Master the foundations of higher arithmetic with a clear, principle‑driven approach.

This text introduces arithmetic as a science of quantity, built on core definitions, axioms, and a focus on reasoning from known facts to unknowns. It guides learners through a logical sequence that starts with pure number theory and moves toward applying those ideas to everyday life problems.

This edition is grounded in classroom use, written to meet the needs of advanced high school and normal school students. It emphasizes understanding over memorization, with model solutions that teach step-by-step reasoning and insight.

A solid grounding in basic principles, notation, and numeration.
Careful coverage of the four fundamental operations and how they extend to complex numbers and measures.
Structured chapters on fractions, powers, roots, ratio, proportion, and mensuration.
Practical problem sets that connect arithmetic to business, time, and measurement problems.

Ideal for readers who want a thorough, rational approach to arithmetic, suitable for study and teaching alike, this edition aims to build mastery of principles that support long-term mathematical skill and confident problem solving.
