An Elementary Course in Analytical
Geometry is compiled by J. H. Tanner of
Cornell and Joseph Allen of the College
of the City Of New York. Although de-
signed primarily to meet the needs OF
students in the various departments of
Engineering and Architecture in Cornell
University, special care has also been
taken to make this work suitable for the
general student and at the same time
useful as an introduction to more adj
vanced course for those students who
may wish to specialize later in mathe-
MATES. This is the first in the Cornell
mathematical series, and being the latest
book on the subject is thoroughly up to
date in all its problems and equations.
Cloth, 12mo. 400 pages, and sent post
paid to any address for $500.
Differental Calculus is the title Of the
second in this mathematical series and it
is edited by Prof Mcmahon and Virgil
Snyder, both of the mathematical de-
partment of Cornell. AS a justification
for adding another book to the field in
which the literature is already extensive,
it may be said that probably no other
work has just the scope of this one.
Many of the works are too brief, and
omit rigorous proofs as being too diff
cult for the average student, while the
more extensive treatises have too much
for student to master in the allotted
time. Cloth, 12mo, 336 pages and sent
postpaid to any address for $500

also given. Each of the orations included
in the book is preceded by an introduc-
tion explaining it's occasion and purpose.

Hazards Eutropius is COMPARE lively
new book for American schools, yet this
