Algebra, Vol. 1: An Elementary Text-Book for the Higher Classes of Secondary Schools and for Colleges (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Algebra an Elementary Text Book for the Higher Classes of Secondary Schools and for Colleges, Vol. 1
The comparatively rapid sale of an edition of over two thousand copies of this volume has shown that it has, to some extent at least, filled a vacant place in our educational system. The letters which I have received from many parts of the United Kingdom, and from America, containing words of encouragement and of useful criticism, have also strengthened me in the hope that my labour has not been in vain. It would be impossible to name here all the friends who have thus favoured me; and I take this opportunity of offering them collectively my warmest thanks.
The present edition has been thoroughly revised and corrected. The first chapter has been somewhat simplified; and, partly owing to experience with my own pupils, partly in consequence of some acute criticism sent to me by Mr. Levett of Manchester, the chapters on Indices have been recast, and, I think, greatly improved. In the verification and correction of the results of the exercises I have been indebted in a special degree to the Rev. John Wilson, Mathematical Tutor in Edinburgh.
The only addition of any consequence is a sketch of Horner's Method, inserted in chapter xv. I had originally intended to place this in Part II.; but, acting on a suggestion of Mr. Hayward's, I have now added it to Part I.
