Product Description
During the years 1901-1904 Dr. Alexander Macfarlane delivered, at
Lehigh University, lectures on twenty-five British mathematicians
of the nineteenth century. The manuscripts of twenty of these
lectures have been found to be almost ready for the printer,
although some marginal notes by the author indicate that he had
certain additions in view. The editors have felt free to disregard
such notes, and they here present ten lectures on ten pure
mathematicians in essentially the same form as delivered. In a
future volume it is hoped to issue lectures on ten mathematicians
whose main work was in physics and astronomy.

These lectures were given to audiences composed of students,
instructors and townspeople, and each occupied less than an hour
in delivery. It should hence not be expected that a lecture can
fully treat of all the activities of a mathematician, much less
give critical analyses of his work and careful estimates of his
influence. It is felt by the editors, however, that the lectures
will prove interesting and inspiring to a wide circle of readers
who have no acquaintance at first hand with the works of the men
who are discussed, while they cannot fail to be of special
interest to older readers who have such acquaintance.

It should be borne in mind that expressions such as ``now,''
``recently,'' ``ten years ago,'' etc., belong to the year when a
lecture was delivered. On the first page of each lecture will be
found the date of its delivery.

For six of the portraits given in the frontispiece the editors are
indebted to the kindness of Dr.\ David Eugene Smith, of Teachers
College, Columbia University.

Alexander Macfarlane was born April 21, 1851, at Blairgowrie,
Scotland. From 1871 to 1884 he was a student, instructor and
examiner in physics at the University of Edinburgh, from 1885 to
1894 professor of physics in the University of Texas, and from
1895 to 1908 lecturer in electrical engineering and mathematical
physics in Lehigh University. He was the author of papers on
algebra of logic, vector analysis and quaternions, and of
Monograph No.\ 8 of this series. He was twice secretary of the
section of physics of the American Association for the Advancement
of Science, and twice vice-president of the section of mathematics
and astronomy. He was one of the founders of the International
Association for Promoting the Study of Quaternions, and its
president at the time of his death, which occured at Chatham,
Ontario, August 28, 1913. His personal acquaintance with British
mathematicians of the nineteenth century imparts to many of these
lectures a personal touch which greatly adds to their general
interest.

The Author's Perspective
This book tells of my personal, 28 year journey in Corporate America from Los Angeles to Atlanta to Chicago and back to Atlanta. In each professional position, I was the first African American hired, and I experienced the type of racism and sexism during the 60's, 70's, and 80's that,unfortunately, many women and minorities still experience today.

My bookdeals with the situations in which a single woman finds herself, thechanges that a married woman must deal with, and the challenges of theworking and traveling mother.

I am extremely proud of this, my firstbook, because it won for me the Georgia Author of the Year in the area ofNonfiction. My publisher was so pleased that I was asked to write a sequeldetailing how I overcame the racism and sexism. That sequel was BeyondLimitations, and it is based on self-esteem, success, and sustenance.

Ihave discovered that women and minorities easily identify with theexperiences I discuss, but white males have said that the book has helpedthem to understand what women and minorities have to contend with. If thebook makes them better managers and coworkers, I am grateful. ... Read more
