Excerpt from A Course of Mathematics, Vol. 1 of 3: Composed for the Use of the Royal Military Academy, by Order of His Lordship the Master General of the Ordnance

Though the several parts of this course of mathematics are ranged in the order naturally required by such elements, yet students may omit any of the particulars that may be thought the least necessary to their several purposes; or they may study and learn various parts in a difi'erent order from their present arrangement in the book, at the discretion of the tutor. So, for instance, all the notes at the foot of the pages may be omitted, as well as many of the rules particularly the 1st or Common Rule for the Cube Root, p. 85, may well be omitted, being more tedious than useful. Also the chap ters on Surds and Infinite Series, in the Algebra: or these might be learned after Simple Equations. Also Compound Interest and Annuities at the end of the Algebra. Also any part of the Geometry, in vol. 1; any of the branches in vol. 2, at the discretion of the preceptor. And, in any of the parts, he may omit some of the examples, or hemay give more than are printed in the book; or he may very pro fitably vary or change them, by altering the numbers oc casionally.-as to the quantity of writing; the author. Would recommend, that the student copy out into his fair book no more than the chief rules which he is directed to learn of by rote, with the work of one example only to each rule, set down at full length omitting to set down the work of all the other examples, how many soever he may be directed to work out upon his slate or waste paper.-in short, a great deal of the business, as to the quantity and order and manner.
