Abstract
WE cannot obtain a complete view of the state of mathematical studies in a country merely by examining the text-books and treatises which are in vogue there; but we do, in this way, gain a good deal of information about the aims and standards of its mathematical teachers. Dr. Boyd' treatise illustrates very well the qualities and defects of American methods, and suggests a few general remarks, as well as particular criticisms, which may not be out of place.
College Algebra.
