Synopsis

Master the foundations of algebra with a practical naval edge. This classic, secondary‑level treatise leads you through powers, roots, exponents, and the Binomial Theorem, with clear, example‑driven explanations tailored for midshipmen and students alike.

The book frames essential ideas in a compact, accessible style, tracing how powers and roots relate, and how logarithms can simplify multiplication and division. It blends theory with concrete problems, including transformations, fractional exponents, and polynomial work, all built toward practical navigation and mathematical fluency.



Structured to build competence before tackling advanced topics, it covers the Binomial Theorem, its proofs, and varied applications. It also presents the use and construction of logarithms, their properties, and methods for calculating. The text emphasizes step‑by‑step reasoning and hands‑on practice through examples and exercises.




  • Clear explanations of powers, roots, and exponents, with practical examples.

  • Rigorous treatment of the Binomial Theorem and its diverse cases, including fractional exponents.

  • Introduction to logarithms, their properties, and methods for computation.

  • Applications and exercises designed to reinforce theory through real‑world problems.



Ideal for readers who want a solid, time‑tested foundation in algebra and an accessible bridge to navigation‑oriented mathematics.
