Synopsis

Excerpt from A Short Course in College Mathematics Comprising Thirty-Six Lessons on Algebra, Coordinate Methods, and Plane Trigonometry

This little text is based on the supposition that such con densation 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 van tage points without stopping to explore all the intermediate terrain.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Theke has been an increasing demand in recent years for shorter courses in mathematics, based on the assumption, which 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.
