Excerpt from Mathematical Problems on the First and Second Divisions of the Schedule of Subjects for the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos Examination

This collection will be found to be unusually copious in problems in the earlier subjects, by which I designed to make it useful to mathematical students, not only in'the Universities, but in the higher classes of public schools.

Excerpt from Mathematical Problems on the First and Second Divisions of the Schedule of Subjects for the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos Examination

This "Book of Mathematical Problems" consists, mainly, of questions either proposed by myself at various University and College Examinations during the past fourteen years, or communicated to my friends for that purpose. It contains also a certain number, (between three and four hundred), which, as I have been in the habit of devoting considerable time to the manufacture of problems, have accumulated on my hands in that period. In each subject I have followed the order of the Text-books in general use in the University of Cambridge; and I have endeavoured also, to some extent, to arrange the questions in order of difficulty.

I had not sufficient boldness to seek to impose on any of my friends the task of verifying my results, and have had therefore to trust to my own resources. I have however done my best, by solving anew every question from the proof sheets, to ensure that few serious errors shall be discovered. I shall be much obliged to any one who will give me information as to those which still remain.

I have, in some cases, where I thought I had anything serviceable to communicate, prefixed to certain classes of problems fragmentary notes on the mathematical subjects to which they relate. These are few in number, and I hope will be found not altogether superfluous.

This collection will be found to be unusually copious in problems in the earlier subjects, by which I designed to make it useful to mathematical students, not only in the Universities, but in the higher classes of public schools.
