Sinopsis
Excerpt from First Mnemonical Lessons in Geometry, Algebra, and Trigonometry
Concerning Grey's Memoria Technica there are two Opinions; one, of those who in their student-days had the good fortune to have the book placed in their hands; and another, of those who have learned (and forgotten?) their chronology, &0. Without it. I am sometimes amused by the readiness Of the latter division of persons to pro nounce judgment on the philosophic Old Doctor, with the air of men who have well considered the matter. More than one good scholar and good teacher do I know, who dispose of him coolly thus: the difference between studying and not studying Grey's book is this, that, in the latter case, you have certain things to learn and remember, and, in the former, you have the same things to learn, and a mass of frightful jargon besides.'

Excerpt from First Mnemonical Lessons in Geometry, Algebra, and Trigonometry
It is reckoned a small ambition which is content to write a book of rudiments; and a wise man will hardly do this, unless he knows beforehand, from his fame or scholastic influence, that the profit of the work will compensate its lack of honour. With this reflection, I have 'kept my peace' above 'ten years;' and, finally, mis-doubting the profit which my obscurity might command, I have saved my paternal feelings, by presenting this little book to the publisher as an addition to his cheap series of elementary mathematics. To this I was moved by my admiration of the remarkable zeal and spirit displayed by him for the diffusion of scientific knowledge. While it is hoped, that these pages will be easily understood by readers who arc familiar with arithmetic of whole numbers and fractions, and with the extraction of the square root, it is evident, from the arrangement and treatment of the topics, and particularly from the paucity of examples, that this little work is intended not as a substitute, but as a companion, for other rudimentary treatises. If the experience of others in tuition agrees with my own, I may perhaps look to reap a little praise - not mathematical, on ground like this, but simply didactical - the praise of teaching well, of which I confess myself covetous.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introductory guide to geometry, algebra, and trigonometry through the lens of the Cartesian plane. The author presents a conversational-style series of lessons which make the content accessible to a wide range of readers. Developed in the late 17th century, Descartes' plane is a coordinate system that relies on a grid of numbers to locate points on a plane and is one of the foundations of modern mathematics, with far-reaching applications in science and engineering. Using intuitive language, this book provides a deep dive into the possibilities of this system, with the learning made more accessible through a range of visual guides and memorable phonic patterns. The author's focus on the origins of equations as applied to the Cartesian plane gives readers a unique perspective from which to understand advanced mathematical concepts. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330374467_0
