Summary

Originally published in 1909, this book forms the third in four volumes of James Joseph Sylvester's mathematical papers, covering the period from 1870 to 1883. Together these volumes provide a comprehensive resource that will be of value to anyone with an interest in Sylvester's theories and the history of mathematics.

The Collected Mathematical Papers of James Joseph Sylvester: Volume 3, 1870-1883 by James Joseph Sylvester

James Joseph Sylvester (1814-97) was an English mathematician who made key contributions to numerous areas of his field and was also of primary importance in the development of American mathematics, both as inaugural Professor of Mathematics at Johns Hopkins University and founder of the American Journal of Mathematics. Originally published in 1909, this book forms the third in four volumes of Sylvester's mathematical papers, covering the period from 1870 to 1883. Together these volumes provide a comprehensive resource that will be of value to anyone with an interest in Sylvester's theories and the history of mathematics.
