IT is almost impossible to follow the later developments of physical or general chemistry without a working knowledge of higher mathematics. I have found that the regular text-books of mathematics rather perplex than assist the chemical student who seeks a short road to this knowledge, for it is not easy to discover the relation which the pure abstractions of formal mathematics bear to the problems which every day confront the student of Nature's laws, and realize-the complementary character of mathematical and physical processes.
