The book is com; it begins at the beginning of the subject; and ment of the earlier parts renders it unnecessary who use it shall have previously studied a more algebra. as been to explain the principles in as concise a manner as was consistent with clearness and racy, and to discuss all the elementary parts of as completely as possible within the limits of a me. Copious illustrations have been given to ork intelligible and interesting to young students; ous explanatory notes have been all along inserted, the pupil against the errors to which experience is liable. Sturm's theorem has been omitted, has no application in the usual course of mathetudy, and because the mental power of the student pent more profitably on other branches of mathe e earlier chapters, some of the most interesting 1 applications of the subject have been introduced. |
