Breslich, Ernst R. – University of Chicago Press (UCP), 1919
This textbook is designed primarily to follow the third book of the author's series of textbooks of secondary mathematics. Therefore, it presupposes the essentials of high-school algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry. It aims to combine the work which is commonly covered in separate courses in college algebra and in analytical…

Latterell, Carmen M. – Rowman & Littlefield Education, 2007
Placement tests are rapidly joining the ranks of high-stakes testing and college freshmen are required to take mathematics placement exams to determine their first mathematics course upon entering college. Unfortunately, these exams tend to place students in a lower-level or remedial course. As a result, additional expenses are incurred, degree…

Kutuzov, B. V. – 1960
This book is a translation of a Russian text. The translation is exact, and the language used by the author has not been brought up to date. The volume is probably most useful as a source of supplementary materials for high school mathematics. It is also useful for teachers to broaden their mathematical background. Chapters included in the text…
