Heath's Complete Practical Arithmetic

Charles E. White

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from Heath's Complete Practical Arithmetic
In preparing this book, the aim has been to make it complete, so that it might cover with sufficient fulness the topics usually required in common and grammar schools.
The aim also has been to make the work practical, i.e. to use only such rules, definitions, solutions, and problems as would accustom the learner to reason, compute, and estimate with the same facility and economy of thought with which business men reason, compute, and estimate in practical life.
Great care has been exercised to omit the merely theoretical and the unpractical, as well as problems that are too hard for the grades for which the book is intended.
The relations of the inductive work, the definition, the solution, the rule, are such that the learner, with a minimum of help, should easily master the difficulties through the logical progression of the steps from the known to the unknown.
While care has been exercised in selecting a great variety of practical business problems and in arranging them progressively, the development of mental power has been kept constantly in view.
The arrangement of this book is topical, but subjects previously studied are kept fresh in the minds of the pupils by frequent carefully prepared reviews.
