Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on Arithmetic As we have found the proportion of two ingredients necessary to form a compound of a required value, 80 also we may con sider either of these in connexion witha third, with a fourth, and so on, thus making a compound of any required value, con sisting of any number whatever of simple ingredients. The two ingredients used, however. Must always be, one of a greater and the other of a less value, than that of the compound required.

Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on Arithmetic: For Use in the Public and Model Schools of Ontario Probably no subject of study in our schools is of more educational value than Arithmetic. More than any other it requires the student to form an accurate idea as to the magnitude of a quantity; to conceive the exact relation between the magnitudes of two quantities; by comparing two relations among three quantities, to obtain the necessary third relation by an act of the mind; and, finally, by repeating these processes under varying conditions, to bring a number of seemingly disconnected facts into relations, all tending towards a certain desired end. This on a small scale is just what the pupil must do on a large scale when he enters in earnest upon the practical affairs of life. The failure of Arithmetic, if there he any, to secure this object is due to no fault of the subject itself, but to causes which may be easily removed. (a) Too much time is spent in trying to teach "number analysis and synthesis" to young pupils, whose minds have not sufficiently matured to form the "concept" for which the symbol o stands. It may even be doubted that this concept ever is formed, that the pure number 13 is anything but a mere word or symbol, and that operations upon pure numbers are anything more than mere combinations of names, of symbols, or of sounds.

Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on Arithmetic, in Theory and Practice: Adapted to the Instruction of Youth in Schools and Academies in the United States But here it is to be observed, that the facility with which we can designate the highest numbers, and perform ever arithmetical calculation on them, has occasioned an insenss bility to the enormous magnitude of the numbers of which we speak. One billion is very easily mentioned. And easily designated by a unit followed by nine ciphers thus, The following consideration may, perhaps, assist in enlarging the ideas of the pupil on this subject to count a billion, at one per second, would require nearly thirty-two years.

Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on Arithmetic: Designed as an Introduction to Peirce's Course of Pure Mathematics, and as a Sequel to the Arithmetics Used in the High Schools of New England IT is not the design of this treatise to make arith metic easy, nor to give such practical rules as may be most useful in business. The Arithmetics in common use are amply sufficient for this purpose. The present work aims rather at the develop ment of ideas, than the inculcation of rules. It presupposes that the student can cipher, and would only teach him how to think, - how to handle the idea of numbers with which he is familiar, in the same manner in which he must take up, in higher mathematics, the ideas of space, velocity, 650. In this way, it hopes to smooth the path for his future progress in new branches of study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
