A Review of Algebra
by Romeyn Henry Rivenburg
About the author
Romeyn Henry Rivenburg was an American educator and mathematician best known for A Review of Algebra. The book itself identifies him as head of the Department of Mathematics at The Peddie Institute in Hightstown, New Jersey, showing the teaching background behind his straightforward, student-focused style.
Available genealogical records indicate that he was born in 1874 and died in 1961. Those same records, together with his published work, suggest a life centered on education, academic administration, and helping students prepare for higher study.
His writing has endured because it is practical and uncluttered. Rather than treating algebra as an abstract puzzle, he presented it as something that could be reviewed step by step, making his work a good fit for readers interested in classic educational writing.
