This thesis is the partial product of a project begun in an effort to build a unified course in advanced high school mathematics beyond the first two years of elementary study. It is a course intended for the academic student who is preparing for the fields of engineering, the sciences, or pure mathematics. It is a course aimed at a unification and greater correlation of the various courses and topics, and at an association on the various mathematical processes involved in the various fields. It is also a course aimed at mastery of mathematics and of its operations as a whole, as a unity not as separate compartments. Furthermore, it is a course which aims to give individual instruction in a classroom situation and to meet as nearly as possible the individual needs and abilities of the students in the class. For the present, attention has been focused upon the problem of unification of the units and topics as presented in the traditional courses in advanced high school mathematics - intermediate algebra, trigonometry, and solid geometry.
