Abstract

PROF. E. T. WHITTAKER'S presidential address to the Royal Society of Edinburgh, delivered on October 25, on “The New Algebras and their Significance for Physics and Philosophy”, contains a characteristically lucid account of the main features of non-commutative algebra and its application to modern physics. Its significance for philosophy follows perhaps by implication ; but it is to be regretted that, presumably through limitation of space, this interesting aspect of the subject received no specific treatment.
