Adam's New Arithmetic: Arithmetic, in Which the Principles of Operating by Numbers Are Analytically Explained, and Synthetically Applied

Excerpt from Adam's New Arithmetic: Arithmetic, in Which the Principles of Operating by Numbers Are Analytically Explained, and Synthetically Applied

The arrangement of the subjects is that, which to the author has appeared most natural, and may be seen by the Index. Fractions have received all that consideration which their importance demands. The principles of a rule called Practice are exhibited, but its detail of cases Is omitted, as unnecessary since the adoption and general use of federal money. The Rule of Three, or Proportion, is retained, and the solu tion of questions involving the principles of proportion, by analysis, is distinctly shown.
