Excerpt from Popular Lectures on Scientific Subjects IN 1891 the seventieth birthday of Hermann von Helm holtz, and the forty-ninth anniversary of his taking the degree of Doctor of Medicine, was celebrated in Berlin in a manner which, whether for its universality or import ance, has, perhaps, never fallen to the lot of a Man of Science during his lifetime. The demand for a new edition of the translation of the two volumes of Von Helmholtz's Popular Scientific Lectures suggests that this is an appropriate occasion for a re-issue under conditions which make them accessible to a larger circle of readers. The present edition is identical with the preceding ones; discussing as they do, with the hand of a master, fundamental scientific problems, these Lectures are not likely to be soon out of date. To the second volume has been added a remarkable autobiographical account of the Author's scientific career and development, which formed the subject of an address given by Von Helmholtz in reply to the addresses of congratulation on the occasion of his Jubilee, This is taken, by kind permission of the publisher, M. Hirschwald, from a collection of the addresses and speeches delivered on that occasion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This is a reproduction of the original artefact. Generally these books are created from careful scans of the original. This allows us to preserve the book accurately and present it in the way the author intended. Since the original versions are generally quite old, there may occasionally be certain imperfections within these reproductions. We're happy to make these classics available again for future generations to enjoy!
The importance of science and technology and future of education and research are just some of the subjects discussed here.
The book consists of thirty lectures on diverse topics, covering much of the mathematical landscape rather than focusing on one area. The reader will learn numerous results that often belong to neither the standard undergraduate nor graduate curriculum and will discover connections between classical and contemporary ideas in algebra, combinatorics, geometry, and topology. The reader's effort will be rewarded in seeing the harmony of each subject. The common thread in the selected subjects is their illustration of the unity and beauty of mathematics. Most lectures contain exercises, and solutions or answers are given to selected exercises. A special feature of the book is an abundance of drawings (more than four hundred), artwork by an accomplished artist, and about a hundred portraits of mathematicians. Almost every lecture contains surprises for even the seasoned researcher.
