Robinson's New Intellectual Arithmetic by D.W. Fish American Book Company 1894
Title: Robinson's New Intellectual Arithmetic
Author: D.W. Fish
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: American Book Company 1894
Edition: Non Stated
Size: 5 X 7 * 192 pages
Synopsis: PREFACE.
THE importance, and the practical benefit to be derived from the study of Intellectual Arithmetic, not only as a preparation for business life, but as a means of developing and strengthening the thinking and reasoning powers, and of thorough mental culture, cannot be overestimated. Not only is it a necessary study for young pupils, but it is indispensable to the more advanced student, as a preparation for the prompt and accurate business man. And it is believed that, as a general rule, the most critical, correct, and ready students of mathematics are those who have been most thoroughly drilled in Intellectual Arithmetic.
This work is designed for those who have first been well taught in a primary book, and for such as are pursuing the study of written arithmetic or algebra, and who have never been thoroughly exercised in this branch of study.
The aim throughout has been to make the work progressive and comprehensive, to develop clearly all essential principles, and to afford a thorough mental drill in the application of these to the solution of examples and problems.
The Miscellaneous Problems at the end of the book will furnish a valuable drill for advanced students. These examples require the exercise of considerable thought and reasoning, but the frequent explanations designed as models, and the selection of numbers so adapted to the conditions of the question as to produce results free from difficult combinations, will render a mental solution of them comparatively easy.
Although this edition is a thorough revision, the features which have contributed to the popularity of the Intellectual Arithmetic have been retained. Much important matter has, however, been added, and the subjects have in many cases been more systematically arranged. By a judicious arrangement of matter on the page, it has been possible to include nearly twice as many examples without adding materially to the size of the book.
The book in its present form will commend itself to all by its handsome and clear typography, the logical sequence of the subjects, and its brief, but lucid, illustrations and explanations.
Overall Condition: Good + It has minimal wear to the cover and no holes or tears. The dust jacket is not included. The binding has minimal wear. The pages are undamaged with no creasing or tearing, no pencil underlining of text, no highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. There are no missing pages; see images.
