Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns itself with the fundamentals of arithmetic, positioning it as a foundational discipline for broader mathematical study. The author takes care to lay out both the theoretical underpinnings of numerical operations like addition and subtraction as well as providing a comprehensive methodology for solving problems in these areas. The book discusses the historical development of arithmetic notation, especially the use of Arabic numerals, and positions this development as part of the evolution of mathematical thought in general. Ultimately, the book argues that arithmetic is a way to train the reasoning skills of students while providing them with a set of tools applicable to a host of real-world problems.
