Extract

The number of writings on continuants belonging to the twenty-year period now reached is 44, being 15 more than for the immediately preceding period 1880–1900. The period bears also three other marks which serve to give it some little additional distinction, (1) the exceptionally full consideration given to the subject of factorisation (factorisation of continuants), (2) the first appearance of an entirely fresh form for special study, the “block continuant” of Simandl, (3) the fact that one of the said 44 writings is a text-book of very considerable extent devoted exclusively to continuants and continued fractions.
