Synopsis

Excerpt from The Science of Arithmetic: For High Schools, Normal Schools, Preparatory Department to Colleges, and Academies

The broad and comprehensive treatment of subjects will be seen at a glance. In addition to what has already been said about Re duction, as in all its forms covered by a single principle, and of the Fundamea Rules. We may call attention to the treatment of Evolution, in which the pupil is taught to read the rule for the extraction of any root from the corresponding power of a bino mial; to the problems in Percentage, in which a single principle is seen to cover all cases; to Equation of Payments and Averaging Accounts, where a single brief rule includes all cases; to Life In surance,* where one line of thought gives the development of the subject in all its most important cases; and to other topics which will readily occur to the reader as illustrating the same method.
