Description

Todhunter's textbooks continued in use for many years after his death. His reputation rests on the contribution he made to the history of mathematics. In all of these historical works, he gave a close and carefully reasoned account of the difficulties involved and the solutions offered by each investigator. His studies and use of source material were thorough and fully documented.
