Excerpt from Secondary Mathematics, Vol. 1

The authors have had clearly in mind the necessity of first developing a sequence of mathematics that would enable the student to recognize fundamental principles and apply them in the shop, drawing room, and laboratory; and, second to so develop the course that each year's work would be a unit and not depend upon subsequent development for intelligent application.

It has been assumed that the school work-shop, drawing room, and laboratory would furnish opportunity to apply mathematics and that it was not necessary to exhaust every possible application in the mathematics class.

The authors have been aware of the popular demand for a closer union of algebra and geometry, but have recognized that demand only when the union came about naturally and would assist the mathematical sequence desired.

Instructors in the wood shop, pattern shops, machine shop, drawing rooms, chemistry, physics, and electrical laboratories, etc., have furnished examples of mathematical application incident to the respective subjects. Hundreds of problems arising in the industries, have been brought in by the machinists, sheet metal workers, carpenters, electrical workers, pattern makers, draughtsmen, etc., etc., coming to the evening and continuation classes. Complete charts of machine shop work and electrical distribution requirements have been made, including a statement of the required sequence of mathematics. All of this material has been classified, with a view to the mathematical sequence.
