THE COMPLETE ALGEBRA: EMBRACING SIMPLE AND QUADRATIC EQUATIONS, PROPORTION AND EQUATIONS. AND A CHAPTER ON THE BUSINESS RULES OF ARITHMETIC DESIGNED TO BE SUFFICIENTLY ELEMENTARY FOR BEGINNERS, AND SUFFICIENTLY BY EDWARD OLNEY, Professor of Mathematics in the University of Michigan. NEW YORK: SHELDON & COMPANY, 8 MURRAY STREET. Introduction to Algebra, Complete Algebra, Key to Complete Algebra, Key to University Algebra, (Separate.) Electrotyped by SMITH & MCDOUGAL, 82 Beekman St., N. Y. PUBLISHERS' NOTICE. STODDARD'S Series of Arithmetics have been before the public about twenty years, and during that period of time have won a commanding position among text-books throughout the country. No other American school book has obtained such a wide popularity among good teachers in the United States and British Provinces, as Stoddard's Intellectual Arithmetic, which (excepting Colburn's) was the first book published upon this subject. Professor Stoddard's work was a great advance beyond that of Colburn's, and though several others have since appeared, it is everywhere acknowledged to be the most suitable for the wants of good schools. It has been the cherished object of Professor Stoddard and his publishers to add to this series of Arithmetics, when completed, a full course of Higher Mathematics; but feeble health has, for some years, prevented him from even seriously entering on the task of their preparation, and has finally compelled its abandonment on the part of Professor Stoddard. Under these circumstances, the publishers have arranged with the writer of this volume to prepare a full course of Higher Mathematics to complete the Stoddard Series. NEW YORK, January, 1870. |
