Excerpt from An Advanced Arithmetic: Theoretical and Practical
The author feels assured that the simple and thorough manner in which the subjects of Fractions, Percentage and Proportion are treated will meet the approval of teachers, as a thorough knowledge of these subjects is essential in all the most important applications of Arithmetic. The subjects of Averages, Square and Cube Roots, and Denominate Numbers, including the Metric System, have also received that broad and thorough consideration commensurate with their importance.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book constitutes a radical reappraisal of ancient Greek mathematics, primarily focusing on higher arithmetic. By exploring the subject within its proper historical context, the author uncovers the true nature of the discipline and its central importance in ancient Greek thought. The author reveals that the concept of fractions was not fully understood by ancient Greek mathematicians and the actual role they played was vastly different from the one attributed to them. Moreover, the book argues that Euclidean geometry originated as a result of these deficiencies and explores how it can be viewed as an extension of Pythagorean number theory. The author thus provides a new perspective on the development of Greek mathematics and its influence on Western thought.
