Extract

The present paper is intended to be a supplement to two previous papers on the same subject by Professor E. T. Whittaker. For information regarding the meaning of the term “graduation” and the new standpoint from which Professor Whittaker views the subject we need only refer to the papers themselves. Our concern here is with the practical solution of the problem, for which we suggest an alternative method.
