RADICALS FOR THE FRESHMAN

The course in radicals, here outlined, does not pretend to offer anything new or startling. It merely suggests one way in which the freshman may be led to walk with some degree of confidence through a subject which is apt to seem to him a blind and useless maze of algebraic trickery. The work required of him is limited to what may be necessary in solving and testing equations of the quadratic form, in solving simple radical equations, and in evaluating formulæ.
