It is a progressive study, beginning with a few simple rules and advancing until the student is using a set of complicated theorems based upon the first rules. The students gain the habits of cle-ar thinking, and the ap- plication of information to their prob- lems as well as mathematical ability. ,XJ LPH For those students wishing to de- velop their comprehension in mathe- matics, algebra is the first step to this goal. By solving equations and finding unknown quantities, a student leams to think for himself and also develops a sense of security through his self- obtained knowledge.
