  • Arithmetic of Citizenship*

  • B. L. Gimson
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    03 November 2016, pp. 55-61

  • In putting forward a plea for the inclusion of “Arithmetic of Citizenship” in the regular arithmetic course in secondary schools, there are two points which I want to make clear : (i) the purpose of such a course, and (ii) suggestions as to how it may be carried out in practice.

  • How ought a Logarithm to be defined?

  • R. F. Muirhead
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    03 November 2016, pp. 488-489

  • Mr. Fletcher begins his article in the January number of the Gazette by giving two reasons why a logarithm ought not to be defined as the index of the power of the base which is equal to the number. But are these reasons well-founded? One is that it does not afford a basis for the more advanced parts of the theory of logarithms. That statement would require a proof that might be very difficult or perhaps impossible to produce.

  • Gunnery: And some of its Mathematical Problems*

  • W. M. Roberts
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    03 November 2016, pp. 187-192

  • The title of my lecture is rather misleading. When I was asked to deliver it I thought I could profitably indicate how very definitely mathematics is used in a particular activity, such as gunnery, the application being neither complicated nor varied. If one was asked to write a paper on the utility of mathematics in engineering or in wireless electricity, the problem would be much more diffuse. The man who makes or fires a gun is only, after all, making one particular machine or doing one particular job. Hence it is possible briefly to state what mathematical difficulties he encounters.
