Alexander Macfarlane (1851-1913), a
Scottish-born professor of mathematics and physics, was a faculty member of the
Department of Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin from 1885-1894.
He later went on to teach at Lehigh University from 1895 to 1908, where wrote a
number of works on quaterions, vector analysis, and British mathematicians.
The Alexander Macfarlane Collection
consists of color reprints of published articles, unpublished essays, and
cataloging records. Dr. Jerry Frazee, a retired chemistry professor at the
University of Texas at Austin, compiled the materials within the collection.
Forms part of the Archives of American Mathematics.
