| 3.1.  The Essence of Mathematics
|
| In this chapter, I propose to consider certain extremely simple branches
| of mathematics which, owing to their utility in logic, have to be treated
| in considerable detail, although to the mathematician they are hardly worth
| consideration.  In Chapter 4, I shall take up those branches of mathematics
| upon which the interest of mathematicians is centred, but shall do no more
| than make a rapid examination of their logical procedure.  In Chapter 5,
| I shall treat formal logic by the aid of mathematics.  There can really
| be little logical matter in these chapters;  but they seem to me to be
| quite indispensable preliminaries to the study of logic.
