Synopsis

Excerpt from College Algebra

The facts of Algebra are of minor importance to the average individual and the subject should not be studied with the acquiring of these facts as the principal object to be attained. Algebra studied for the mere body of facts which it contains is a waste of time. These facts the student will of course acquire, but the authors believe they should come as incidentals to the acquiring of the methods and principles of the subject. The principal object, therefore, for both teacher and student to keep in mind is the acquisition, not of the facts, but of the underlying methods and principles, and we believe that when this is done the facts will be more intelligently comprehended and better retained.

We have endeavored to develop the topics treated in as logical and scientific a manner as was consistent with good pedagogy. The ground required for entrance to the scientific courses of the leading Colleges and Schools, or that required in the freshman year by the students in the course in arts has been covered, and in addition the needs of more advanced students have been kept in mind. Rather more ground is covered than is laid down in the requirements for the examinations in Advanced Algebra by the College Entrance Examination Board. In any case no difficulty will be experienced in omitting the extra parts if the teacher so desires.

The major portion of the book has been used in pamphlet form for several years with good results by the freshmen at Syracuse University.
