Présentation de l'éditeur
In the admirable series of mathematical text-books, still unequaled in many essential particulars, which the late Professor Charles Davies issued, theE lementary Algebra has an important place. The intent and scope of the work is set forth in the preface to the latest edition that the accomplished author prepared :A lgebra naturally follows arithmetic in a course of scientific studies. The language of figures, and the elementary combinations of numbers, are acquired at an early age. When the pupil passes to a new system, conducted by letters and signs, the change seems abrupt; and he often experiences much difficulty before perceiving that algebra is but arithmetic written in a different language. It is the design of this work to supply a connecting link between arithmetic and algebra ;to indicate the unity of the methods ;and to conduct the pupil from the arithmetical processes to the more abstract methods of analysis, by easy and simple gradations. The work is also introductory to the University A lgebra, and to the Algebra of M. Bourdon, which latter is justly considered, both in this country and in Europe, as the best text-book on the subject which has yet appeared.
