Mathematics is the language of definiteness, the necessary vocabulary of those who know. Hence the intimate connection between mathematics and science. The tendency to select the problems and illustrations of mathematics mostly from the scientific, commercial and industrial activities of to-day, is one with which the writer is in accord. It may seem that in the following pages puzzles have too largely taken the place of problems. But this is not a text-book. Moreover, amusement is one of the fields of applied mathematics. The aim has been to present some of the most interesting and suggestive phases of the subject. To this aim, all others have yielded, except that accuracy has never intentionally been sacrificed. It is hoped that this little book may be found to possess all the unity, completeness and originality that its title claims.

William F. White was a professor of mathematics at State Normal School in New Paltz, New York and held a PhD from Colgate University. He was also, very clearly, a lover of mathematics. A Scrap-Book of Elementary Mathematics: Notes, Recreations, Essays is White's love letter to math. White makes it clear early in this work that this is not a resource guide or a textbook. Rather, White has created a volume consisting primarily of puzzles, notes, and intriguing principles of mathematics. Essentially, this is the fun side of math. Repeating products, algebraic fallacies, axioms in elementary algebra, and the law of commutation are just four of the intriguing principles discussed. The real strengths of the work are the mathematical games and puzzles presented throughout. Each section of the book is brief, with topics covered in only one or two pages, and the author keeps the book moving at a rapid pace. Bibliographic notes and a detailed index conclude the work. A Scrap-Book of Elementary Mathematics: Notes, Recreations, Essays is exactly the type of text that should be introduced to students of mathematics. It demonstrates real world application of math and all of the quirks and oddities contained within its study. White has put together a lighthearted book that emphasizes enjoyment and discovery over serious analysis and strict repetition. While no replacement for a true textbook, this collection is sure to entertain. Ultimately, A Scrap-Book of Elementary Mathematics: Notes, Recreations, Essays is the rare book that can entertain both kids and adults with math. White's underappreciated work is highly recommended and deserves to sit side by side with modern math textbooks.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This fine book by Herb Clemens quickly became a favorite of many algebraic geometers when it was first published in 1980. It has been popular with novices and experts ever since. It is written as a book of ``impressions'' of a journey through the theory of complex algebraic curves. Many topics of compelling beauty occur along the way. A cursory glance at the subjects visited reveals a wonderfully eclectic selection, from conics and cubics to theta functions, Jacobians, and questions of moduli. By the end of the book, the theme of theta functions becomes clear, culminating in the Schottky problem. The author's intent was to motivate further study and to stimulate mathematical activity. The attentive reader will learn much about complex algebraic curves and the tools used to study them. The book can be especially useful to anyone preparing a course on the topic of complex curves or anyone interested in supplementing his/her reading.
