ALGEBRA FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS
By Harley R. Willard '99, and Noah R. Bryan, Scott, Foresman and Company, 1936. pp. vii + 383. $2.00.
This book, one of whose authors is a Dartmouth alumnus, is more than just another textbook. True it covers all the material one could desire for any of the usual courses in algebra of college grade, from the simplest beginnings up through the theory of equations, determinants, partial fractions, infinite series, and the foundations of the theory of investment. It is interestingly \and capably written. It has frequent sets of problems, a list of answers, and an index.
However, the reviewer feels that the reader of this magazine will be most interested in the suggestion that this book is an excellent reference work for one who wishes to keep his algebra up to par, or who frequently finds it desirable to refer to formulas or principles which have escaped his memory through disuse. Such a Person will find this work handy, and will enjoy particularly its appearance and typography, both inside and out, which are so refreshingly unlike those of the usual algebra text.
