Excerpt from A Course in Interpolation and Numerical Integration For: The Mathematical Laboratory The present work is intended for the use of students who are learning the practices of Interpolation and Numerical Integration. The advantages of a practical knowledge of this part of Mathematics are so obvious that it is needless to insist on them here; and these subjects form an important part of the course in the modern Mathematical Laboratory. There are, however, so many claims on the time of students that the extent of this course, as of all others, must be kept within narrow limits: and it has therefore been necessary to restrict the treatment to the most central and indispensable theorems. A large number of numerical illustrations and examples has been given of a kind likely to occur in the applications of Mathematics. My thanks are due to Professor Whittaker and to my colleague, Mr E. M. Horsburgh, M.A.

, B.Sc, Assoc. M.Inst. C.E., for their valuable criticisms and suggestions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
