A Short Course in College Mathematics, Comprising Thirty-Six Lessons on Algebra, Coordinate Methods, and Plane Trigonometry - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
There has been an increasing demand in recent years ior shorter courses in mathematics, based on the assumption, whieti our experience during the Great War has to some extent verified, that the ordinary processes of education may be greatly accelerated. Colleges of Engineering, Schools ofF orestry, of Mines, of A rchitecture, and other schools of applied science are unwilling to give the time formerly allotted to the subject of mathematics, yet they insist that their students should be acquainted with every essential principle which is of actual use to them in their future work. This little text is based on the supposition that such condensation and acceleration is possible. It was first prepared and printed for use in the mathematics classes of the Army and Navy Students Training Corps. The great emergency in which the nation found itself seemed to justify the attempt to take by direct assault a greater number of mathematical vantage points without stopping to explore all the intermediate terrain. The book contains but thirty-six lessons, of which eighteen are given to the subject of trigonometry and the other eighteen to topics in algebra, to graphs, and to coordinate methods. Yet it is hoped that no essential principle of elementary trigonometry has been omitted, and that this subject has been treated with a completeness sufficient for the needs both of the engineer and the student of the more advanced branches of mathematics, such as analytical geometry and the calculus, while the familiarity gained in the use of coordinate methods should greatly facilitate the study of these latter subjects.

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.
