Note 34 — Chapter XV · THE HISTORY OF THE MATHEMATICAL TRIPOS.
Reading edition
The greater part of this chapter formerly appeared in my Mathematical Recreations and Essays, but a few paragraphs on “coaching” have been taken from a paper which I wrote for distribution to those who attended the International Congress of Mathematicians held in England in 1912. The subject is treated in Whewell’s Liberal Education, Cambridge, three parts, 1845, 1850, 1853; Wordsworth’s Scholae Academicae, Cambridge, 1877; my own Origin and History of the Mathematical Tripos, Cambridge, 1880; Glaisher’s Presidential Address to the London Mathematical Society, Transactions, vol. XVIII, 1886, pp. 4–38; and my History of the Study of Mathematics at Cambridge, Cambridge, 1889.
