""A Treatise of Decimal Arithmetic: Or Decimals Applied to the Common Rules of Arithmetic; The Computation and Arbitration of Exchanges; Interest, Simple and Compound"" is a book written by Richard Gadesby and originally published in 1757. The book provides a comprehensive guide to decimal arithmetic, which is the use of the base-10 number system in mathematical calculations. It covers various topics related to arithmetic, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as more advanced concepts such as fractions and percentages.In addition to its coverage of basic arithmetic, the book also delves into the computation and arbitration of exchanges, which refers to the process of converting one currency into another. This section of the book includes information on exchange rates, how to calculate the value of different currencies, and how to determine the best course of action when exchanging money.The book also covers the topic of interest, both simple and compound. Simple interest refers to the interest earned on a principal amount of money, while compound interest refers to interest that is earned on both the principal amount and any accumulated interest. The book explains how to calculate both types of interest and provides examples to help readers understand the concepts.Overall, ""A Treatise of Decimal Arithmetic"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about arithmetic, currency exchange, and interest calculations.
