A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A rithmetic, it is a part of Geometry, and for a good understanding of it, geometrical science must be directly consulted. So it is with many other parts of A rithmetic, the science is elsewhere ;and to have a scientific comprehension of many parts of common A rithmetic, we must go to general A rithmetic, which is emphatically A lgebra; and in preparing this work, we have given constant attention to this branch of the subject, as may be seen in our treatment of fractious, proportion, progression, the roots, fellowship, and interest.
