Excerpt from Elements of Arithmetic
I have added new chapters in this Edition particularly on the Square Root, Proportion, and Permutations and Combinations, with many occasional articles, principally intended to give such ideas on the subject of Algebra as a young arithmetical student may be able, with a little assistance, to comprehend. I have also added six or seven Examples to each Rule, accompanied by the answers. These would be enough for any single pupil, but may not be considered sufficient for a school. To obviate this objection, I proceed to collect some expeditious modes of forming questions, of which the answers shall be readily known. I am aware that the publication of these methods, in a preface equally open to the master and the learner, is something like calling the enemy to council; nevertheless, as the following abbreviations all contain some mathematical principle, and as some facility of computation will be necessary even to make use of them, the master may depend upon it that a pupil who discovers and applies the way to make the answer to any one rule, is fit to pass on to the next.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, originally published in the mid-19th century, delves into the foundational principles of arithmetic, guiding readers through the essential concepts of numeration, addition, subtraction, and multiplication. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying logic behind these operations, rather than simply memorizing rules. Set against the backdrop of a shifting educational landscape where rote learning was giving way to a more rational approach, this book advocates for a deeper comprehension of mathematical processes. It meticulously explores various number systems, including decimal and non-decimal representations, shedding light on the historical evolution of counting methods. The book delves into thought-provoking discussions on abstract numbers, the concept of units, and the general properties that govern numerical relationships. It underscores the significance of a solid arithmetic foundation for further mathematical exploration and its application in daily life. Through clear explanations and practical exercises, this work empowers readers to develop a more profound and meaningful understanding of the fundamental building blocks of mathematics.
