Excerpt from Algebra: First Course
Now in applying the operations of arithmetic to actual problems, we usually deal with objects of a definite sort. We say 3 apples, 3 seconds, 3 feet, 3 quarts, and so on. For example, if we put 3 oranges and 4 apples into a basket, the basket contains 7 Objects, but neither 7 oranges nor 7 apples. That is, if the number which results from the addition of several others is to represent so many Objects Of a certain kind, then all the numbers which are added must represent objects of the same kind.

Without this the book could have been made considerably smaller, but it was felt that the addition to the number of pages would be more than compensated by the gain in clearness and fullness of explanation. The time and effort required to cover the year's work will be less than it would be with a more compact and concentrated form of presentation.
The exercises and problems are drawn largely from the student's own experience, and include many that are in the nature of experiments, to be performed by the student individually, or with the cooperation of the class. It is urged that most of these experiments be actually performed, because of the discussion and interest which comes from such concrete applications.
In using the book for the first time there will be perhaps some tendency on the part of the teacher to omit features which at first sight may seem unusual. Such omissions might easily detract materially from the force and usefulness of the text, and it is strongly urged that they be reduced to a minimum.
For those who wish to make a still closer correlation with Geometry, references to that subject (Part II of this series) are given, which outline in a general way a two years' course in Mathematics. For this purpose, if the teacher desires it, the two parts, Algebra and Geometry, may be had bound in one volume. This will be especially advantageous in schools where free text-books are furnished, because the work of the first year is then always at hand for reference during the second year.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive introduction to algebra, providing a clear and structured approach to the fundamental concepts and techniques. It begins by reviewing the four basic arithmetic operations and then introduces the use of letters to represent numbers, expanding into various ways to use algebraic expressions and tackle equations. Through practical examples and exercises, the author builds a solid understanding of algebraic principles, allowing readers to advance from simple equations to more complex problems involving polynomials and fractions. The text also covers geometric concepts, functions, and the representation of quantities on a number line, fostering a blended learning experience. Additionally, the book equips readers with tools for solving real-world problems, demonstrating how algebraic principles can be applied to daily life. This book is an invaluable resource for students seeking to build a strong foundation in algebra and prepare for future studies in mathematics and related fields.
