Advanced Algebra

Portada
Ginn, 1905 - 285 páginas
This book is designed for use in secondary schools and in short college courses. It aims to present in concise but clear form the portions of algebra that are required for entrance to the most exacting colleges and technical schools. The chapters in 'Algebra to Quadratics' are intended for a review of the subject. The rest of the text concentrates on subjects that are most vital, which is why topics that demand a knowledge of calculus for complete comprehension have been omitted.
