  • Suggestions for Notation and Printing

  • G.H. Bryan
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    03 November 2016, pp. 220-221

  • The list of suggestions issued by the London Mathematical Society is open to several amendments and possibly improvements.

    1. The use of small fractions in the midst of letterpress is often open to the objection that such fractions are difficult to read, and, moreover, very often do not come out clearly in printing. It is especially difficult to distinguish 1/3 from 1/8, and the latter sometimes prints exactly like the former if the type does not ink properly or is slightly uneven. For this reason it would be better to confine the use of these fractions to such common forms as ¼, ½, ¾, 1/3 and to use the notation 18/22 for other fractions ; at any rate small fractions should not be used for both thirds and eighths, and as thirds are usually commoner, it would be well to restrict their use to these.

  • My Lecture Notes on Calculus

  • G. H. Bryan
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    03 November 2016, pp. 19-20

  • In view of the recent discussions and papers in the Gazette, it may not be out of place for me to sketch the methods by which the Calculus is approached in my lectures. The class includes not only students qualifying for a degree in mathematics, but also others requiring a working knowledge of the use of the Calculus for the purposes of their courses in physics and chemistry.
