Abstract

An important note in the Proc. Edin. Math. Soc. of May 1904 pointed out that the then prevalent School method of tangents made it difficult for the pupil to gain sound knowledge in his later studies. The same criticism may, I submit, be directed against the treatment, now prevalent in school texts, of (1) surface of sphere, (2) volume of sphere, and (3) volume of cone and pyramid.
