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
This volume is intended for the use of pupils who have done a years work inH igh School A lgebra. The first three chapters are a review and extension of the principal topics of the first years work as presented in the authors AH igh School A lgebra, Part One. The fourth chapter, that on logarithms, is, in its theory, merely an application of the subject of exponents. The remainder of the volume treats all of the topics covered in any standard second course in algebra, supplemented by problems applying algebra to geometry. Each important process of algebra is immediately applied to the solving of equations. This plan serves not only to secure the pupils interest, but reveals to him the utility of algebra. Great pains have been taken to supply ample practice work, and the authors have given, under the more important topics, a greater number of exercises than will be required by any one class. In fact, there have been included as many exercises and problems as a text-book of reasonable size will admit. Particular attention has been given to the grading of the exercises and problems, and, for convenience in checking the results, the exercises have been so constructed that the answers are not more complex than the purpose of the exercises a6tually requires. The authors have followed the criterion that every principle should be exemplified with the minimum of calculation. A mong the features that contribute to the teachableness of the book are the Historical Notes.
(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
