Excerpt from The Franklin Elementary Algebra
The method of teaching algebra set forth in this book assumes as a leading principle that algebraic language, like other language. Is best acquired, not through definitions and formal rules, but rather through actual use of the language itself as an instrument of thought. The singular power of algebraic language in analysis and reasoning is under stood only when one has learned to use it in those processes. The earlier a beginner can be taught to use even a little of this language in reasoning, the better; for so may his interest in it be earlier awakened through the conscious exercise of a newr power.
Accordingly, the first part of this book is devoted to the solution of easy problems, by the use of simple equations, with one unknown quantity. The few symbols needed are briefly explained in'the first section. The second section is'a carefully arranged collection of problems, interspersed with explanations, as new features in the process of solu tion call for them. Small numbers are used in a por tion of the problems, that the reasoning may with ease be carried on mentally and expressed orally. This oral use of algebraic language is found to be. A very efficient means of instruction.
