Excerpt from First Book in General MathematicsThe pedagogical remedy for such a state of affairs may be summed up in the words practical use or relation to life. Interest can be aroused and maintained only when there is a tangible relation between the subject matter studied and the out-of-school life of the student. This idea is not new, but has been applied in various forms at different times. In the Colebrook School, for example, in the northern part of New Hampshire, where the school is being made over to fit the needs of the community, the course in geometry has been substituted by a course in practical mathematics which includes: a - the algebra of the equation, b - the application of geometry to practical measurements, c - the elementary principles of surveying.Professor Parker, in his book on High School Methods, has the following to say regarding high-school mathematics: The order of topics in a subject Should be decided by the needs, capacities and interests of high-school students, not by the nature of the subject itself, nor the interests of a specialist in the subject. In high-school mathematics this standard will require the inclusion of many practical prob lems and the mixing of the easier topics of algebra and geometry, and some arithmetic, in the first year.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
