theattention given to historical inquiry in the mathematicalclass-rooms and seminaries of our leading universities,causeme to believe that a brief general History of Mathematicswill be found acceptable to teachers and students.  \nThe pages treating—necessarily in a very condensedform—of the progress made during the present century,are put forth with great diffidence,although I have spentinucl time in the effort to render them accurate andreasonably complete.Many valuable suggestions and criti-cisms on the chapter on“Recent Times”have been madeby Ir.E.W.Davis,of the University of Nebraska.Theproof-shects of this chapter have also been submitted toDr.J.E.Davies and Professor C.A.Van Velzer,both of theUniversity of Wisconsin';to Dr.G.B.Halsted,of theUniversity of Texas;Professor L.M.Hoskins,of the LelandStanford Jr.University;and Professor G.D.Olds,of AmherstCollege,—all of whom have afforded valuable assistance.I am specially indebted to Professor F.H.Loud,of ColoradoCollege,who has read the proof-sheets throughout.To allthe gentlemen above named,as well as to Dr.Carlo Veneziani  \nPREFACE.  \nof Salt Lake City,who read the first part of my work
