An Advanced Arithmetic For High Schools Normal Schools And Academies PDF Download

Excerpt from An Advanced Arithmetic for High Schools, Normal Schools Every high school, normal school, and academy should allow sufficient time for a thorough review of Arithmetic. This book has been written as a text-book for that purpose, and for that purpose only. It is not intended for beginners, but assumes that pupils have previously read a more elementary Arithmetic. The shortest and surest road to a knowledge of Arithmetic is by solving problems. This work is abundantly supplied with well graded, practical problems, many taken from Wentworth and Hill's High School Arithmetic, but many of them are new, and of a kind to meet the requirements of the present time. These problems are designed to convey a great amount of useful information, as well as to furnish the very best mental training, the primary object of the study. They cover to a great extent the field of mercantile transactions, and so far as practicable the field of science. It is not necessary for any pupil, or any class even, to do all the problems. Every teacher can select such chapters and such parts of chapters as are suited to the needs of his pupils. Decimals are introduced at the beginning of the book. Numbers on each side of the decimal point perform precisely the same office. The only difference is that numbers at the left of the decimal point count whole units, and numbers at the right count equal parts of the unit.
