The Franklin Elementary Algebra Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Franklin Elementary Algebra The method of teaching algebra set forth in this book assumes as a leading principle that algebraic language, like other language. Is best acquired, not through definitions and formal rules, but rather through actual use of the language itself as an instrument of thought. The singular power of algebraic language in analysis and reasoning is under stood only when one has learned to use it in those processes. The earlier a beginner can be taught to use even a little of this language in reasoning, the better; for so may his interest in it be earlier awakened through the conscious exercise of a newr power. Accordingly, the first part of this book is devoted to the solution of easy problems, by the use of simple equations, with one unknown quantity. The few symbols needed are briefly explained in'the first section. The second section is'a carefully arranged collection of problems, interspersed with explanations, as new features in the process of solu tion call for them. Small numbers are used in a por tion of the problems, that the reasoning may with ease be carried on mentally and expressed orally. This oral use of algebraic language is found to be. A very efficient means of instruction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Franklin Elementary Arithmetic The method of the book is indicated by its title. It distinguishes arithmetical operations from the science of arithmetic. While it gives a systematic practice in the former, it leaves the latter to be learned after the mere operations have become familiar by practice. N o attempt is made to establish general principles, but the pupil is led to Operate by imitating processes illustrated by simple examples, generally in the concrete. General statements and formal rules are thus rendered unnecessary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Elementary Algebra: Second Course Tms volume has been prepared as a companion to the first course in elementary algebra, written by the same authors. As its title suggests, the second course is designed for students who have had the equivalent of the work given in the first course. The first course gives one year's work, including the topics now generally taught in the first year of the average high school. The second course reviews the topics treated in the first course, amplifies the treatment in the latter by the addition of new matter where necessary, and extends the course to include all topics required for admission to college.
