Excerpt from Junior High School Mathematics: Book III: General Mathematics for the Ninth Year
This series of mathematical textbooks marks a new type of mathematics as to aims, purposes, and material. Unbiased by tradition, the author seeks to give the mathematics necessary in order to interpret the quantitative phases of modern life, met by the average intelligent person outside of his specialized vocation. That is, all topics and processes have been selected for the primary purpose of developing the power to see and the habit of seeing those quantitative relationships and spatial magnitudes necessary to a better understanding and appreciation of present-day life.
To do this, the series makes use of concepts and processes usually classed as arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry; but it uses only such a part of these subjects as is needed to interpret and appreciate the references to them found in general reading or met in present-day social activities. It is the modern needs of the student, then, that are kept constantly in mind in the selection of topics, and not the development of the subject along traditional lines.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the world of relationships between quantities and space, providing a solid foundation for students embarking on their study of algebra and geometry. The author begins by introducing literal notation, a tool that enables readers to express mathematical facts in brief form, saving time and clarifying complex expressions. The book then explores the concept of an equation, a statement of equality between two expressions containing an unknown quantity. The author provides a step-by-step guide to solving equations, addressing various types and offering numerous practice problems. By understanding how to solve equations, readers gain the ability to find the missing information in indirect measurement problems, a skill commonly encountered in everyday life. The author extends this knowledge to the realm of geometry, explaining concepts like angles, segments, and measurement techniques. Step-by-step instructions and helpful diagrams guide readers through constructing angles, bisecting lines, and measuring with compasses. These geometrical principles are essential for understanding more advanced mathematical concepts and for practical applications in fields such as architecture, engineering, and design. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
