Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Ntf rPREFACE In the preparation of this text the author acknowledges joint authorship with Robert L. Short, Technical High School, Cleveland. A knowledge of the more elementary parts of algebra is presupposed. For this reason some definitions and rules for operation are assumed as already known to the pupil. Attention is called to the generalization and bringing together of related topics. Chapter III is an example of this feature. Here all forms of the exponent are treated. This gives opportunity to regard the logarithm as a decimal exponent and to make the logarithmic operation laws intelligible. The introduction of all linear equations and inequalities inC hapter II shows their solution directly dependent upon the four fundamental operations. It is thought that the introduction of the idea of functionality and of algebraic forms taken directly from the calculus will be found helpful to those who expect to pursue the study of mathematics further. The treatment of factoring is thorough and so taken up thatS ynthetic Division becomes the natural method for factoring many higher forms and for solving equations of higher degree. It is hoped that the treatment of variation as a proportion will remove the reluctance with which most pupils approach that subject in connection with their work in science. In scope this text is sufficient preparation for most courses in mathematics which require thorough knowledge of the operations of algebra. WEBSTER WELLS.
