Sinopsis

Excerpt from Inventional Geometry: A Series of Problems, Intended to Familiarize the Pupil

A word or two as to using the definitions and questions. Whether they relate to the mensuration of solids, or surfaces, or of lines; whether they belong to common square meas ure, or to duodecimals; or whether they apper tain to the canon of trigonometry; it is not the author's intention that the definitions should be learned by rote; but he recommends that the pupil should give an appropriate illustration of each as a proof that he understands it.

Excerpt from Inventional Geometry: A Series of Problems, Intended to Familiarize the Pupil

This little book, prepared by an experienced mathematical teacher for the use of his own pupils, is based upon the principle that the best and only true education is self-education. It introduces the beginner to geometry by putting him at work on problems which will not only thoroughly familiarize his mind with geometrical ideas, but will exercise, at the same time his inventive and constructive faculties - a kind of mental practice of much importance, but generally neglected in our schools. These problems, which are simple at first and skillfully graded, the pupil is to solve, himself, without assistance. The author prepared no key to the work, considering that any such help in getting through it would defeat its purpose.

As this little book seems well suited to accompany the "Science Primers," that are now appearing from time to time, At has been gotten up in the same form, and is included among the American reprints of that elementary series.

The author of this volume of exercises was the father of Herbert Spencer, the eminent philosophical thinker, and whose valuable work on Education has been translated into nearly all the languages of Europe.
