Excerpt from Introduction to Higher Algebra AN American student approaching the higher parts of mathe maties usually finds himself unfamiliar with most of the main facts of algebra, to say nothing of their proofs. Thus he has only a rudimentary knowledge of systems of linear equations, and he knows next to nothing about the subject of quadratic forms. Students in this condition, if they receive any algebraic instruction at all, are usually plunged into the detailed study of some special branch of algebra, such as the theory of equations or the theory of invariants, where their lack of real mastery of algebraic principles makes it almost inevitable that the work done should degenerate to the level of purely formal manipulations. It is the object of the present book to introduce the student to higher algebra in such a way that he shall, on the, one hand, learn what is meant by a proof in algebra and acquaint himself with the proofs of the most fundamental facts, and, on the other, become familiar with many important results of algebra which are new to him.
