Book Description
Excerpt from Elementary Algebra: Second Course Tms volume has been prepared as a companion to the first course in elementary algebra, written by the same authors. As its title suggests, the second course is designed for students who have had the equivalent of the work given in the first course. The first course gives one year's work, including the topics now generally taught in the first year of the average high school. The second course reviews the topics treated in the first course, amplifies the treatment in the latter by the addition of new matter where necessary, and extends the course to include all topics required for admission to college.

Book Description
Excerpt from Elementary Algebra: Second Year Course This book contains a brief review of the fundamental opera tions of algebra followed by a thorough presentation of the topics usually included in the work of the third half year. The material is so arranged that the choice of topics for review or advance study may be easily made. The book contains not only a large number of practical problems but also practical applications of graphs. Material for drill in the manipulation of exponents and radicals will be found in Chapter VII. Great pains have been taken to make the subject of logarithms accessible to beginners. The most difficult part in learning to compute with logarithms is the process of interpolation. Of the various arrangements of logarithmic tables which have been suggested, we have selected the one which renders interpolation easiest. The chapter on logarithms is introduced earlier than usual, on account of the great practical importance of the subject. If desired, it can be taken up later, after Chapter VI. The concept of a function does not receive isolated and abstract treatment; it is pre sented as a fundamental idea in proportion, variation, and graphics. Its connection with problems of everyday life is firmly established. The aims of the First Year Book have been kept in view in the preparation of this text. Emphasis is thrown upon clear ness of exposition and the use of expressions which recall the axiomatic processes involved. Continued stress has been laid upon oral exercises. Several of the practical problems given in the text were suggested by the perusal of an English book, T. Percy Nunn's Exercises in Algebra (including Trigonometry), Part I, 1913.

Book Description
Excerpt from Elementary Algebra: First Year Course The sign of multiplication (x) is often replaced in algebra by a dot (e), which is written above the line to distinguish it from a decimal point. Thus3 4means3 4. The product of two numbers, one or both of which are' represented by letters, is usually indicated by writing the numbers one after the other without any Sign between them. Thus ab means a x b or a b, 4 c means 4 x e or 4 C. When only one of two numbers is represented by a letter, it is custom ary to write the letter last. Thus we write 4 c, but not 0 4.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Review of Algebra IN most high schools the course in Elementary Algebra is finished by the end of the second year. By the senior year, most students have forgotten many of the principles, and a thorough review is necessary in order to prepare college candi dates for the entrance examinations and for effective work in the freshman year in college. Recognizing this need, many schools are devoting at least two periods a week for part of the senior year to a review of algebra. For such a review the regular textbook is inadequate. From an embarrassment of riches the teacher finds it laborious to select the proper examples, while the student wastes time in searching for scattered assignments. The object of this book is to conserve the time and effort of both teacher and student, by providing a thorough and effective review that can readily be completed, if need be, in two periods a week for a half year. Each student is expected to use his regular textbook in algebra for reference, as he would use a dictionary, to recall a definition, a rule, or a process that he has forgotten. He should be encouraged to think his way out wherever possible, however, and to refer to the textbook only when forced to do so as a last resort. The definitions given in the General Outline should be reviewed as occasion arises for their use. The whole Outline can be profitably employed for rapid class reviews, by covering the part of the Outline that indicates the answer, the method, the example, or the formula, as the case may be. The whole scheme of the book is ordinarily to have a page of problems represent a day's work. This, of course, does not apply to the Outlines or the few pages of theory, which can be covered more rapidly. By this plan, making only a part of the omissions indicated in the next paragraph, the essentials of the algebra can be readily covered, if need be, in from thirty to thirty-two lessons, thus leaving time for tests, even if only eighteen weeks, of two periods each, are allotted to the course.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Second Course in Elementary Algebra The material in this volume is prepared for the use of pupils who have done a year's work in Elementary Algebra. Many high schools divide their Algebra work into two courses separated by some work in Geometry and elementary science. These schools often find it more convenient and economical to use two books in Algebra, one for the first course and another for the second. The authors' First Course in Elementary Algebra is planned for first-year work and this book is planned for the second-year work. The first six chapters are a review and extension of the topics of the First Course. The chapter on logarithms is new in name only, because in theory it is an extension of the subject of exponents. The remainder of the volume treats the usual topics, Equations, Proportion, Variation and Series, supplemented by problems applying Algebra to Geometry. Throughout the treatment the authors have constantly kept in mind both the logical value and the practical utility of the subject. The logical value of Algebra is of prime importance; hence, the proofs of processes are based upon reasons both correct and satisfying to the mind of the pupil. On the other hand, subtle distinctions and arguments savoring of higher mathematical methods without their true rigor have been avoided. The utility of Algebra is given the emphasis which it so richly deserves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Practical Elementary Algebra This book meets the requirements of the College Entrance Board, and contains, besides, chapters on logarithms and on the application of algebra in science and higher mathematics, as a preparation for technical schools. It has been written, as the title indicates, with the object of making elementary algebra possess more practical value, both in the ordinary and also in the cultural or educational sense of the word. It is written as well for those who do not go to college, as for those who do. A wave of interest in mathematical teaching has swept over the United States during the past five or six years, receiving an impetus from the Perry movement in England. Numerous organizations of teachers have been formed, and quite a literature has been built up in the publications of these societies. The author has studied this literature carefully and utilized its suggestions freely. The whole field of exercises has been eagerly searched for more practical problems, and a considerable number of new ones has been introduced. The belief is expressed that with this training in solving such problems the student will be much more likely to apply his algebra to everyday affairs and in advanced studies than without it. The progress of the student through the formal parts of the subject is made easy and rapid. As far as possible the snags and pitfalls have been removed, and the path has been made plain and open. The algebraic notation is wonderfully compact and shorthandlike, and its complexities should not be forced on young minds too early. Much of the pleasure in the study consists in the easy and facile doing of the work assigned. With the difficult exercises, obscure explanations, and unnecessary definitions cut out, rapid progress can be made. The topics are presented in such a way that in case any are imperfectly developed, or left unfinished in class, the average student can get the help he needs from the book.
