Karpinski, Louis Charles, and others.

510 K136 "Includes the essential and vital features of the work commonly covered in the past in separate courses in college algebra, trigonometry, and analytical geometry. The fundamental idea of the development is to emphasize the fact that mathematics cannot be artificially divided into compartments with separate labels, as we have been in the habit of doing, and to show the essential unity and harmony and interplay between the two great fields into which mathematics may properly be divided; viz., analysis and geometry." Preface.

"Only in a secondary manner does this book deal with the art of teaching; its value lies in its compact summing-up of facts and principles, its 'sampling' of methods and devices in organizing material for purposes of instruction, all of which, when handled by a live teacher of teachers, will be a constant stimulus to the members of the class to draw upon their own stores of knowledge and experience, to focus their thinking upon the problems at hand, and to justify their solutions by clear reasoning on adequate data, rather than by dogmatism."
