Présentation de l'éditeur

This work has been prepared with the belief that it will be of genuine service to all interested in business education. It is particularly planned for students pursuing a commercial course in business schools, high schools, and normal schools. The constant aim of the authors has been to develop the subject in such a way as to make it possible for the student to realize both the utilitarian and the cultural value of arithmetic. The topics have been selected with great care, and a logical unfolding of the whole subject has been kept in view. An attempt has been made to give problems which appeal to the needs and interests of the business student, and so to grade and group these problems as to make the mind-furnishing and minddeveloping qualities of the subject go hand in hand. Inherited puzzles and manufactured conditions which give a false notion of business have been studiously avoided. The subject as a whole has been modernized, and the exercises made simple, natural, and straightforward. The most important part of the arithmetic, considered from a business standpoint, is that part devoted to the four fundamental processes and fractions. Particular attention has therefore been devoted to the chapters in this part of the book. The need for speed and accuracy is emphasized in many different ways. There. are many speed exercises, and the student is taught to check his work at every step. To make the work more real, many self-checking problems, taken from actual business transactions, are given. Many classes in high schools study business arithmetic before they have taken up the subject of bookkeeping.

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.
