A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

General Plan. The development of a more practical type of education in this country has now reached such a stage as to demand a series of textbooks that shall fully meet this need as to content and that shall be prepared with the view to their usability in the classroom. In arranging to meet this demand the authors have made a careful survey of both the general and the vocational schools in the leading cities in the United States, and have come to the conclusion that the most usable type of book should be based upon the assumption that the student has had a good course in elementary arithmetic, including the simple graph, but is in need of a brief review of the fundamental operations. Upon this assumption they have proceeded to build. The present book contains those basic principles which the student must know, whatever special vocation he is to follow. He may go into machine work of one kind or another, into electrical work, into carpentry, into cabinetwork, into the clothing industry, or into printing, but in any case he will need most of the fundamental work which is set forth in this book. This work consists of a review of such topics as the four fundamental operations with integers and fractions, the practical use of percentage, the applications of proportion, the elements of mensuration, the use of the formula and the equation, the finding of areas by plotting on squared paper, the finding of roots, and the simplest elements of trigonometry. The arrangement of the pages, with the exercises facing the blueprints, will be found especially convenient and will contribute to the general ajjpearance of reality of the work. As to the exercises themselves, they have been carefully chosen from practical fields.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
