views of another man are helpful, the teacher being able often to make clear things not plain from a study of the text book. The self-tutored man has no teacher, so for additional explanation he should buy "Algebra Self Taught," by Paget Higgs (60 cents). This is rather an old book, containing no examples to be worked out, the writer confining himself solely to the philosophy of mathematics. Study Howe thoroughly, working out all the examples, and use Higgs for reference and collateral reading. When Howe is completed, study those subjects in Higgs which Howe does not treat so fully.
At this point the courses separate. Students studying civil engineering or architecture should follow with "Elementary Practical Mathematics," by M. T. Ormsby ($2.25).
Students in mechanical engineering should study "Practical Calculations for Engineers," by Larard and Golding ($2.00), following with "A Primer of the Calculus," by E. Sherman Gould (50 cents).
Students in electrical engineering should study "An Introduction to Practical Mathematics," by F. M. Saxelby (60 cents), and then take, by the same author, "A Course in Practical Mathematics" ($2.25).
The student should now be able to read intelligently and enjoy any mathematical book published. An interesting book for reference and home study
