Elementary Algebra (Classic Reprint)

Secretaries of the Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate and of theO xford and Cambridge Schools Examination Board for permission to use the papers and questions which have been set in the examinations held under their authority. A large number of the examples inserted at the end of each chapter are, except for a few verbal alterations, derived from one or other of these sources, and indicate the tests of a knowledge of the subject which are usually applied: those questions which are marked with an asterisk are intended for the more advanced students only. The numerous examples interspersed in the text of each chapter are in most cases easier than those placed at the end of the chapters, and can be solved by a direct application of the rules given in the text. I gratefully acknowledge my obligations toD rF orsyth ofT rinity College, Cambridge, Mr Platts ofT rinity College, Cambridge, Mr Tucker, theS ecretary of theL ondon Mathematical Society, formerly of St John sC ollege, Cambridge, and now of University College School, London, and Mr R. T. Wright of Christ sC ollege, Cambridge, who have generously devoted considerable time to the dreary task of reading the proof-sheets and verifying the results of the examples. Their suggestions and remarks have been of great assistance to me, and have saved the book from many imperfections and obscurities. I shall be grateful for notices of misprints, corrections, or criticisms on the work which may occur to any of my readers. W. W. ROUSE BALL. Tbinitt College, Cambbibge, October,
