Scope and content
This series consists of notebooks and some loose notes most likely used for course lectures and research starting in 1947 to 1976. Some of the subjects include: Differential Geometry, Advanced Calculus, Generator and Relations, Non-Euclidean Geometry and Discrete Groups. Some remain unidentified and have been placed at the end of the series.
Also included are notes on visiting lectures to other universities including Dartmouth College, St. Andrews, University of Warwik and Utrecht. Of particular interest is a notebook for his visiting lectureship for the Mathematical Association of America (March – May 1958) which Coxeter identified as the basis for his classic book Introduction to Geometry.
