This is part two of a two-part SMSG mathematics text for junior high school students. Key ideas emphasized are structure of arithmetic from an algebraic viewpoint, the real number system as a progressing development, and metric and non-metric relations in geometry. Chapter topics include the rational number system; parallels, parallelograms,…

Owsley, Fran, Ed. – 1974
This course is part of an engineering certification program for men inspecting construction projects. It presumes some high school training in mathematics and science. The course begins with examples showing the importance of mathematics on the job. Following that is a section on algebra, one on geometry, and one on trigonometry. (KM)
