Chapters and solutions from 1866–1868 junior math scholarship exams

This collection presents the solutions to exam problems compiled for the Junior Mathematical Scholarship in the years 1866, 1867, and 1868. It showcases worked proofs and methodical approaches across core topics in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus, reflecting how students tackled challenging contest-style questions in the 19th century.

The book offers a window into historical problem solving, with detailed steps that illuminate reasoning, technique, and the progression of mathematics education. While the material is age-appropriate for self-study, it also serves as a reference for instructors and enthusiasts interested in classical problem sets and mathematical pedagogy from the period.

Explore a wide range of topics, from algebraic equations and solving systems to geometric constructions and analytical geometry.
See real worked solutions that illustrate step-by-step reasoning and common problem-solving strategies.
Gain insight into exam-style questions used in historical scholarship competitions and how they were approached.
Build foundational skills in applying mathematical principles to tricky, multi-part problems.

Ideal for readers who enjoy historical math texts, contest-style practice, and a clear look at how 19th‑century students learned to think like mathematicians.
