Excerpt from High School Algebra Chapter X., with which the pupil would begin the second year's work, contains a thorough review of the simple rules. Here the more complicated processes are dealt with. The graphical work is introduced naturally in illustrating the negative quantity and in the solution of equations. Only graphs which can be drawn with the ruler and compasses are included in the book. More attention is given to methods of inspection in the extraction of roots. The long process for cube root is eliminated, as cube root is not now required in arithmetic. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from School Algebra This Algebra is the second volume of a series of two books. It contains material for a half-year course and presupposes a year's work such as is provided in the authors' First Course, or any similar text. Since, in many schools, a year or more intervenes between the first and second courses in algebra, it has been deemed advisable to include a review of the First Course before proceeding to new subjects. This part of the book is, however, more than a mere hasty resume. While the student is reviewing the topics of the first year, he is at the same time making a distinct advance by seeing the subject from new view-points, which his added maturity and training enable him to appreciate. The selection of new topics in this Second Course is in accord with current practice in the best high schools. While the book contains material for thorough preparation for college, the authors have not had in mind solely the students making such preparation, but rather the great body of students who will go no further in our educational system than the high school. The chapter devoted to the notion of a function is introduced in 0 the belief that the high school student should become somewhat familiar with the idea Of the correspondence between two re lated variables. Along with the notion of a function, the graph is presented with a View to leading the students to picture and to visualize this correspondence.

Excerpt from An Algebra for High Schools and Academies The book will be found well adapted for use in high schools, academies, and other preparatory institutions. The latest methods and newest processes are fully presented throughout; at the same time, all those older features of the science which are of permanent value have been purposely retained. The plan of the book is such that it may be profitably used by students of different grades. The following is sug gested as a good course for the more elementary classes Fundamental Principles, - Notation, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division Equations, - the first six principles in Special Theorems and their application to Factoring, High est Common Divisor, Lowest Common Multiple, Equations and Fractions closing with Equations of two and three unknown quantities. The regular course for the more advanced high schools and academies should embrace the first seventeen chapters, while schools preparing students for universities having more advanced requirements will find in the additional chapters which the book contains all that may be needed.
