Excerpt from A Collection of Problems and Examples in Mathematics: Selected From the Jesus College Examination Papers, With Answers
The Problems contained in the following pages have been selected from the Jesus College Papers, and nearly the whole of them have been proposed at the half-yearly examinations during the last ten years.
Those in Euclid, Conic Sections, Algebra, and Plane Trigonometry, have, with a few exceptions, been set during the latter half of this period.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of mathematical problems drawn from the examination papers of Jesus College, Cambridge. Compiled over a decade, the problems span a variety of subjects, including Euclid, conic sections, algebra, plane trigonometry, and more. While some problems are drawn from well-known theorems, the author states that a large majority are entirely novel. The book aims to provide a valuable resource for students of mathematics, offering a wide range of problems, many of which are designed to be easily accessible, covering the essential topics typically studied at Cambridge. The book's focus on problems from examination papers reflects the emphasis on problem-solving in mathematics education at the time of its publication. This focus was a characteristic of the Cambridge mathematical curriculum, which valued the development of analytical and logical skills through the rigorous practice of solving problems. The book demonstrates the breadth and depth of mathematical thought in the mid-nineteenth century. The inclusion of problems from various fields highlights the interconnectedness of different branches of mathematics, as well as the importance of mastering fundamental principles to approach more complex challenges. This collection serves as a testament to the rigor and innovation within the mathematical community during this era. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330350775_0
