Algebra: An elementary textbook. For Higher Classes of Secondary Schools and for Colleges 1

Chrystal's textbook is structured as most textbooks are with each chapter dedicated to a different topic. Topics include generalized arithmetic, fundamental laws of algebra, graphical representations of functions of a single variable, elementary theory of integral functions, irrational functions, ratio and proportion, and many more. The author does a good job of covering all of the basics of algebra and each topic is presented alongside a series of study questions to be completed by students, with correct answers appearing at the back of the book. The book progresses logically through the mathematical principles, with the basic and foundational theories presented first and the more advanced principles appearing near the end of the book. This is a valuable resource for the mathematics learner. Either be it for home study, or in a classroom Introduction to Algebra is an interesting and useful guide.
