A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

I hpfepaiing this edition, the whole work has been carefully revised, and many of the subjects re-written and modified, with a view to make them more clearly comprehended by the pupil. Having explained fully, in theE lkmkntary A szthmbtzC i the subjects of Duodecimals and A lligation, we have omitted them ia the present edition. We have excluded the chapter on Permutations, Cdmhiiiations, and Variations, to make room for what we deemed matter of more importance. We have also placed the chapters on the Progressions after Evolution, because several cases undtr the Progressions are wrought by the aid of Evolution. Under the first chapter, we have added some new things concerning Prime Numbers, and have explained the use of Esatosthinks Sieve in finding these numbers. After Continued Fractions, we have added Lambert sM ethod of De-compounding Vulgar Fractions. We have given a new rule for theE quation of Payments, under the subject of Discount. This rule is deduced from considering the equivaleta present vabtea. By this method, we discover that the usual rule is erroneous, if we consider the present value of the several debts. We have added the answers to all the questions; and, where we thought the operations too difficult, we have either given the whole work, or so much as to leave nothing to perplex the beginner. In all these modifications we have been guided, not only by our own practical experice in using the book, but by the many kind suggestions which have been received from distinguished teachers. GEO R.
