Side 359 - The four years passed at college were, for his purposes, wasted. Harvard College was a good school, but at bottom what the boy disliked most was any school at all. He did not want to be one in a hundred— one per cent of an education. He regarded himself as the only person for whom his education had value, and he wanted the whole of it. He got barely half of an average.
Side 359 - In any and all its forms, the boy detested school, and the prejudice became deeper with years. He always reckoned his school days, from ten to sixteen years old, as time thrown away. Perhaps his needs turned out to be exceptional, but his existence was exceptional. Between 1850 and 1900 nearly every one's existence was exceptional. For success in the life imposed on him he needed, as afterwards appeared, the facile use of only four tools: Mathematics, French, German, and Spanish.
Side 420 - ARTICLE VIII Amendments This Constitution may be amended at any annual meeting of the Society by a twothirds vote of the members present and voting.
Side 359 - Between 1850 and 1900 nearly every one's existence was exceptional. For success in the life imposed on him he needed, as afterwards appeared, the facile use of only four tools : Mathematics, French, German, and Spanish. With these, he could master in very short time any special branch of inquiry, and feel at home in any society.
Side 420 - Dollars ($7), including two (2) subscriptions to the official journal. 4. All dues shall be payable on the first of January of each year. Should the annual dues of any member remain unpaid beyond a reasonable time, his name shall be dropped from the list after due notice. 5. New members entering the Association after April 1 of any year shall have their dues pro-rated for the balance of the year, except when they desire to receive the full current volume of the official journal.
Side 359 - In the one branch he most needed — mathematics — barring the few first scholars, failure was so nearly universal that no attempt at grading could have had value, and whether he stood fortieth or ninetieth must have been an accident or the personal favor of the professor. Here his education failed lamentably. At best he could never have been a mathematician; at worst he would never have cared to be one ; but he needed to read mathematics, like any other universal language, and he never reached...

Side 440 - ... organizations may be sectional, covering a considerable area, or they may consist merely of local clubs which can meet at frequent intervals for the discussion and study of the problems of the Committee. It is hoped that such clubs can be organized in all the larger cities where they do not already exist. 7. To establish contact directly with individual teachers. The Committee feels that this is necessary in addition to their work through organizations in order to induce such individuals to become...
Side 16 - ISAAC BARROW was the first inventor of the Infinitesimal Calculus; Newton got the main idea of it from Barrow by personal communication; and Leibniz also was in some measure indebted to Barrow's work...
Side 260 - These constructions involve a rectangular hyperbola and an associated circle, in one and the same plane, which is the plane of the drawing. By making certain projections in this plane, followed by a rotation through a quadrant, a plane-vector is produced from the origin, corresponding to the complex hyperbolic or circular sine or cosine required. This process is open to the objection that it is somewhat forced and artificial, lacking the simple projective property that a sine or cosine of a real...
