The Cambridge Colloquium, 1916

The Cambridge Colloquium, 1916: Part 2, Analysis Situs (1918) is a mathematical treatise written by Oswald Veblen. The book is a detailed account of the proceedings of the second part of the Cambridge Colloquium, which was held in 1916. The focus of this part of the colloquium was on the topic of analysis situs, which is a branch of topology that deals with the study of the properties of geometric objects that are preserved under continuous transformations, such as stretching, bending, and twisting. Veblen's book provides a comprehensive overview of the various papers presented at the colloquium, including those by renowned mathematicians such as Henri Poincar�����, �����lie Cartan, and Gaston Darboux. The book covers a wide range of topics in analysis situs, including the fundamental group, homology theory, and the theory of surfaces. Veblen's writing style is clear and concise, making the book accessible to both experts and non-experts in the field of mathematics. The book also includes numerous diagrams and illustrations to aid in the understanding of the concepts presented. Overall, The Cambridge Colloquium, 1916: Part 2, Analysis Situs (1918) is an important work in the history of mathematics, providing a valuable resource for anyone interested in the development of topology and its applications.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
