Atwell, Robert King – Parker P. Simmons Co., Inc., 1917
This textbook is based on the idea that there should be an intermediate high school course that will sum up the arithmetic of the grades, and give some insight into the coming mathematical problems of algebra and geometry, especially if this course is linked up with work in mechanical drawing, manual training and elementary surveying. Such a…

Hawkes, Herbert E.; Luby, William A.; Touton, Frank C. – Ginn and Company, 1912
This textbook, designed for at least one and one-half year's work in algebra, is intended for the use of those schools which find a one-book course best adapted to their needs. Experience thoroughly justifies a careful review at the beginning of the third half year's work. As the first twenty-three chapters contain the greater portion of the usual…

Hawkes, Herbert E.; Luby, William A.; Touton, Frank C. – Ginn and Company, 1926
This textbook combines the material of the "New First Course in Algebra" and the "New Second Course in Algebra" in a form convenient for use in courses of more than a year in length. A large amount of review material is to be found at the point where the second year of work commences, since it was felt that there should be an…

Breslich, Ernst R. – Macmillan Company, 1924
Familiarity with modern methods of measurement and skill in doing quantitative thinking are essential. This text offers a "general" course intended for those who continue studies in the senior high school as well as for those who do not continue. It aims to contribute to the pupil's liberal education by preparing him to understand the…

Breslich, Ernst R. – Macmillan Company, 1925
his is the second volume of a series of textbooks on junior high-school mathematics. Like the first volume, it is organized on the principles that were stated in the preface of Book One. Geometry is the basis of the first part of this course. By actual measurement formulas are developed for finding the areas of triangles, quadrilaterals, and the…

Austin, F. E. – Printed for F. E. Austin, 1917
This textbook's main objective is to provide a connecting link between the study of arithmetic and algebra, and to show how to solve problems. It seeks to show practical applications of the theory discussed. While this book was designed originally for the use of those whose educational training had been limited, it has been so remodeled as to…

Young, J. W. A.; Jackson, Lambert L. – D. Appleton and Company, 1913
This volume presents a full high-school course in elementary algebra and contains all the topics given in the standard year-and-a-half courses. It is adapted to the prevailing practice of teaching elementary algebra in two courses--a full-year course followed by a half-year course. The first 23 chapters contain all the work required in any…

Hawkes, Herbert E.; Luby, William A.; Touton, Frank C. – Ginn and Company, 1912
The busy teacher of high-school algebra often finds that limitations of time forbid the actual working out of all the exercises and problems in a text. This teachers' edition is designed to meet such a condition. In its plan it is brief and schematic rather than complete and detailed. Many exercises are so simple that the answers only are given in…

The busy teacher of high-school algebra often finds that limitations of time forbid the actual working out of all the exercises and problems in a text. This teachers' edition is designed to meet such a condition. In its plan it is brief and schematic rather than complete and detailed. Less time should be required to prepare a lesson from this…

Davies, Charles – A.S. Barnes & Company, 1854
This textbook's goal is to train and develop the mind by means of the science of numbers. This work is designed both for primary and advanced classes. The first part is adapted to beginners, while the latter part is peculiarly fitted to give to the more advanced student that thorough mental drilling in the analysis of numbers, which furnishes the…

Davies, Charles – A.S. Barnes & Company, 1854
This textbook's goal is to train and develop the mind by means of the science of numbers. Numbers are the instruments here employed to strengthen the memory, to cultivate the faculty of abstraction, and to sharpen and develop the reasoning powers.

Breslich, Ernst R. – University of Chicago Press (UCP), 1917
This textbook is a third-year high school mathematics course and is the third of the series of textbooks on secondary mathematics. It completes the study of high-school algebra, trigonometry, and solid geometry. The features of this course are: (1) Reviews are carried on at frequent intervals throughout the course; (2) At the end of each chapter…
