Synopsis

This book explores a method of mathematical analysis based on the concept of multilinear functions, primarily involving more than one independent direction. The author, a late fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, emphasizes the coordinating power of this theory across differential geometry. The text differentiates between functions of a single direction and those of several independent directions. The latter includes functions of a single direction as limiting cases. Of particular note is the author's analysis of the vectors in differential geometry, providing new insights into the different functions of a single direction on a surface. Originally published in 1921, this book continues to provide a valuable resource for mathematicians and researchers interested in the history and applications of differential geometry.
