A publication of the University of Michigan's Science Series, Studies on Divergent Series and Summability is based on lectures and courses given by Walter Burton Ford at the University of Michigan about infinite series and divergent series. According to Ford, the study of divergent series can be divided into two parts, the first regarding asymptotic series and the second regarding the theory of summability, both of which are discussed within this volume.

A publication of the University of Michigan's Science Series, The Asymptotic Developments of Functions Defined by Maclaurin Series by Walter Burton Ford is an inquiry into the problem of functions defined by Maclaurin series. Here, Ford introduces his own theorem of asymptotic developments, as well as other mathematical theorems, and applies them to mathematical problems. This book was published with the hope of stimulating further research in the field.
