Abstract
THIS volume is an English edition of the author's original work in German on the calculus which was briefly reviewed in 1928. Although the title-page announces it to be a translation, yet it is much more than this. Dr. McShane, in co-operation with the author, has considerably modified the treatment in order to adapt the book to the needs of English and American students. Among the principal divergencies from the original text, this edition contains (i) a sketch of the differentiation and integration of functions of several variables, and (ii) a collection of classified examples. Although the preface claims that a large number of exercises has been added, yet, compared with English textbooks, this number is somewhat small.
