Excerpt from Sheldons Complete Arithmetic: With Oral and Written Exercises
The chapters on Properties of Numbers, Fractions, Decimals, and De nominate Numbers are given in the usual order. Here, as in the preceding chapters, the definitions, principles and rules are reached by the inductive method, and the explanations of processes are models of simplicity and clearness. Due attention has been given to the Metric System of Weights and Measures, but instead of treating it as a separate topic, the tables have been introduced among the other tables of Denominate Numbers in their natural order, thus affording an opportunity for a comparison of units of measure.
In the chapters on Percentage and the Applications of Percentage, those processes have been adopted which the experience of business men has proved to be the most practical, and the problems introduced are simple statements of commercial transactions as they actually occur.
