Book Description
Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Book Description
Excerpt from Solid Geometry The stone-millis geometry - plane, solid, and plane and solid - published in 1910, was a pioneer in its field, being the first of the group of American textbooks on geometry which in recent years have attempted in various ways to make the teaching of geometry conform to modern thought in education. It marked a wide departure from the traditional Greek geometry after which textbooks for secondary schools had for generations been patterned. This text has met with remarkable success. The educational ideals which it embodied are now recognized as national, and are summarized in the report OF the national committee OF fifteen on the teaching of geometry.

Excerpt from Elementary Geometry, Plane All students of the problems Of education are coming to see that geometry as it has been taught traditionally in the secondary schools, while possessing certain educational values, is not well adapted to the present needs and interests of pupils and does not meet the practical conditions of modern life.

Book Description
Excerpt from Secondary-School Mathematics, Vol. 2 This volume continues the work of Book I and completes the required work in most four-year high schools; namely, algebra through quadratic equations, and all of plane geometry. In addition it trains the pupil in the use of logarithms and trigonometry of the right triangle. These last two topics are taught as a direct consequence of the theory of exponents and of ratios in similar right triangles. With algebra through proportion and most of straight line geometry at the student's command, this book offers from the very beginning the greatest opportunities for the introduction of interesting problems which are impossible in the old plan of keeping algebra and geometry separate. The applied problems, involving a knowledge of technical terms in shop or in the work of household arts, are so arranged that their introduction is at the discretion of the teacher, this of course depending largely on the type of school in which the text is being used.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Teaching of Geometry A book upon the teaching of geometry may be planned in divers ways. It may be written to exploit a new theory of geometry, or a new method of presenting the science as we already have it. On the other hand, it may be ultraconservative, making a plea for the ancient teaching and the ancient geometry. It may be prepared for the purpose of setting forth the work as it now is, or with the tempting but dangerous idea of prophecy. It may appeal to the iconoclast by its spirit of destruction, or to the disciples of laissez faire by its spirit of conserving what the past has bequeathed. It may be written for the few who always lead, or think they lead, or for the many who are ranked by the few as followers. And in view of these varied pathways into the joint domain of geometry and education, a writer may well afford to pause before he sets his pen to paper, and to decide with care the route that he will take. At present in America we have a fairly well-defined body of matter in geometry, and this occupies a fairly well-defined place in the curriculum. There are not wanting many earnest teachers who would change both the matter and the place in a very radical fashion. There are not wanting others, also many in number, who are content with things as they find them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from On Teaching Geometry, Vol. 9 This book fully meets the most rigid requirements now made in secondary schools. Like the author's other Algebras, it has met with marked success and is in extensive use in schools of the highest rank in all parts of the country. The method of presenting the fundamental topics differs at several points from that usually followed. It is simpler, more logical and more philosophical, yet by reason of its admirable grading and superior clearness The Essentials of Algebra is not a difficult book. The examples and problems number over three thousand and are very carefully graded. They are especially numerous in the important chapters on Factoring, Fractions, and Radicals. All of them are new, not one being a duplicate of a problem in the author's Academic Algebra. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
