Military Examinations. Mathematical Examination Papers Set at an Open Competition for Admission to t

This volume comprises mathematical examination papers used in open competitions for admission to the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, and for first appointments in the Royal Marine Light Infantry. Conducted under the auspices of the Civil Service Commission, these papers offer a detailed look into the standards of mathematical proficiency expected of aspiring military officers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The collection provides invaluable insights for historians of mathematics education, military training, and civil service practices. It showcases the specific mathematical skills deemed essential for military service, reflecting the era's emphasis on practical application and problem-solving abilities. Scholars and researchers will find this compilation a rich resource for understanding the intersections of education, military history, and public administration during a pivotal period of British history.
