HAWKES, Professor of Mathematics in Columbia University, WILLIAM A. LUBY, Head of the Department of Mathematics, Junior College of Kansas City, and FRANK C. TOUTON, State Supervisor of High Schools, Madison, Wis. FIRST COURSE IN ALGEBRA (Revised Edition) 12mo, cloth, 302 pages, illustrated SECOND COURSE IN ALGEBRA (Revised Edition) 12m0, cloth, viii+277 pages, illustrated COMPLETE SCHOOL ALGEBRA (Revised Edition) 12mo, cloth, ix + 507 pages, illustrated HE Hawkes, Luby, and Touton Algebras offer a fresh treat teaching algebra with what is most valuable in recent developments. The authors' unhackneyed and vital manner of presenting the subject makes a sure appeal to the interest of the student, while their genuine respect for mathematical thoroughness and accuracy gives the teacher confidence in their work. Among the distinctive features of these algebras are the correlation of algebra with arithmetic, geometry, and physics; the liberal use of illustrative material, such as brief biographical sketches of the mathematicians who have contributed materially to the science; early and extended work with graphs; and the introduction of numerous "thinkable" problems. Prominence is given the equation throughout, and the habit of checking results is constantly encouraged. Thoroughness is assured by frequent short reviews. The aim has been to treat in a clear, practical, and attractive manner those topics selected as necessary for the best secondary schools. The authors have sought to prepare a text that will lead the student to think clearly as well as to acquire the necessary facility on the technical side of algebra. The books offer a course readily adaptable to the varying conditions in different schools - the "Complete School Algebra " comprising a one-book course with material sufficient for at least one and one-half year's work, and the "First Course" and "Second Course" providing the same material, but slightly expanded, in a two-book course.
