Sinossi
Excerpt from College Algebra
Without trying to teach physics or engineering, many problems are introduced in which the principles of algebra are applied to physical problems, but no technical knowledge is assumed on the part of the student. Rules for the mechanical guidance of stu dents in solving problems have been used sparingly.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is designed for use as a textbook for the freshman year of college and technical schools. Special attention is given to the following features: a. The method of reviewing the algebra of the secondary schools. b. The selection and omission of material. c. The explicit statement of assumptions upon which the proofs are based. d. The application of algebraic methods to physical problems. The author takes great care to point out just what is proved and what is assumed in so far as a first-year student can be expected to appreciate the necessity of assumptions. Without trying to teach physics or engineering, many problems are introduced in which the principles of algebra are applied to physical problems, but no technical knowledge is assumed on the part of the student. Rules for the mechanical guidance of students in solving problems have been used sparingly. The extent to which algebra should be taught from the historical standpoint is very controversial and the author makes no effort to enter the controversy. This book is suitable for use in classes where a considerable period of time elapses between the completion of the high school algebra and the beginning of college mathematics. The review of the secondary school algebra is written for these students. This part of the book is, however, more than a hasty review. While the student is reviewing a first course, he is at the same time making a distinct advance by seeing the subject-matter from new view points, which his added maturity enables him to appreciate. For example, the functional notation, graphs, and determinants are introduced and used to advantage in the review. The extensions of the number concept receive fuller treatment than is usual in a college algebra. The various classes of numbers from positive integers to complex numbers are treated in the order in which they are demanded by the equation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
