Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Numbers Applied: A Complete Arithmetic

In its preparation the author has kept steadily in view these two thoughts: (1) That words are useless in the ratio that they fail to call up in the mind vivid images of the things signified. Hence the aim to vitalize the relation of words and things by the aid of the best practicable illustra tions at every point; and (2) That, to the learner, the Operations of arith metic are apt to be but manipulations of figures after prescribed models, unless he realizes the fact that they are representative of processes that may be applied to material objects.

The book is intended to be put into the hands of the learner as soon as he has completed a course in primary arithmetic but it would be well for him to begin the study of it with the first chapter, that he may get a better technical knowledge of the fundamental rules and their relations to each other, and that he may become rapid and reliable in computations involving integers before he takes up the more complicated subject of fractions.
