内容简介
《美国中学代数(套装上下册)》内容简介：We are honored and happy to bring this set of math textbooks by Joseph Ray. These popular books sold more than any other arithmetic in America, in fact over 120 million copies and are still used in modern American schools and families. As you can see, this set of textbooks is organized in an orderly manner around the discipline of arithmetic itself.
Ray emphasized critical thinking in his classroom. He believed that his students needed to learn how to apply what they learned to real-life situations. Rather than giving his pupils simple problems to solve, he preferred word problems. Students can increase their reading comprehension skills, and learn to think.
The science of Algebra, properly taught, stands among the first of those studies essential to both the great objects of education. In a course of instruction properly arranged, it naturally follows Arithmetic, and should be taught immediately after it. The pupil should acquire both a practical and theoretical knowledge of the subject While every page is the result of the author's own reflection, and the experience of many years in the school-room. 
编辑推荐
《美国中学代数(套装上下册)》编辑推荐：这套《美国数学》系列与麦加菲编写的《美国语文读本》，应该说对美国教育产生了很大影响。两套教材自19世纪以来，被10000多所学校使用，累计销量分别高达1.22亿册，至今仍作为“家庭学校”（Homeschooling）的推荐教材。雷伊数学课本，是一套系统完整的中小学数学教材，从简单的算术开始，到高级的代数与解析几何。在近50年里，雷伊数学课本一直被作为美国标准数学教材，10000多所学校采用,超过一亿的美国孩子用此套数学教材接受教育。直到，现在仍作为学生学习和备考AST的参考用书。
对中国学生来说，《美国中学代数(套装上下册)》能帮助学生用英语学习数学，既提高他们的英语水平，也帮助他们将来更好地适应西方学科考试。 
作者简介
约瑟夫·雷伊
约瑟夫·雷伊教授于1807年出生于美国弗吉尼亚俄亥俄县，小时在地方学校接受教育，学业优秀。16岁时，他就开始步入其教师生涯，1825年到富兰克林学院求学，跟随乔尔·马丁教授学习医学。1828年毕业后进入俄亥俄医学院学习，1831年毕业。大学毕业后，他在辛辛那提的伍德沃德中学找了份当教师的工作，开始教数学。1836年，俄亥俄司法当局准许伍德沃德中学由高中升格为辛辛那提伍德学院，雷伊成为该学院的一名教授。1851年，该校以变为一所公立高中，雷伊一直在此担任校长，直至去世。
雷伊最杰出的贡献是他编写的系列数学教材，并以此闻名。这套数学课本与他在伍德学院的同事麦加菲编写的《美国语文读本》，一同被作为美国学校的语文和数学教材，近50年内，美国上万学校使用这两套教材，累计销量均超过1.22亿册，对美国教育产生了极大影响。
雷伊教授对俄亥俄州的教师职业培训也发挥了很大作用，他帮助建立西部文化中心与职业教师学院，将好的教学技术与经验传授给老师。他加入俄亥俄州教师协会成员，并于1853年任其会长，此外还担任《俄亥俄教育》杂志社的副总编。
