McGraw-Hill Education traces its history back to 1888 when James H. McGraw, co-founder of the company, purchased the American Journal of Railway Appliances. He continued to add further publications, eventually establishing The McGraw Publishing Company in 1899. His co-founder, John A. Hill, had also produced several technical and trade publications and in 1902 formed his own business, The Hill Publishing Company.
In 1909 both men agreed upon an alliance and combined the book departments of their publishing companies into The McGraw-Hill Book Company. John Hill served as President, with James McGraw as Vice-President. 1917 saw the merger of the remaining parts of each business into The McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, Inc.

For the most part this is an excellent Algebra II text. The explanations were clear and textbook examples explained what students needed to know to demonstrate competency of the subject. Occasionally I had to augment a topic with YouTube videos which provided a different perspective or helped to convey what the text poorly explained. But the need for augmentation was infrequent. Algebra II is a complex subject (example: Cramer’s Rule); this textbook helped structure daily lesson plans and made learning much easier for the students.
