I. Mathematical & Scientific Notes , n.d., 1866, 1886

While some of the pamphlets and papers are dated from 1866 to1890, the bulk of the papers are undated. The collection represents the later part of George Washington Coakley’s life particularly his professional work as an instructor at University of the City of New York (NYU) and his mathematical and scientific research, studies and findings. Many of the undated papers refer to algebra, geometry, and a variety of scientific equations and notes written, in charts, and illustrated in diagrams. Many of the papers may or may not have been created by Coakley. The small notebook, in particular, is an instance where students handwrote class notes and gave the notebook as a gift to Coakley.
