Abstract
THIS new arithmetic consists of three parts, published separately. Part 1 revises the elementary processes of arithmetic, including mensuration, and includes a chapter on statistical graphs. Part 2 begins with the use of four-figure tables of squares, square roots, reciprocals and logarithms. Through the elements of mensuration it leads to numerical trigonometry. Part 3 is devoted to further work on trigonometry, mensuration, more difficult percentages, compound interest, civic arithmetic, stocks and shares, followed by an introduction to statistics for post-school certificate reading.
