This book contains the work usually taught in the first year of our secondary courses. Schools having brief courses may omit such topics as they do not need. For example, Chapters XVII and XVIII. Schools having standard courses will find all of the required subjects. A companion book called theS econd Course has been prepared forS econd Year Work. It is the aim of the volume to unite those proposals of the present widespread movement for the better teaching of A lgebra, which have found general approval, with theE lementary Algebra that has successfully undergone the test of many years use in the classroom. The essentials of the subject, as presented in the main text, are in harmony with the best thought of the times, and are based upon a minimum of mathematical theory and a fuller recognition of the utility of the subject. Supplementary work has been added to many of the chapters. This consists of additional exercises upon which the teacher may draw and of additional topics required in the maximum courses. Throughout the treatment the authors have constantly kept in mind both the logical value and the practical utility of the subject. The logical value of Algebra is of prime importance; hence, the proofs of processes are based upon reasons both correct and satisfying to the mind of the pupil. On the other hand, subtle distinctions and arguments savoring of higher mathematical methods without their true rigor have been avoided. The utility of Algebra is given the emphasis which it so richly deserves.
