Présentation de l'éditeur

This Arithmetic has been prepared for the use of pupils inH igh Schools and Collegiate I nstitutes, and also for those in the higher forms of Public Schools. It is intended to be not merely a collection of problems, but also a series of graded questions in which the whole theory of arithmetic is developed. The work is largely a transcript of notes on which we have based our practical teaching for some years. Many of the original problems and methods of solution will be recognized by our former students. AG lossary ofT erms and Tables has been introduced which, though not lengthy, will be found to include all necessary reference for ordinary arithmetical teaching. The table of Powers will be of use in connection with the chapters on Compound Interest and Annuities ;it will also apprise pupils of the existence of tables for facilitating the longer computations. The treatment of Vulgar and Decimal Fractions introduces the pupil to a series of propositions of close mathematical reasoning, with the results of which he is already more or less familiar. The Roots of Numbers and Mensuration are presented in a novel manner, as far as text books are concerned ;the methods here developed have been successfully tested in our classes. We have thought it advisable to introduce a special collection of simple problems on theM etric System.
