Advanced Algebra (Classic Reprint)

This book is designed for use in secondary schools and in short college courses. It aims to present in concise but clear form the portions of algebra that are required for entrance to the most exacting colleges and techidcal schools. The chapters on algebra to quadratics are intended for a review of the subject, and contain many points of view that should be presented to a student after he has taken a first course on those topics. Throughout the book the attention is concentrated on subjects that are most vital, pedagogically and practically, while topics that demand a knowledge of the calculus for their complete comprehension (as midtiple roots, andS turms theorem) or are more closely related to other portions of mathematics (as theory of numbers, and series) have been omitted. The chapter on graphical representation has been introduced early, in the beU ef that the Ulumination which it affords greatly enlivens the entire presentation of algebra. The discussion of the relation between pairs of linear equations and pairs of straight lines is particularly suggestive. In each chapter the discussion is directed toward a definite result.
