A Short Introduction to Graphical Algebra (Classic Reprint)

It was, in fact, rather hastily compiled during a seaside holiday, and I had neither time nor opportunity for adequately treating the practical side of graphical work. Consequently all questions dealing with statistics and physical formulae were deliberately omitted to enable me to present the analytical aspect of the subject in sufficient detail within the limits of a few pages. The present edition has been very considerably enlarged. The additions are of two kinds :first, a further development of the illustrations arising out of graphs of known functions ;and secondly, the application to practical questions in which the graph has to be obtained by plotting a series of values determined by observation or experiment. The subject is practically inexhaustible ;but it is hoped that a student who has worked intelligently through the following pages will have added something useful and interesting to his algebraical knowledge, and will find himself sufficiently equipped to pursue the study further in the laboratory or workshop. I am indebted to several friends for advice and suggestions. In particular, I wish to express my thanks toM r. D. Rintoul of Clifton College, and to my former pupil Mr. E. A. Price of Winchester. H.
