The transition from the traditional algebra of many of our secondary schools to the reconstructed algebra of the best American colleges is more abrupt than is necessary or creditable. This lack of articulation between the work of the schools and the colleges emphasizes the need of a fuller and more thorough course in elementary algebra than is furnished by the text-books now most commonly used. It is with the hope of supplying this new demand that an American edition of Charles Smith sE lementary Algebra is published; a work whose excellencies, as represented in former editions, have been recognized by able critics on both sides of the A tlantic. In the rearrangement of the work and in its adaptation to American schools many changes have been made, too many to be noted in a short preface, and a considerable amount of new subject-matter has been introduced. The following are innovations of some importance: Chapter I., consisting of a series of introductory lessons, is wholly new, and Chapter XIII. is partly new and partly transferred from Chapter XXVIII. of the second edition.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book represents a fundamental resource for students of elementary algebra. Its origins lie in the traditions of algebra as taught in American secondary schools, where it sought to introduce elements of analysis to provide more advanced insights and reflect more scholarly approaches to algebra that students would encounter at the collegiate level. The author sought to arrange the subject matter in a logical and complete way so that all the basic operations and concepts of elementary algebra are addressed. This book is presented in a constructive way that emphasizes the interconnections of each concept with the other operations and their ultimate goal of solving equations, through both addition, subtraction, and multiplication of polynomial expressions. The author's presentation of sophisticated concepts such as irrational numbers and exponents and surds demonstrate a consistent and thorough approach to ensure the student's comprehensive algebra education. The book's main themes are the operations of algebra and the use of those operations to solve equations, presented in a way that lays the groundwork for more advanced algebraic concepts. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330314333_0
