9781440099908: Intermediate Algebra (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Excerpt from Intermediate Algebra

The Intermediate Algebra is designed to follow the authors' Elementary Algebra. It meets the most exacting requirements of college entrance and other examination boards and of the syllabi of various states. The presentation of topics, therefore, follows the traditional order.

While recognizing the increased maturity of the pupils, the authors nevertheless maintain in this present text that simple and interesting form of presentation which characterizes the earlier book. For example, while the axioms and fundamental laws are used in the proofs of theorems, yet these are stated and the proofs are given in an informal manner that at once attracts and holds the pupils' attention and interest.

Following are some of the features which deserve particular mention:

1. The abundant exercises, both oral and written, throughout the book, especially in the review of the four fundamental operations, and in factoring and fractions.

2. The unusual attention given to the applications of each topic in the carefully graded problems, especially in those parts of the book where the treatment is more extended than that given in the Elementary Algebra.

3. The clear and simple development of determinants of the second and third orders, and their use in solving systems of linear equations and in testing the consistency of such systems.

4. The chapter on the number system of algebra preceding quadratics and giving a simple and clear presentation of the elementary treatment of complex numbers just where it is most needed.
