Page 329 - OF THE POINT, RAY, AND CIRCLE. By WILLIAM B. SMITH, Ph.D., Professor of Mathematics in the Tulane University of New Orleans, La. Cloth. $1.1O. "To the many of my fellow-teachers in America who have questioned me in regard to the Non-Euclidean Geometry, I would now wish to say publicly that Dr. Smith's conception of that profound advance in pure science is entirely sound. . . . Dr. Smith has given us a book of which our country can be proud. I think it the duty of every teacher of geometry to examine...

Page 329 - I cannot see any cogent reason for not introducing the methods of Modern Geometry in text-books intended for first years of a college course. How useful and instructive these methods are, is clearly brought to view in Dr. Smith's admirable treatise. This treatise is in the right direction, and is one step in advancing a doctrine which is destined to reconstruct in great measure the whole edifice of Geometry. I shall make provision for it in the advanced class in this school next term.
