Description:Excerpt from College Algebra The shortening of the time given to algebra in the secondary school, together with the great extension of the elective system and the consequent placing of mathematics in competition with a score of new subjects, has made some modification of the traditional college algebra absolutely necessary. The first important change has been to put the college algebra upon a more elementary basis. Whether we like it or not, we are bound to recognize the fact that a large number of freshmen come to us with a single year of algebra, and that year so far in the past that it is of little help to the college teacher. The second change is one which the writer believes will in the end prove to be of great advantage, not only to algebra, but to mathematics in general. The college teacher has been obliged to exert every effort to make his work of interest to his students. To this end the subject has been made more concrete, applications to the affairs of everyday life have been emphasized, processes have been made more direct, and the road to the mathematics of the sophomore year has been shortened. In the following pages I have tried to introduce enough elementary material to meet the needs of students who have had the minimum training of the secondary schools, and at the same time I have tried to recognize the growth in mental capacity that normally takes place between the first year of the high school and the freshman year of the college. I have tried to emphasize the immediately practical side of algebra by drawing freely upon geometry, physics, the theory of investment, and other branches of pure and applied science for illustrative examples.
