This book is an introduction to the most elementary principles of mathematics for pupils entering a military academy. This book begins with a retrospective look at the history and development of mathematics within the broader context of Greek philosophy and learning, and lays out a comprehensive syllabus for the study of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and logic. By providing the fundamental principles upon which much of present-day mathematics rests, the author's intent is to prepare pupils to investigate more advanced mathematical topics and, ultimately, use their skills practically in their field. By understanding the foundational grounding of the subject, the author believes pupils will be able to better grasp the beautiful and robust nature of mathematics, and pursue intellectual growth throughout their lives.
