About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Constructive Text-Book of Practical Mathematics, Vol. 3

IN this period of education when every study is measured by its vocational value, one must be wise indeed not to be misled into the belief that geometry is of value in the business or industry or profession in which one shall engage, only when its study is interspersed with every conceivable application. Yet the supreme value of demonstrative geometry to a boy or girl or to an older person, consists not in the various ways in which it may be applied, but in the fact that its study, when uninterrupted by extraneous material, gives the ability to think clearly and logically.
