Boole G. A Treatise On Differential Equations

G.E. Stechert & Co, 1931. — 755 p.In composing his Treatise on Differential Equations Professor Boole found himself deeply interested in the subject to which his first labours as an original investigator had been devoted. In consequence he determined soon after the publication of the volume to continue his studies and researches with the design of ultimately reconstructing the Treatise on a more extensive scale. During the last six years of his life he worked steadily at this object; and he was about to send the first sheets of the new edition to the press when he was attacked by the illness which terminated in his sudden and lamented death.
His manuscripts were entrusted to me early in the year. After careful consideration it seemed to me that best plan to pursue was to reprint the original volume,
into a supplementary volume the additional matter had been prepared for enlarging the work. The propriety, I might almost say the necessity, of this course will be shewn more conveniently in the preface to the supplementary volume, which will soon be published.
The present volume then is a reprint of the original Treatise with changes and corrections, some of which were in Professor Boole's interleaved copy, and some have been made on my own authority. The have been carefully read by the Rev. J. Sephton, of St John's College, as well as by myself; and I misprints or errors will now be found
