The theory of determinants in the historical order of development, by Sir Thomas Muir.

'232 HISTORY OF THE THEORY OF DETERMINANTS established by using the multiplication-theorem, the multiplier and product being, in the case of the 4t1" order, 1-(m)1 (n) -(n)3. -(-) (-)2.. 1:, I-(rn)4 (m-_1). -(qn-2)2 (in,-3)1 respectively. NAkGELSBACH, H. (1874). [Zur independenten Darstellung der Beruoullischen Zahien. Zeitschriftf. Math. u. Phys., xix. pp. 219-233.] From recurrence-formulae Ndgelsbach deduces four different ways of expressing a Bernoulli number by means of a determinant, The two simplest of the results are B =11 31 1 ~.. 3 7..5.7(2n-+ 1).22-1 2 52 54 3 7, 74 7. 4 9, 94 96.... and n ~~~~~~~~~~(2v2 + 1)! = 1 3,5 1 71 73 75. 1 91 93 95 where r8, stands for r(r-1)...
