Arithmetic Prize Papers. By W. P. Workman. Foolscap 



8vo, pp. 60. (London: Joseph Hughes & Co. 1895.) Price 2/- 



For many years past a silver medal has been awarded annually at Kings- 

 wood School (of which the author is Head Master) 'to the best Arithmetician.' 

 The endowment for this purpose was left to the School at a time when Arith- 

 metic was the only equipment of an educated gentleman. The author has 

 no doubt the donor meant 'the best Mathematician,' but he did not say so, and 

 consequently a few of the most difficult questions capable of being answered 

 by Arithmetic have been prepared. Four papers, each containing 12 to 15 

 questions, cover 8 pages of the book, the remaining 48 being required for their 

 working out. We think it would take a very clever boy to answer most of 

 them. 



An Elementary Text-Book of Mechanics. By William 

 Briggs, L.L.B., F.R.A.S., etc., and G. H. Bryan, M.A., F.R.S., etc. Cr. 

 8vo, pp. vii. — 336. (London : W. B. Clive. 1895.) Price 3/6. 



This is one of " The University Tutorial Series," in preparing which the 

 aim of the authors has been to afford beginners a through grounding in those 

 parts of Dynamics and Statics, which can be treated without assuming a pre- 

 vious knowledge of Trigonometry. The section devoted to Dynamics is divi- 

 ded into three parts: — I., Velocity and Acceleration; II., Mass and Force ; 

 and HI., The Parallelogram Law. And Statics : — I., Equilibrium of Forces 

 at one point; II., Moments and Parallel Forces; and HI., Centres of Gravity. 

 The answers are at the end of the book. 



Elementary Trigonometry. By Charles Pendlebury, M.A., 

 F.R.A.S., etc. Cr. 8vo, pp. xvi. — 336. (London : George Bell & Son. 

 1895.) Price 4/6. 



The examples in this book are numerous and varied, and have been care- 

 fully graduated ; and at suitable places sets of oral examples have been inser- 

 ted, similar to those in the "Arithmetic for Schools," by the same author ; and 

 towards the end of the work there will be found a set of questions on book- 

 work, based upon the text. Answers are at the end of the book.

 matics from many of the leading Mathematicians at home and abroad.
