Förlagets beskrivning
Excerpt from Equational Arithmetic, Applied to Questions of Interest, Annuities, Life Assurance, and General Commerce: With Various Tables by Which All Calculations May Be Greatly Facilitated It is said, that railways have been used in this country for more than two centuries: the recent and rapid exten sion. Of the system is a proof that the practical application and improvement of well-known arts is often of more value than an absolutely new invention. In like manner, the simplest form of fractional arithmetic, that of decimals, though so ancient, and to the present day so universal a branch of school-boy lore, has so unaccountably fallen into disuse as to be all but forgotten in after years. Another powerful motive for increasing in the public mind an interest in this mode of calculation is, that we thereby diffuse a knowledge of the great commercial benefits to be derived from an universal decimal scale of money, weights, and measures. Thus, we may ultimately obtain some parlia mentary enactment which may rescue this country from the disgrace of being behind some other nations in the practical application of general principles.
