Elementary Algebra for the Use of Schools and Colleges (Classic Reprint)

The transition from the traditional algebra of many of our secondary schools to the reconstructed algebra of the best American colleges is more abrupt than is necessary or creditable. This lack of articulation between the work of the schools and the colleges emphasizes the need of a fuller and more thorough course in elementary algebra than is furnished by the text-books now most commonly used. It is with the hope of supplying this new demand that an American edition of Charles Smith sE lementary Algebra is published; a work whose excellencies, as represented in former editions, have been recognized by able critics on both sides of the A tlantic. In the rearrangement of the work and in its adaptation to American schools many changes have been made, too many to be noted in a short preface, and a considerable amount of new subject-matter has been introduced. The following are innovations of some importance: Chapter I., consisting of a series of introductory lessons, is wholly new, and Chapter XIII. is partly new and partly transferred from Chapter XXVIII. of the second edition.
