Revised edition. — Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1936. — 556 p.
Experience with the earlier edition indicates that the major objectives of the course presented here are attainable, both for non-specialist students and for those who are to pursue mathematics further. In fact, the latter can under this unified plan cover in two years more advanced work than is customary under the plan of studying trigonometry, college algebra, analytic geometry, and calculus separately.
Here, as in the earlier edition, the guiding principle in the arrangement of material, subject to the obvious requirement of orderly development, is to introduce topics where most closely related. This develops appreciation of interrelations, and facility in applying different subjects jointly. Also it gives the topics individually a more vital significance. The present edition, however, presents a reorganization which makes the arrangement much more flexible, so that even sweeping changes in order can be effected smoothly if needed.
