Publisher's Synopsis
A New and Improved System of Calculation is a book written by Daniel Dowling and first published in 1829. The book provides a comprehensive guide to a new method of arithmetic calculation, which Dowling claimed was simpler and more efficient than traditional methods. The system is based on a series of rules and principles that enable users to perform calculations quickly and accurately, without the need for complex formulas or equations.The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the new system. The first section introduces the basic principles of the system, including the use of a simplified notation and the importance of mental calculation. Subsequent sections cover topics such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as more advanced topics such as fractions, decimals, and logarithms.Throughout the book, Dowling provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers master the new system. He also includes a number of practical applications, such as calculating interest rates and determining the dimensions of geometric shapes. The book concludes with a series of appendices that provide additional information on topics such as square and cube roots, trigonometry, and algebra.Overall, A New and Improved System of Calculation is a groundbreaking work that revolutionized the field of arithmetic calculation. Its clear and concise explanations, practical examples, and innovative methods continue to be studied and used by mathematicians and students of mathematics today.In Which A Universal Rule Of Proportion Is, By New Arrangement, Applied To Questions Relating To Military Affairs, Mensuration, Natural Philosophy, And Mercantile Operations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
