Sinopsis

Excerpt from Algebra: Adapted to the Requirements of the First Stage of the Directory of the Board of Education

Our object has been to provide at a small price a class-book which shall contain a large number of exercises on the simple rules, with fully-worked examples to show the student how to arrange his own work. Explanations of theory are left in a large measure to the teacher, from whom, in the last resort, all explanations have to come: for experienced teachers are well aware that no matter how full and clear the explanations in a book may be, the ordinary boy will either not read them, or, if he does, will misunderstand them in almost every point. Especially is this likely to be the case in the transi tion from the Algebra, which is merely generalised Arithmetic, to the Symbolic Algebra, arising from the gradual extensions given to the terms employed. Some of these extensions have already been antici pated in parts of Arithmetic itself, as in the case of Multiplication of Fractions. No pupil who has had explained to him the proper meaning in Arithmetic.
