Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a thorough examination of the fundamental principles of arithmetic. It stands out from traditional arithmetic texts by rejecting the use of geometric demonstrations and rules, which the author argues can lead to confusion and vagueness. Instead, the author takes a numerical approach, presenting all operations as deducible from the foundational concept of counting. Beginning with the most basic principles of number, the book progresses through addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, illustrating each operation with clear and accessible examples. It also delves into fractions, percentages, and interest, equipping readers with a comprehensive understanding of numerical concepts. The author believes that true comprehension of arithmetic lies in grasping the underlying principles that govern numerical operations. By starting with a simple foundation and building upon it logically, this book empowers readers to develop a deep understanding of the subject and to apply it with confidence.
