The Measurement of Groups and Series
A Course of Lectures (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Measurement of Groups and Series: A Course of Lectures<br><br>The present course of Lectures on the Measurement of Groups and Series deals with some of the most modern methods of statistical research. Interesting as they were to those who had the advantage of hearing them delivered, they will doubtless, when studied at leisure in printed form, prove even more interesting and useful.<br><br>These Lectures are the fifth of a Series originated in 1897, designed for the assistance of Actuarial Students in connection with matters not included in the official Text Books. Three of the Series deal with legal matters, and. one with the subject of Stock Exchange Securities. The present course carries the range of topics into the field of mathematics, and it is hoped that courses of lectures may be hereafter provided dealing with other subjects, practical and theoretical, relating to those branches of knowledge which it is the province of the Institute of Actuaries to promote and encourage.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
