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…

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…

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…

This paper discusses methods of sketching various types of algebraic functions from an analysis of the portions of the plane where the curve will be found and where it will not be found. The discussion is limited to rational functions. Methods and techniques presented are applicable to the secondary mathematics curriculum from algebra through…

The usual Euclidean metric definition is modified; new figures and measures are defined and analyzed using this different distance function. (DT)

A geometric construction for a line parallel to a given line through a given point is explained and analyzed. (DT)
