Excerpt from First Course in AlgebraIn this revision of their "First Course in Algebra" the authors have in general followed the plan of that text in the order of topics treated and in the method of their presentation.The most important modification of the order of topics is found in the transference of the work on Ratio and Proportion to the last chapter in the book and the omission of the chapter on the Highest Common Factor and Lowest Common Multiple. The latter topic is treated in connection with the related material on fractions, while the former is placed among the Supplementary Topics at the end of the book.Material for which there is no strong demand from teachers has been omitted, and the entire work has been rewritten in the interest of greater simplicity and directness of appeal. The collections of exercises and problems are for the most part new and contain a larger proportion of easy exercises with simple results than the first edition.A striking feature of the revision is the inclusion of a large number of oral exercises in connection with the introduction of each new idea or operation. It is the object of these exercises to present the new concept in complete isolation from any complication of notation or technique so that the student becomes familiar with its content and bearing before he is asked to make use of it in written work. These oral exercises may well be taken up when the advance lesson is assigned, so that the pupil may be certain that he understands the idea involved in the new work before he leaves his instructor.Another feature scarcely less important is the character and position of the examples and hints.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Second Course in AlgebraThis book is designed to follow the authors' First Course in Algebra or any other text of similar scope and treatment. Experience shows that when a student returns to the study of algebra, after even a summer's vacation, a review is very necessary; and that it is absolutely indispensable if he comes back after a year spent on geometry. The review presented in the early chapters is brief, yet sufficiently thorough. Each review topic has been given a broader and more advanced treat ment than is permissible in a first course. New material is used throughout and many new applications are given in order to make the entire review appeal to the student as fresh and inviting.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
