Excerpt from General Mathematics: Book TwoWhile the emphasis in the first book was placed largely upon algebra, the emphasis here is placed principally upon geometry. At the same time, however, the earlier work in arithmetic, algebra, and trigonometry is kept before the stu dent by means of reviews and applications, and enough new material is introduced to give to the student that knowledge of the fundamentals of these subjects which he should have at the end of his second year's work.The fundamental laws and operations of arithmetic are kept before the student by their uses in connection with the develop ment of formulas, new topics in algebra, and applied problems.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
