Complete School Algebra (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Complete School Algebra<br><br>This book, designed for at least one and one-half year's work in algebra, is intended for the use of those schools which find a one-book course best adapted to their needs. Experience thoroughly justifies a careful review at the beginning of the third half year's work. As the first twenty-three chapters contain the greater portion of the usual first year's work in algebra, it seemed best to follow them with the review material. Here each topic is given a broader and more advanced treatment than is permissible in first-year work. New matter is used throughout, and many new applications are given in order to make a fresh and inviting appeal to the student. In the remaining chapters the aim has been to include those topics considered necessary by the best secondary schools, and to treat each in a clear, practical, and attractive manner.<br><br>A painstaking attempt has been made in this book to select and arrange the material so that no student will find the work insipid, while the student who might find the subject unduly hard will be prepared for approaching difficulties, and encouraged into interested and successful effort. To accomplish this, every group of problems or exercises is graded with exactness; lists of exercises which afford extended practice in the mere translation of English into algebraic language are given at proper intervals; the explanations are many and unusually full; and the exceptionally numerous hints arid illustrative examples are placed precisely where needed.<br><br>The authors do not believe it is desirable to attempt to correlate algebra with other subjects than arithmetic, geometry, and physics.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
