The treatment of elementary algebra here is simple and practical, without 

 the sacrifice of scientific accuracy and thoroughness. Particular care has been 

 bestowed upon those chapters which in the customary courses ofter the great- 

 est difficulties to the beginner, especially Problems and Factoring. The intro- 

 duction into Problem Work is very much simpler and more natural than the 

 methods given heretofore. In Factoring, comparatively few methods are 

 given, but these few are treated so thoroughly and are illustrated by so many 

 varied examples that the student will be much better prepared for further 

 work, than by the superficial study of a great many cases. The Exercises are 

 very numerous and well graded; there is a sufficient number of easy examples 

 of each kind to enable the weakest students to do some work. A great many 

 examples are taken from geometry, physics, and commercial life, but none of 

 the introduced illustrations is so complex as to require the expenditure of 

 time for the teaching of physics or geometry. To meet the requirements of 

 the College Entrance Exanrination Board, proportions and graphical methods 

 are introduced into the first year's course, but the work in the latter subject 

 has been so arranged that teachers who wish a shorter course may omit it. 



ADVANCED ALGEBRA

The Advanced Algebra is an amplification of the Elementary. All subjects 

 not now required for admission by the College Entrance Examination Board 

 have been omitted from the present volume, save Inequalities, which has been 

 retained to serve as a basis for higher work. The more important sul^ijects 

 which have been omitted from the body of the work — Indeterminate Equa- 

 tions, Logarithms, etc. — have been relegated to the Appendix, so that the 

 book is a thoroughly practical and comprehensive text-book. The author 

 has emphasized Graphical Methods more than is usual in text-books of this 

 grade, and the Summ^ition of Species is here presented in a novel form.
