The Philosophy of Mathematics (Classic Reprint)

Engineering Mathematical Sciences Library PREFACE, THE pleasure and profit which the translator has received from the great work here presented, have induced him to lay it before his fellow-teachers and students of Mathematics in a more accessible form than that in which it has hitherto appeared. The want of a comprehensive map of the wide region of mathematical science a bird s-eye view of its leading features, and of the true bearings and relations of all its parts is felt by every thoughtful student. He is like the visitor to a great city, who gets no just idea of its extent and situation till he has seen it from some commanding eminence. To have a panoramic view of the whole district presenting at one glance all the parts in due co-ordination, and the darkest nooks clearly shown is invaluable to either traveller or student. It is this which has been most perfectly accomplished for mathematical science by the author whose work is here presented. Clearness and depth, comprehensiveness and precision, have never, perhaps, been so remarkably united as in AUGUSTE COMTE.
