Abstract

If this analysis is correct it has important bearings on the world-wide effort to give concreteness to algebra. Concreteness as Smith and McMurry have pointed out is to be secured by solving problems where they are found, in their home environment. Abstractness is the sure result of taking things out of their home environment and treating them by themselves.
