Présentation de l'éditeur
Thirty years ago the late Matthew S. McC urdy published his Exercise Book in Algebra which was intended primarily to be supplementary to some regular text-book, but which he hoped would be found useful as an independent review and drill book. That it amply fulfilled the authors purpose is indicated by the valuable service of the book through many school generations. That Mr. McC urdy wrought with wisdom and skill is attested by the popularity of his book through this long period. The many changes in school courses and in college entrance requirements, however, have made imperative a thorough revision. Although following Mr. McC urdy soriginal plan, the writer has attempted to adapt the book to present requirements. The result is a book which is in some respects entirely new, but which retains many exercises from the original edition. The following are the outstanding changes: 1. Rearrangement of exertjises and topics. 2. Elimination of several topics such as permutations and combinations, undetermined coefficients, and continued fractions. 3. Elimination of numerous exercises which were too difficult. 4. The introduction of a large number of simple exercises, many of which are adapted for oral work and all of which should be helpful to pupils who are reviewing the subject as well as to beginners.
