HARDY, G. H.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

A Course of Pure Mathematics. First edition, first impression, of Hardy's first book, a work that was to become the standard text on the subject at Cambridge for generations. Hardy became "generally recognized as the leading English mathematician of his time... The standard of mathematic rigour in England at that time was not high, and Hardy set himself to give the ordinary student a course in which elementary analysis was for the first time done properly" (DNB).
