Harveys Essentials Of Arithmetic Vol 2 PDF Download

Excerpt from Harvey's Essentials of Arithmetic, Vol. 2: With Everyday Problems Relating to Agriculture, Commerce, and Other Vocations This book is intended to cover, in particular, the work of the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth years. It begins, however, with a comprehensive review of notation and numeration, and the four fundamental operations, which makes it a book complete in itself. A thorough treatment is given of common and decimal fractions, denominate numbers, percentage and its applications, and other subjects usually taught in the upper grades. Great care has been taken to eliminate useless and obsolete subjects and to fill their places with matters relating to the present-day interests of the pupils and to modern business problems. The main purpose of the book is to secure accuracy and speed in the handling of numbers, and sureness in the interpretation of such problems as come within the range of the pupils experience. There is thorough drill in abstract number processes. In their concrete application an effort has been made to substitute for unreal or unstimulated conditions many problems of a prevocational character relating directly to the pupils experience, such as problems in manual training and household arts, commerce, agriculture, etc. Many problems suggested by recent national legislation have also been included, such as problems relating to the United States Parcel Post, Postal Savings Banks, the Federal Income Tax, the Tariff of 1913, and the new Federal Banking law. The reviews throughout the book are cumulative and thorough. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
