Abstract
WITH great skill and clarity, Mile. Freda has presented an account of the origin, development and applications of one of the most powerful methods of mathematical analysis. Starting with Cauchy's problem and Riemann's original method, she traces the extensions due to Picard, Volterra, d'Adhemar, Tedone, Coulon and Hadamard, with modifications and additions due to herself. There are references to mechanical and physical applications, and to the history of the subject. Prof. V. Volterra contributes an appreciative preface.
