Hobson, Sc.D., F.R.S. Third edition. Demy 8vo. 12s.

"There was a time when Prof. Hobson's volume was the only British text-book in which the higher portions of the subject were adequately treated. Even now it has no serious rival, for although later works on higher analysis contain many chapters overlapping the ground covered by the latter half of this volume, we believe that 'Hobson' will continue to be the favourite text-book for those who wish to carry the subject beyond a merely elementary course."—Mathematical Gazette

An Elementary Treatise on Plane Trigonometry. By E. W. Hobson, Sc.D., F.R.S., and C. M. Jessop, M.A. Extra fcap. 8vo. 4s 6d.

"This is a really excellent manual for the student with mathematical tendency. The style of treatment is short, sharp and clear, and a very large amount of ground is covered.…A useful collection of exercises is given with each chapter, and at the end there is a large number of more difficult miscellaneous questions, which will thoroughly test the powers of the student in the manipulation of trigonometrical formulae and equations."—Glasgow Herald

Mathematics, from the points of view of the Mathematician and Physicist. An Address delivered to the Mathematical and Physical Society of University College, London. By E. W. Hobson, Sc.D., F.R.S. Crown 8vo. Paper covers. 1s.
