Synopsis

""The Logic and Utility of Mathematics"" by Charles Davies is a comprehensive guide to the principles and applications of mathematics. The book covers a wide range of topics, including arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. It is designed to help students develop a deep understanding of mathematical concepts and their practical applications.The book begins with an introduction to the logic of mathematics, explaining the principles of deduction and induction. It then moves on to cover the basics of arithmetic, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The author also covers more advanced topics such as fractions, decimals, and percentages.In the section on algebra, the book covers topics such as equations, inequalities, and functions. The author explains how to solve equations and graph functions, as well as how to apply algebraic concepts to real-world problems.The section on geometry covers topics such as lines, angles, triangles, and circles. The author explains how to use geometric principles to solve problems involving area, volume, and other measurements.The section on trigonometry covers the principles of trigonometry, including sine, cosine, and tangent. The author explains how to use trigonometric functions to solve problems involving angles and distances.Finally, the book covers the principles of calculus, including limits, derivatives, and integrals.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following work is not a series of speculations. It is but an analysis of that system of mathematical instruction which has been steadily pursued at theM ilitary Academy over a quarter of a century, and which has given to that institution its celebrity as a school of mathematical science. It is of the essence of that system that a principle be taught before it is applied to practice ;that general principles and general laws be tiiught, for their contemplation is far more improving to the mind than the examination of isolated propositions ;and that when such principles and such laws are fully comprehended, their applications be then taught as consequences or practical results. This view of education led, at an early day, to the union of the French andE nglish systems of mathematics. By this union the exact and beautiful methods of generalization, which distinguish the French school, were blended with the practical methods of theE nglish system. The fruits of this now svstem of instruction have been abun(lant.
