Excerpt from Advanced Course in Algebra

In preparing the present work, the author has endeavored to meet the needs of colleges and scientific schools of the highest rank.

The development of the subject follows in the main the author's College Algebra; but numerous improvements have been introduced.

Attention is especially invited to the following:

1. The development of the fundamental laws of Algebra for the positive and negative integer, the positive and negative fraction, and zero, in Chaps. I and II.

In the above treatment, the author has followed to a certain extent The Number System of Algebra, by Professor H. B. Fine; who has very courteously permitted this use of his treatise.

2. The development of the principles of equivalence of equations, and systems of equations, both linear and of higher degrees; see 116-123, 182, 233-6, 396, 442, 470, 477, and 478.

3. The prominence given to graphical representation.

In Chap. XIV, the student learns how to obtain the graphs of linear equations with two unknown numbers, and of linear expressions with one unknown number. He also learns how to represent graphically the solution of a system of two linear equations, involving two unknown numbers, and sees how indeterminate and inconsistent systems are represented graphically.

The graphical representation of quadratic expressions, with one unknown number, is taken up in 465; and, in 467, the graphical representation of equal and imaginary roots.
