A Review of Algebra

Designed to refresh and consolidate secondary-school algebra, the text presents a concise outline of elementary and intermediate topics, clear definitions, and special rules for operations. It systematically treats factoring, highest common factor and least common multiple, fractions and complex fractions, simultaneous equations, exponents and radicals, square and cube roots, quadratic equations and their theory, simultaneous quadratics, ratio and proportion, progressions, and the binomial theorem. Each section pairs brief theory with graded examples and problem sets, including miscellaneous drills and college-entrance exercises, organized so a class can complete the essentials in a short review course with regular brief lessons.
