(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.

Clarence Lemuel Elisha Moore
Edit ProfileEducation
After some years of school teaching, Moore entered the Ohio State University, from which he was graduated in 1901. He then pursued graduate study in mathematics at Cornell University, from which he received the degree of M. A. in 1902, and that of Ph. D. in 1904.
From this time until his death, he was associated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he was successively instructor, assistant professor (1909), associate professor (1916), and professor (1920). Shortly after going to the Institute, he spent a year in study abroad, principally at Turin under Segre, and the influence of the Italian geometers profoundly affected his later mathematical work.
Career
Moore began his mathematician career with problems concerning algebraic geometry in Euclidean space of three and higher dimensions and later proceeded to the differential geometry of Riemannian manifolds. He also did some work on the applications of vector analysis to geometry. Taken as a whole, his work possesses unusual unity and gives evidence of a real feeling for vital problems and a keen geometric insight into them. His papers (partly with E. B. Wilson) applying the methods of Ricci to the geometry of hyperspace, a field since made popular by the interest in the theory of relativity, showed him to be one of the first American mathematicians to recognize the importance of these methods. His last few papers dealt with the geometry of Pfaffians.
From 1921 to his death, he edited the Journal of Mathematics and Physics, which was founded at the Institute of Technology largely through his efforts.
Achievements
-
Moore was outstanding in all three of the fields of activity of an American educator: teaching, administration, and research. He conducted classes in mathematics as applied to aeronautics; for eleven years he was in charge of the course in general science and engineering. He was one of the founders of the MIT Journal of Mathematics and Physics. In creative mathematical work, Clarence maintained a vigorous interest throughout his entire career, and his accomplishments were large, although he was all his life handicapped by deficient eyesight. His numerous published papers deal principally with geometry. He was a member of various mathematical societies and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
