RIVINGTON’S MATHEMATICAL SERIES
ALGEBRA. Part I. By J. Hamblin Smith, M.A., of Gonville and Caius College, and late Lecturer at St. Peter’s College, Cambridge. Part I. 12mo. 3s.; without Answers, 2s. 6d.
“The design of this treatise is to explain all that is commonly included in a First Part of Algebra. In the arrangement of the chapters, I have followed the advice of experienced teachers. I have carefully abstained from making extracts from books in common use. The only work to which I am indebted for any material assistance is the Algebra of the late Dean Peacock, which I took as the model for the commencement of my treatise. The examples, progressive and easy, have been selected from university and college examination papers, and from Old English, French, and German works.”—From the Preface.
“It is evident that Mr. Hamblin Smith is a teacher, and has written to meet the special wants of students. He does not carry the student out of his depth by sudden plunges, but leads him gradually onward, never beyond his depth from any desire to hurry forward. The examples appear to be particularly well arranged, so as to afford a means of steady progress. With such books the judicious teacher will have abundant supply of examples and problems for those who need to have each step ensured by familiarity, and he will be able to allow the more rapid learner to travel onward with ease and swiftness. We can confidently recommend Mr. Hamblin Smith’s books. Candidates preparing for Civil Service examinations under the new system of open competition will find these works to be of great value.”—Civil Service Gazette.
