IN this book we have sought to give an account of a department of mathematics which is now generally regarded as fundamental. A list of the men to whom the successive advances of the subject are due, includes, with few exceptions, the names of the greatest French and German mathematicians of the century, from Cauchy and Gauss onward. And in line with these advances lie the chief fields of mathematical activity at the present day.

Advances in Language And Education (Continuum Studies in Linguistics)
This book examines new functional approaches to language and education, and the impact of these on literacy in the classroom. The first section looks at issues of multimodality, in which the definition of a text is expanded to include not only that which is written down, but also the interaction of writing, graphics, and audiovisual material. The contributors explores ways in which language education can be expanded to deal with multimodal discourse, whether in children's books, in textbooks, or on the web.
