Master algebra with a compact Navy‑ready edition A revised, condensed course designed for midshipmen that focuses on practical problem solving in algebra and early calculus concepts.
This edition tightens the presentation to fit the demanding schedule at the naval academy, emphasizing clear methods, reliable computation, and hands‑on practice. It covers core algebra topics, introduces graphing and the idea of functions, and builds skills in reasoning with numbers, surds, and imaginary numbers. The book aims to connect algebra to real‑world applications through worked examples and drill problems.
- Learn essential techniques for linear and quadratic equations, functions, and graphing
- Build comfort with surds, imaginary numbers, and basic complex arithmetic
- Explore graphical representations, slopes, and the derivative in a clear, visual way
- Practice probability and chance through applied examples and problems
Ideal for students beginning higher mathematics, cadets preparing for engineering or navigation courses, and anyone seeking a practical, old‑school approach to algebra that emphasizes accuracy and problem solving.

Excerpt from Practical Algebra (Revised): Prepared for the Use of the Midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy
This revision of the Practical Algebra is designed as the first volume of a series of text-books written to meet the demand for a more condensed course in mathematics, necessitated by the in creased time devoted to the professional subjects of marine and electrical engineering in the last two years at the Naval Academy.
To reach this end, the difficult algebraic proof of some theorems has been omitted, to be taken up later by the more simple and complete methods of the Calculus; and the time thus gained has been utilized for the solution of many problems de signed to illustrate theory as well as to gain the important and necessary drill in numerical accuracy.
