Synopsis
The Collected Mathematical Papers of James Joseph Sylvester, Volume II collects essential early-work, lectures, and notes from 1854 to 1873 for readers of mathematical history.
This volume, edited by H. F. Baker, reprints key papers unaltered and preserves cross references, with two plates included to illustrate the material. It offers a window into Sylvester’s influence across algebra, geometry, and number theory during a productive period of his career.
- Includes notable items such as lectures on geometry, outlines of the partition of numbers, and a long memoir on Newton’s Rule.
- Features the Presidential Address to the Mathematical and Physical Section of the British Association at Exeter, as well as material that was later republished as Nugae Mathematicae.
- Presents cross-referenced papers, notes on notation and method, and reflections on invariant theory and related topics.
- Compiled with scholarly apparatus for researchers and students interested in 19th-century mathematics and Sylvester’s contributions.

About the Author
James Joseph Sylvester (1814-1897), a mathematician, poet, and wit, was one of the contributors to the nineteenth-century English tradition in algebra. He was also an early figure in the establishment of graduate education in mathematics in the United States. One of his main contributions, with Arthur Cayley, was to initiate the theory of algebraic invariants. Among Sylvester's classic results are his theory of elementary divisors and his law of inertia of quadratic forms. This four-volume set contains his collected works.
