PREFACE TO PART

Tin: work, of which

tlio

part

is

a

first instal-

ment, has been compiled from notes made at various periodsof the last fourteen years, of teaching.

and

chiefly during* the

engagements

!Many of the abbreviated methods and mnemonic

rules are in thepupils.

form in which

I originally

wrote them for

my

The general object

of

the compilation

is,

as

the

title

indicates, to present within a moderate

compass the funda-

mental theorems, formulas, and processes in the chief branchesof pureTlie

and applied mathematics.

work

is

intended, in thetl,ic

first

place,

to follow

andit

supplement the use ofarrangedwitli tlie

ordinary text-books, andtlie

is

view of assisting

student in the task of

revision of book-w^ork.

To

this

end

I have, in

many

cases,

merely indicated the salient points of a demonstration, or merely referred to the theorems by which the propositionproved.Iis

am

convinced that

it

is

more

beneficial to tlie

student to recall demonstrations with such aids, than to read

and re-read them.

Let them be read once, but recalled often.

The

difference in the effect

upon the mind between reading a

mathematical demonstration, and originating cue wholly or

partly,

is

very great.

It

may be compared

to tlic difference

between the pleasure experienced, and interest aroused, whenin the one case a travelleris

passively conducted through the

roads of a novel and unexplored country, and in the othercase he discovers the roads for himself with the assistance of

a map.

In the second place, I venture to hope that the work,

when completed, may provean aide-memoire and book

useful to advanced students as

of reference.

The boundary

of

mathematical science forms, year by year, an ever wideningcircle,

and the advantage

of

having at hand some condensed

statement of results becomes more and more evident.

To

the original investigator occupied with abstruse re-

searches in some one of the

many branches

of mathematics, a

work which gathers togethersitions in all,

synoptically the leading propo-

may not

therefore prove unacceptable.

Abler

hands than mine undoubtedly, might have undertaken the taskof

making such a digest

;

but abler hands might

also,

perhaps,

be more

usefully emj^loycd,

and with

this reflection I

have the

less hesitation in

commencing the work myself.is

The designin

which I have indicatedrelation toit

somewhat comprehensive, and

the present essay

may be regardeditit

as tentative.

The degree of success whichsuggestions or criticisms whichIc:!

may meetmay

with, and the

call forth, will

doubt-

have their

effect

on the subsequent portions of the work.

With

respect to the abridgment of the demonstrations, Ithat while

may remark,

some diffuseness

of explanation is not

only allowable but very desirable in an initiatory treatise,concisenessis

one of the chief reciuiremcnts in a work intended

follows that, if the lines joining each pair of corresponding vertices of any two rectilineal figures are concurrent, the pairs of corresponding sides intersect in points which are collinear. The figures in this case are said to be in pprspectlce^ or in, homology, with each other.
