This volume was among several dozen books from Temple Rice Hollcroft's library that we were lucky enough to purchase at auction in New Jersey. Several of the books contain his ink stamp, signature, or a presentation inscription to him. Unfortunately, this volume does not have those signs of his ownership. [But please check our inventory for several others that do]. The American mathematician Temple Rice Hollcroft (1889 - 1967) received B.S. in 1912 and A.B. in 1914 from Hanover College and then A.M. in 1915 from the University of Kentucky. He received his Ph.D. in 1917 from Cornell University under Virgil Snyder. Hollcroft was a mathematics professor at Wells College from 1918 to 1954, from which he retired as professor emeritus. Hollcroft served for 14 years as Associate Secretary of the American Mathematical Society. In 1932 in Zurich he was an Invited Speaker of the International Congress of Mathematician (ICM). His subject was THE GENERAL WEB OF SURFACES AND THE SPACE INVOLUTION DEFINED BY ITÂ. Being invited to talk at the ICM has been called "the equivalent of induction to a hall of fame." - from Wikipedia. Softcover (stapled wraps). Very Good condition.
