Page 37 - In spherical triangles, whether right angled or oblique angled, the sines of the sides are proportional to the sines of the angles opposite to them.
Page 98 - II. A greater magnitude is said to be a multiple of a less, when the greater is measured by the less, that is, ' when the greater contains the less a certain number of times exactly.' III. " Ratio is a mutual relation of two magnitudes of the same kind to one another, in respect of quantity.
Page 45 - Stewart's theorem enables us to resolve easily the following problem : " To draw a circle touching another given circle and passing through two given points.
Page 79 - ... produced. The proposition, however, is equally true for both figures. By adopting the suggested convention we get rid both of the difficulty of drawing the figure and of the implication that the truth of the proposition is limited to the case where the perpendiculars lie on opposite sides of BC. (c) " AB, BC are equal arcs of a circle and P is a point on the arc BC, show that BP bisects the angle contained by AP and CP produced.

Object of the present paper is the analytical demonstration and the extension to «-dimensional space of a third mode of generation, equally due to Mannheim, according to which the wave-surface is the locus of the point that admits with respect to a given ellipsoid an enveloping cone , one of the principal sections of which is a right angle. This generalisation however does not conduct to the same « — 1-dimensional figure as before (p.
