By A. H. Russell
From the foreword:
ARITHMETIC isn't really an issue approximately which the typical guy may wax enthusiastic, neither is it one approximately which he is familiar with a lot. it truly is infrequently thought of useful the eye of significant students, and is among the few matters on which no professorship, lectureship or readership exists at our Universities. but it really is of serious significance to such a lot folks in our day-by-day lives. males have often to make calculations in reference to their occupations, whereas girls are day-by-day faced with accounts and tradesmen's bills that want checking. so much people, in doing those calculations, nonetheless use the tools taught us in our early childhood-methods that are without doubt easy and appropriate for babies, yet that are sluggish and incapable of vast software. what percentage males, for example, may possibly say with sure bet how a lot might be taken off a invoice if 3½ according to cent have been allowed ? Or what percentage housewives might speedily money the butcher's assertion that the cost of the joint weighing five lbs. three oz.. at 1s. 5½d. in line with lb. is 7s. 6[3/4]d. ?
Arithmetic is likely one of the oldest of the Sciences, yet, like any others, it has complicated lately. during this booklet my brother has set out many of the more moderen tools of computation, together with a few which he has himself devised, and it'll be obvious that they're even more swift than the normal tools, and that the implications can effortlessly be checked. evidently your time and bother are precious for learning them, yet those who need to make calculations with out the relaxation of the slide rule or the luxurious of the calculating computing device will quickly recuperate forever spent, and for the remainder of their days may be the gainers.
This little booklet is available because the event of 1 who has effectively taught many scholars, who understands their capacities and the type of initiatives they're more likely to have for this reason to do. it's a severe attempt to make this humdrum, traditional, yet very invaluable topic extra beneficial through dashing up the paintings with no sacrificing accuracy, and as such it merits the eye of a large circle of readers, and particularly of teachers.

To calculate the straightforward curiosity for any variety of days at any cost by means of the 3rd, 10th and 10th rule. think we need to locate the easy curiosity OIl £352 for forty seven days at 6%. this is set out: 12 (/). Int = £352 X 6 X forty seven . a hundred X 3ti5 while utilizing this rule the Denominator should always be made equivalent to 73,000.
