Présentation de l'éditeur

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

The present volume contains a second course in algebra adapted to the latter part of the High School curriculum. The book is divided into two parts, Part One being meant for use in such classes as give only a half year to the second course in algebra, while the entire volume is to be used by classes giving a whole year to the second course. In half-year classes, Part Two will constitute a reservoir of extra work for bright pupils. The features which characterize the authors First Book in Algebra are continued and dieveloped. Extended use is made of the graph, among other advances being the per capita and efficiency curves and dissected bar graphs. In the treatment of the formula, the pupil is asked more frequently to supply letters and to devise the complete formula. No other part of algebra so develops thought power and cultivates an appreciation of the spirit of algebra as does the verbal problem. Accordingly, more difficult and varied verbal problems are supplied, many being given in the inverse form, where the conditions of a problem are stated in symbols and the pupil is asked to convert the symbolic statement into general language. Throughout the book, pivotal and permanently valiuible numbers, facts and laws from other branches of study are introduced in various ways. This gives a correlation of algebra with geography, history, economics, and other school studies.

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.
