This is the English translation of the first volume of the three-volume-series of Felix Klein's “Elementar-mathematik vom höheren Standpunkte aus" published in 1932. Two serious mistakes of this translation pinpointed in the preface to the 2016 translation: 1. the misleading translation of the term “höher” in that English translation of the 1930's... The term higher is not only a more literal translation of höheren than advanced is, but it also captures better the image Klein had for his work. Advanced can mean higher, but its connotation is more like ‘more developed’ or ‘further along in space and time’. Klein wanted to emphasize that his courses would give prospective teachers a better, more panoramic view of the landscape of mathematics. As noted above, he wanted those teachers to ‘stand above’ their subject. 2. At too many places, the text gives not the intended meaning, but rather erroneous and misleading translations, in particular with regard to mathematics, not only with regard to the general style.
