Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical Mathematics for Beginners
But though Practical Mathematics secures more and more adherents, the subject is still in a tentative stage. The recent revision of the syllabus issued by the Board of Education only two years after its first appearance, is evidence of this.
The present volume is designed to help students in classes where the new course of work issued from South Kensington forms the basis of the lessons of the winter session. Such students are supposed to be familiar with the simple rules of arithmetic, including vulgar fractions, hence the present volume commences with the decimal system of notation. The modern contracted methods of calculation, which are so useful in practical problems, are not taught in many schools and they are therefore introduced at an early stage.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book champions a revolutionary approach to mathematical education for engineers and skilled artisans. Challenging the traditional, formal methods of studying algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus, the author advocates for a practical mathematics curriculum directly applicable to real-world scenarios encountered in workshops and drawing offices. Emerging during a period of educational reform and evolving industrial practices, this text reflects a growing recognition of the need for specialized training tailored to the specific requirements of technical professions. Eschewing academic abstractions and puzzles, it prioritizes the comprehension and application of mathematical principles in practical contexts. Through meticulously crafted examples and exercises, the book delves into a wide range of topics, including decimal fractions, contracted methods of calculation, ratio and proportion, percentages, powers and roots, plane geometry, algebra, and mensuration. The author's emphasis on worked-out examples drawn from everyday engineering and workshop situations underscores the book's commitment to bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and its practical implementation. Ultimately, this book empowers aspiring engineers and artisans with the mathematical tools necessary to excel in their chosen fields, fostering a deeper understanding of the principles that underpin their work. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
