Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical Mathematics: Stage I
The object of this book is to develop in the student a clear and accurate conception of the more useful principles of Elementary Mathematics. For this purpose it is certainly not necessary that the student should master the complex scheme of rigid argument from which these principles are ultimately deduced; for example, the Sixth Book of Euclid is in no way essential to an accurate practical knowledge of the properties of Similar Figures.
A large number of worked examples have been inserted, and the book is well supplied with examples for practice. Both have been chosen with a view to elucidate principles, and to train the intelligence.
The chapters on Algebra are intended to give the student a thorough grasp of the meaning and use of Algebraical Symbols, Formulæ, and Equations, including equations of Variation. The theory of Indices has been explained with a view to its use in Logarithms. More complex algebraical operations, such as the manipulation of difficult fractions, have been omitted.
In Geometry, both Plane and Solid, every effort has been made to appeal directly to the sense of shape and measurement, and to give suitable practice in the use of Mathematical Instruments for geometrical calculation. In Descriptive Geometry it is especially necessary to warn the student not to learn rules by rote, but to remember them in connection with the solid figures to which they are intended to apply.
