Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Intellectual A rithmetic. This work is designed to present a thorough analysis of the science of numbers, and to form a complete course of mental arithmetic. I have aimed to make it accessible to young pupils by the simplicity and -gradation of its methods, and to adapt it to the wants of advanced students by a scientific arrangement and logical connection, in all the higher processes of arithmetical analysis. Practical A rithmetic. Great pains have been taken, in the preparation of this book, to combine theory and practice; to explain and illustrate principles, and to apply them to the common business transactions of life to make it emphatically a practical work. The student is required to demonstrate every principle laid down, by a course of mental reasoning, before deducing a proposition, or making a practical application of a rule to examples. He is required to fix and apprehend the unit or base of all numbers, whether integral or fractional to reason with constant reference to this base, and thus make it the key to the solution of all arithmetical questions. It is hoped, that the language used in the statement of principles, in the definition of terms, and in the explanation of methods, will be found to be clear, exact, brief, and comprehensive. University A rithmetic. This work is designed to answer another object. Here, the entire subject is treated as a science. The pupil is supposed to be familiar with the simple operations in the four ground rules, and with the first principles of fractions, these being now taught to small children, either orally or from elementary treatises. This being premised, the language of figures, which are the representatives of numbers, is carefully taught, and the different significations of which the figures themselves are susceptible, depending on the manner in which they are written, are fully explained.
