About this book :-
"Matriculation Algebra" by Nibaran Chandra Das Gupta is a classic "algebra textbook" designed for secondary school students preparing for matriculation or final school examinations. It introduces algebra in a structured, step-by-step manner, bridging "arithmetic" and algebra. The book emphasizes clarity, logical progression, and practical problem-solving, making it suitable for classroom learning as well as "self-study". The textbook covers fundamental topics including "equations", identities, fractions, involution (powers and roots), surds, and manipulation of algebraic expressions. It begins with basic arithmetic operations and gradually advances to more complex algebraic concepts. Each topic is supplemented with examples and exercises to reinforce understanding and build confidence. The progressive approach ensures students develop strong foundational skills while preparing for examinations. Historically, "Matriculation Algebra" reflects early 20th-century "mathematics education" practices in India under the British colonial system. Its classical style, comprehensive coverage, and focus on methodical learning make it a valuable resource for students and educators alike. The book remains an insightful guide for anyone seeking to understand traditional "algebra learning" methods and foundational techniques that shaped secondary mathematics education.
