Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth compendium on practical mathematics, divided into three parts: the reduction of decimals, the extraction of roots, and the measurement of surfaces and solids. The first part covers the conversion between vulgar fractions and decimal fractions, as well as the reduction of both to a common denominator. The second part, organized into chapters for each type of root, provides step-by-step instructions for extracting square and cube roots, supported by a chapter on proving the results. The third part of the book focuses on practical applications of mathematics to carpentry, gauging, and land surveying, with sections on the measurement of board feet, the calculation of tonnage, and the determination of areas and volumes. The author includes numerous examples throughout to reinforce each concept, an endeavor facilitated by the fact that the techniques presented had no automated alternatives in the pre-electronic era. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
