Some Recent Publications The Hindu-Arabic Numerals - continued not of Arabic origin, and although numerous monographs have been written concerning their derivation, no single work has yet appeared in which the complete story of their rise and development has been told. In the preparation of this treatise the authors have examined every important book and monograph that has appeared upon the subject, consulting the principal libraries of Europe as well as America, examining many manuscripts, and sifting the evidence with greatest care. The result is a scholarly discussion of the entire question of the origin of the numerals, the introduction of the zero, the influence of the Arabs, and the spread of the system about the shores of the Mediterranean and into the various countries of Europe. Wentworth-Smith Mathematical Series For the complete series, see page 318 of High-School Catalogue By combining their knowledge, skill, and working capacity, these two noted authors bring to the important duty of providing textbooks for our schools a higher degree of efficiency than has ever before been devoted to that end. That this combination of pedagogical skill and thorough scholarship is productive of the best results is conclusively proved by the enthusiastic reception that is daily being accorded to the books of this series. Wentworth Plane and Solid Geometry (Revised) By G. A. WENTWORTH. Revised by GEORGE WENTWORTH and DAVID In Two Volumes Plane Geometry (Revised) 12mo, cloth, +287 pages, illustrated, 80 cents. Solid Geometry (Revised) 12mo, cloth, xiii + 190 pages, illustrated, 75 cents. THE Wentworth-Smith revision of the Wentworth Geometry may confidently be described as the most usable textbook in the subject that America has ever produced. Slocum and Hancock Textbook on the Strength of By S. E. SLOCUM, Professor of Applied Mathematics in the University of Cincinnati, and E. L. HANCOCK, Professor of Applied Mechanics in Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, Mass. 8vo, cloth, xxxviii + 372 pages, $3.00. SLOCUM AND HANCOCK'S "Textbook on the Strength of Materials" has been revised that it may be abreast of the most recent practical developments on the subject. The method of presentation has been simplified that the subject may be easily understood by average technical students of junior grade. Considerable new material has been added. To facilitate numerical calculations a set of tables has been placed at the beginning of the volume. In Part I the most important additions are articles on the design of reënforced concrete beams, shrinkage and forced fits, the design of eccentrically loaded columns, the design and efficiency of riveted joints, the general theory of the torsion of springs, practical formulas for the collapse of tubes, and an extension of the method of least work to a wide variety of practical problems. This last includes a simple general formula for the shearing deflection of beams, never before published. Nearly one hundred and fifty original and practical problems have also been added to Part I. In Part II the recent advances in the manufacture of steel have been given special attention, including the properties of vanadium steel, manganese steel, and high-speed steel. Reënforced concrete has also received a more adequate treatment, and the chapter on this subject has been thoroughly revised and modernized.
