Synopsis

This fascinating exploration of the field of arithmetic and mathematical training begins by introducing the reader to the building blocks of mathematical operations, arithmetic's history, and the broad scope of its applications. The author argues that a thorough understanding of arithmetic is not just a series of processes that can be memorized but rather a collection of tools that can be applied to solve problems. The book argues that reliance on memory to complete mathematical operations is outmoded and limits the mental abilities of students. Instead, the author presents an iterative problem-solving approach based on analysis and logical thinking. The book's ultimate goal is to provide teachers and students with a method of teaching and learning that emphasizes understanding over memorization.
