Excerpt from Secondary-School Mathematics, Vol. 2This volume continues the work of Book I and completes the required work in most four-year high schools, namely, algebra through quadratic equations, and all of plane geometry. In addition it trains the pupil in the use of logarithms and trigonometry of the right triangle. These last two topics are taught as a direct consequence of the theory of exponents and of ratios in similar right triangles.With algebra through proportion and most of straight line geometry at the student's command, this book offers from the very beginning the greatest opportunities for the introduction of interesting problems which are impossible in the old plan of keeping algebra and geometry separate.The applied problems, involving a knowledge of technical terms in shop or in the work of household arts, are so arranged that their introduction is at the discretion of the teacher, this of course depending largely on the type of school in which the text is being used.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
