Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from An Elementary Course of Mathematics: Comprising Arithmetic, Algebra and Euclid

The main purpose of this text-book is to provide in a single and inexpensive volume a short course of Arithmetic, Algebra, and Euclid specially adapted to the needs of a large and increasing class of students: namely, those who after leaving school desire to continue their study of Elementary Mathe maties, partly with help derived from evening classes, and partly by means of private work at home.

The majority of such students work under somewhat difficult conditions. They have already received a certain training in Arithmetic, but their mathematical education has gone no further; and the problem which meets them is how - with very limited instruction and leisure - to maintain what they have already learned, and at the same time to acquire from the beginning a sound knowledge of Elementary Algebra and Geometry. What is needed by such learners is first of all a course of varied and graduated Exercises in Arithmetic; then a careful exposition of the two new subjects, Algebra and Euclid, arranged and treated in such a way as to smooth the path of a beginner, and to encourage him to overcome difficulties by relying on his own industry and intelligence.

These considerations have been kept in View in compiling the following pages.

Accordingly the section on Arithmetic is not intended to take the place of an ordinary text-book, but to supplement lectures and aid in the work of revision.
