Abstract
THE object of this book is perhaps best explained by a few quotations from the introduction. βTo see how a principle is applied is to acquire better understanding of its meaning. To know that a principle can be used enhances the value of learning it. Teachers endeavor to make the study of mathematics meaningful and fruitful by exhibiting this utility. . .. No teacher can hope to be cognizant of all the ways in which mathematics is being used, or to know where to find them. To meet the need for a broader knowledge of direct application this volume has been prepared. . . .β
