Descripci�n

Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book proposes a new system of arithmetic, weight, measure, and coins, arguing that the decimal system, based on 10, is not the most suitable for these purposes. The author, a skilled engineer, inventor, and experienced scientific observer, introduces the tonal system, based on 16, as a more efficient, natural, and practical alternative. The tonal system eliminates the difficulties and complexities of the decimal system, particularly in the areas of binary division and multiplication. It draws inspiration from the binary nature of many measurement and calculation needs, as well as the fact that most people find it easier to divide things into halves, quarters, eighths, or sixteenths. The book explores the history, applications, and potential benefits of the tonal system, providing a detailed exposition of its mathematical principles. It examines the shortcomings of the French metrical system, such as its use of decimal fractions for small dimensions, and demonstrates how the tonal system overcomes these challenges. Through the tonal system, the author argues for a more coherent and simplified approach to measurement, calculation, and the expression of quantities. 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.

Sinopsis

Excerpt from Project of a New System of Arithmetic: Weight, Measure and Coins, Proposed to Be Called the Tonal System, With Sixteen to the Base

The introduction of the decimal system of weight, measure, and coins, is steadily progressing in most parts of the world, but when or wherever it is first proposed, it meets with many natural and reasonable objections. The inconvenience of the decimal arithmetic is well known, and better bases for the same have been frequently proposed, but there has not, that I am aware of, been made any earnest attempt, by proper authority, to introduce a system that would in all its bearings constitute the greatest possible simplicity and efficacy, nor to remove the principal objections to the decimal arithmetic. Questions may arise, first, what are the difficulties and objections? And secondly, how can they be removed and overcome!
