Book Description

Excerpt from The Gilbert Arithmetics, Vol. 3 Book III of the Gilbert Arithmetics aims to satisfy these demands of maturer minds. While taking for granted a knowledge of the tables and processes of the four funda mental principles, it contains a restatement in a more exact form of the essential definitions and rules given in Book II. It includes a review and an amplification of denominate numbers and of common and decimal fractions. The principles of percentage are fully demonstrated and traced to their origin in a manner so clear as to remove much of the difficulty usually attending the study of this subject.
