(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Bartholomew Price
Bartholomew Price was an English mathematician and educator.
Education
He was educated at Pembroke College, Oxford, of which college (after taking a first class in mathematics in 1840 and gaining the university mathematical scholarship in 1842) he became fellow in 1844.
Career
Price became mathematical lecturer at Pembroke College, Oxford in 1845. He at once took a leading position in the mathematical teaching of the university, and published treatises on the Differential calculus (in 1848) and the Infinitesimal calculus (4 vols. , 1852–1860.
In 1853, he was appointed Sedleian professor of natural philosophy, resigning it in June 1898. His chief public activity at Oxford was in connection with the Hebdomadal Council, and with the Clarendon Press, of which he was for many years secretary. He was also a curator of the Bodleian Library, a governor of Winchester College and a visitor of Greenwich Observatory. In 1891, he was elected Master of Pembroke College, which dignity carried with it a canonry of Gloucester Cathedral. He also seems to have donated an interesting astronomical clock to Gloucester cathedral.
He died in December 1898 and was buried in Holywell Cemetery, Oxford.
Achievements
-
His treatises on the Differential calculus (in 1848) and the Infinitesimal calculus (4 vols. , 1852–1860) for long were the recognized textbooks at Pembroke College, Oxford. The latter work included the differential and integral calculus, the calculus of variations, the theory of attractions, and analytical mechanics.
