Abstract Algebra

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  03 November 2016

Extract

The algebra taught at present in schools and colleges and discussed in recent reports is essentially that of Euler and Chrystal as regards both content and method. Must this tradition continue? It is hoped that this short note will suggest the contrary and indicate the possibility of incorporating the ideas and methods of modern algebra in elementary teaching. To this end attention will be drawn to some of the simpler concepts of the subject.
