Abstract
IN this book the student is carried rapidly through a course of arithmetic, algebra, geometry and trigonometry to some of the simpler problems of mensuration and dynamics. The idea is to bring the desk and paper work of the pupil into closer touch than heretofore with the work of the shop or factory—in other words, to indicate from the very beginning the practical value of mathematical methods.
