HARRY Y. BENEDICT and JOHN W. CALHOUN University of Texas
The new text for freshmen included the essential and vital features of college algebra, trigonometry, and analytic geometry. It is note- worthy for the skill with which the topics have been correlated, for the number, variety, and modern flavor of the problems, and for the excel- lence of the diagrams and illustrations.
The authors are professors in the University of Michigan and the University of Texas. Their experience has enabled them to unify the work in such a manner as to avoid the defects which have been con- spicuous in several earlier books on this plan, and they have secured the maximum advantages of coherence, clearness, and saving of time.
The problems and applications are exceptionally valuable. They are modern and practical, including work in projectiles, healing of wounds, varied aspects of engineering, agriculture, annuities, physics, statistics, and of applied science in general. We do not know of a series of problems to be compared with this work in its value to the students of today.
The diagrams are uniformly drawn on co-ordinate paper and illus- trate every phase of the work. There are also numerous reproductions of photographs.
In the preparation of the work the authors have had the active co- operation of many specialists in the domain of industry as well as in that of mathematics.

Just Issued New Reivsed and Entirely Reset Edition of
Slichter-Elementary Mathematical Analysis By CHARLES S. SLICHTER, Professor of Applied Mathematics, Uni- versity of Wisconsin. Second Edition. 497 pages, 5 x 71, Illus- trated. $2.50. An entirely revised edition of this distinctive first-year text is now ready. In the light of the experience gained by the extensive class- room use of the book, Professor Slichter has simplified much of the material, has omitted some work, and has added numerous worked exercises. New sets of exercises and long lists of miscellaneous and review exercises have been inserted. Several changes in order of material and in method treatment have also been made. The book treats the various topics in analysis as belonging to a single science and hence combines work in trigonometry, college algebra, and analytic geometry.

MODERNI MATHEMATICAL SERIES
Dowling-Projective Geometry By L. W. DOWLING, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Mathematics, Uni- versity of Wisconsin. 215 pages, 5 x 72. Illustrated. $2.00. "Dowling's Projective Geometry pleases me by its direct and rapid style, and by its large content in small space. Through brevity the author attains unexpected fulness. The set of problems are very satisfactory, some relating projective to metric theorems, others de- veloping or extending the discussions, purely projective, of the text. Diagrams are unusually well designed and well executed, e. g., those for the two Desargues theorems. "-Professor Henry S. White, Vassar College.
