A Collection of Problems and Examples, Adapted to the Elementary Course of Mathematics: With an Appendix, Containing the Questions Proposed During the First Three Days of the Senate-House Examinations in the Years 1848, 1849, 1850, And 1851

Excerpt from A Collection of Problems and Examples, Adapted to the "Elementary Course of Mathematics" With an Appendix, Containing the Questions Proposed During the First Three Days of the Senate-House Examinations in the Years 1848, 1849, 1850, and 1851

Very good Collections of Problems and Examples illustrative of several of the subjects above named are already in existence. I claim no superiority for the present, except its adaptation to the particular course of reading marked out by the Grace to which I have just now referred. All existing Collections, though they may contain questions adapted to the wants of a student whose reading is confined to an elementary course of Mathematics, such as that which my former work contains, have also, as might be expected, so great an admixture of Problems of a higher kind as extremely to trouble and perplex.
