Présentation de l'éditeur
This revision of theS econd Course in Algebra has been carried out in the same spirit as was the recent revision of the First Course in Algebra by the same authors. The exercises and problems, mainly new, have been carefully graded, and the exposition has been wholly rewritten. Some advantageous changes have been made in the order of topics, and some chapters for which no well-grounded demand exists have been omitted. Such simplifications of exercises and exposition have been made as are consistent with a standard course in thirdsemester algebra. In the chapters devoted to a review of first-year algebra the fact was borne constantly in mind that the material would be handled by students who had not pursued the study of algebra during the preceding year. It was consequently thought desirable to have work in equations come much earlier than before. The subject of fractions, the topic usually most in need of review, has received full and careful treatment. Linear systems have been presented without the use of determinants. Instead of treating square root, radicals, and exponents in one chapter, the work under these topics has been made more accessible by giving a separate chapter to each. The needs of classes, even under almost identical conditions, differ widely, one class needing more review on a certain topic than does another. Consequently the review material has been expanded so as to afford ample work for any class. It is not intended, however, that all the exercises and problems should be solved by any one student.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
