In the library at the Coast Artillery School at Old Point
Comfort there is a collection of 2,649 books in mathematics, including
a moderate number of periodicals. The books are mainly
in English, but some of the earlier works are represented. This
collection forms the basis for various technical studies in
connection with the activities of the School. Mathematical
analysis forms a line of special interest.
