r as complete in itself as possible, so that the teacher may vary the
order of succession at his discretion.

As the name implies, the work is intended for colleges and scientific
schools. The first part is simply a review of the principles of algebra
preceding Quadratic Equations, with just enough examples to illustrate and
enforce these principles. By this brief treatment of the first chapters
sufficient space is allowed, without making the book cumbersome, for a full
discussion of Quadratic Equations, The Binomial Theorem, Choice Chance,
Series, Determinants, and the General Properties of Equations.

Every effort has been made to present in the clearest light each subject
discussed, and to give in matter and methods the best training in algebraic
analysis at present attainable.

This work is intended to serve as an introduction to the study of algebra,
and is adapted to the needs of the seventh or eighth school year. It is
arranged in harmony with the leading courses of study that include algebra
in the curriculum of the grades.

The relation of algebra to arithmetic is emphasized, the subject is treated
topically, and each important point is touched at least twice. The book
begins by showing the uses of algebra, employing such practical
applications as are within the pupil's range of knowledge. When an interest
has thus been awakened in the subject, the fundamental operations are
presented with the simple explanations necessary to make the student
independent of dogmatic rules. Throughout the b
