Synopsis
Excerpt from The Philosophy of Arithmetic: Considered as a Branch of Mathematical Science and the Elements of Algebra
Arithmetic is one of the two great branches of Mathematics; and, when scientifically treated, needs not fear a comparison with her more favoured sister. Geometry, either in precision of ideas, in clearness and certainty of demonstration, in practical utility, or in the beautiful deduction of the most interesting truths.
In the order of instruction, Arithmetic ought to take precedence of Geometry; and has, I conceive, a more necessary connection with it, than some are willing to allow. "Number," as Mr. Locke remarks, "is that which the mind makes use of, in measuring "all things that by us are measurable." And I question whether the doctrine of ratio in Geometry has not been needlessly obscured, by a vain attempt to divest it of numerical considerations. Upon this subject I have elsewhere expressed my views more at large.

The Philosophy of Arithmetic (Considered as a Branch of Mathematical Science)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, written in the early 19th century, champions the significance of arithmetic as a foundational element of mathematics and education. It challenges the prevailing notion of arithmetic as a mere mechanical skill, advocating instead for its recognition as a science that fosters intellectual development and critical thinking. The author contends that arithmetic, when taught rationally, surpasses geometry in its capacity to cultivate reasoning abilities. The text emphasizes the historical context of numeral systems, contrasting the efficiency of the Arabic numeral system with the cumbersome Roman and Greek methods. Exploring themes of educational reform and intellectual empowerment, this book underscores the importance of a solid foundation in arithmetic for both men and women. It advocates for the inclusion of mathematics in a liberal education, dispelling the misconception that it is a subject solely for scholars. By delving into the principles of arithmetic and algebra, this book provides timeless insights into the power of numbers and their ability to shape our understanding of the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
