Sinopsis

Excerpt from Symposium on Mathematics for Engineering Students: Being the Proceedings of the Joint Sessions of the Chicago Section of the American Mathematical Society and Section A, Mathematics, and Section D, Mechanical Science and Engineering of the American Association for the Advancement of Science

A substantial gain would be made if we should urge upon the high schools the desirability of putting the last half year devoted to algebra in the senior year of the high-school curriculum and include in that work the more difficult parts of the subject as well as a general review of the parts presented earlier. This arrangement has become quite common in Illinois, and the best argument that can be presented in favor of such an arrangement is that of the one hundred and ninety cases of failure cited over sixty-three per cent. Had completed the work in the sophomore year and less than eight per cent. Had had any work in algebra in the senior year. Similar records have been kept at Illinois for the past seven or eight years and the data given are typical of the other years.
