Beschreibung

Print on Demand. This book is an introduction to the most elementary principles of mathematics for pupils entering a military academy. This book begins with a retrospective look at the history and development of mathematics within the broader context of Greek philosophy and learning, and lays out a comprehensive syllabus for the study of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and logic. By providing the fundamental principles upon which much of present-day mathematics rests, the author's intent is to prepare pupils to investigate more advanced mathematical topics and, ultimately, use their skills practically in their field. By understanding the foundational grounding of the subject, the author believes pupils will be able to better grasp the beautiful and robust nature of mathematics, and pursue intellectual growth throughout their lives. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Excerpt from Hints, Theoretical, Elucidatory, and Practical, for the Use of Teachers of Elementary Mathematics and of Self-Taught Students: With Especial Reference to Vol. I. Of Hutton's Course, and Simson's Euclid, as Text-Books; Also, a Selection of Miscellaneous Tables, and an Appendix of the Geometrical Division of Plane Surfaces

With the same views, also, I have introduced the Appendix prepared and pubfished about thirty years since, on the Geometrical Division Of Sur faces, to which I have now added some useful pro positions from the geometry of Hirsch, and a few valuable results from Euler.
